Martha
Our room was lovely. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious!
Sean
Room was ok, no complaints. Breakfast would be better if they offered veggy options such as meat free sausages
Brent
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Dinner far exceeded expectations. Best meal we've had on our trip to England.

Would stay again
This motel style accommodation is convenient and easy to access.
The building housing the accommodation is right beside the pub.
Lovely big room with comfortable superking size bed.
Breakfast included, served in pub.
If you have time, its worth wandering in the sweet village. Look out for the thatched cottages with cute detailing on the roof.

Comfortable place to stay
Very comfortable and spacious modern rooms in a block to the side of the pub so quiet too. A huge bed. Staff were very good, with special thanks to Luke.
Sabiha
Surprisingly quiet despite the pub and outdoor seating setting. Staff very friendly and food was good.
Tony
Two great nights in June.
What a hidden gem the Black Bull Inn is. Lovely private and very comfortable accommodation.
Breakfast that was included was tremendous and the two evening meals we had were so great and tasty.
The super friendly and helpful staff made the stay perfect. We will certainly return when we are next visiting from Australia.

One night stay asked on arrival what time I wanted breakfast and was told anytime after 7.30 would be available . So I went for 8.am went down for breakfast at 7.55 and there was no one there place was all locked up. Butcher delivery man tuned up went round to kitchen and came back saying no one in place kitchen has not been opened. So packed my van to leave. While packing, front door of pub / restaurant opened it was now 8.20am with chef coming out saying we were told breakfast was for 8.15. Rubbish service rubbish comunication

Great pub,
Fabulous inside and good food. Great service and rooms are to a good standard. Prices a touch high, but I’ve stayed in much worse and paid much more. Very attentive crew, who go out of their way to oblige. I would definitely stay again.
Overall, good to very good. Worth making the effort to visit and stay.

Disappointing
The room hadn't been cleaned properly before arrival as the floor was dirty and hair everywhere, even in the bed!
The restaurant was closed for the evening and although we paid for breakfast in the booking, nothing was provided as the pub was still closed.
The pub, rooms and location were fine but just let down by minor details that could have been easily rectified.

Fantastic stay
Cannot rate this Inn enough. Fantastic place from the accomodation to the staff. Nothing was to much trouble. Room, food, staff everything was just so good
Roger
Great food, good accommodation
Pleasant stay at the Black Bull, comfortable accommodation in detached courtyard with reasonable facilities (TV, Coffee/Tea/Stand Up Shower/Bath, Hanging and charge points). Food (Dinner & Breakfast) was excellent and hospitality by Alex was excellent. Very quiet village with limited services but perfect for some R&R or Stansted stopover.

Smashing little place. We didn’t eat here so couldn’t comment on food
Mark
Comfortable hotel . Rooms quite big. Free easy parking restaurant is also good so was breakfast. Staff cheerful which is always nice especially after a long day of airport delays. Keep it up guys.
Jonathan
Warm and welcoming
We arrived at the hotel early as we were on the wine tour and didn't want to be late. The kitchen made us bacon sandwiches before our taxi turned up to take us for the tour. When we arrived back we were met by a friendly team of staff where we were made to feel very welcomed.
The pub turned into a dog fest in the evening and we had a lovely time.
Would definitely go back for a weekend break.

Too expensive
The cost was far too expensive for the room. I would have expected to pay around £70/80 for the room. A couple of lamps had bulbs that were out. I moved the bed to plug in my radio alarm and there was quite a bit of dust on the floor.
The cooked breakfast was good and staff were friendly.

Nice place but pricy
Nice rooms, staff friendly and food good, however feel it was quite pricy for the place considering you are ina village with not much else around.

Friendly & Comfortable
Lovely, friendly staff who welcomed me by name. Quiet, comfortable room.

Charming place to stay
Was there for just an overnight for a meeting the next day. The Black Bull is situated in a lovely little village, which felt very peaceful. Rooms were chalet type, good size, but the insulation between rooms was quite thin. I could hear the person next door walking around their room. The pub was great though landlord and staff were very friendly and enjoyed a chat.
roger
Nice room, with the caveat that the electronic door lock reset twice during the night and woke me up!

Bra flygplatsnära boende
Bra boende på landet. Stort modernt rum, rent och snyggt. Trevlig pub på armlängds avstånd med bra kök. Ett alternativ till hotell vid Stansted Airport, bara 40 minuters bilresa.
