The Black Bull Inn

Staff were lovely, food was really good. We had an issue with one evening meal and it was addressed straight away without fuss. Our room had a little balcony which was a lovely surprise. Also the real flower installation in the restaurant was amazing.

Nothing... really lovely place.

The food at the Black Bull Inn was exceptional, we loved the dining experience for each of the three nights we ate there. The location of the property is in a lovely village that is ideally placed for those who want to hike in the area, although some walks have a steep climb, but worth it the higher you go. Beautiful scenery.

There wasn't much we didn't like. The service on the first night could have been better at the start, but improved towards the end of the meal, and the serving staff never really seemed to be too happy, two members of the serving staff did however lighten up the evenings.

What a fabulous place! We had one of the best dinners in a long time! Great artistry in the cooking. Exceptionally tasty food and a very long and interesting selection of wines to choose from. The restaurant was beautifully filled by a local florist with branches of blossom and an amazing display of Spring flowers in the big window. Very friendly staff everywhere – made to feel welcome.The next morning we had a delicious breakfast which we – unfortunately – couldn’t linger over as we had to rush off. They took our order and rustled us up porridge and perfect scrambled eggs in no time.A strong recommend.

Good

Thought the breakfast price should be included in the price of the overnight stay.Couldn’t supply whole grain toast with scrambled egg. Had to accept toasted sourdough which is very. hard work toasted.

Room lovely with a great shower , superb bar n fire . Staff attentive .

Restaurant food very classy but some dishes expensive .Parking entrance takes careful moves , but its an olde building so can’t be helped !

great location

Staff were excellent and very attentive but i have to say its overpriced and shocked to find that breakfast was not included in the £160/170 per night room rate (but i should have checked the booking i suppose).food was good but again expensive.

I loved the ambience in the bar with the delicious looking cakes and the roaring fire. All very welcoming. The food of course was wonderful. My Dad and husband both had the white beef pie and I wish I'd had it. Fantastic!!

No mention of car park on the web site - this would have been helpful

Lovely olde worldly comfortable bed, good shower and somewhere to park your car

It was a bit cold at times

Great location, comfortable rooms and delicious food.

Tight turn into the car park ?

The room was very nice and the bathroom

It wasn’t the property it was the food. Breakfast wasn’t very good. First morning we both have poached eggs on toast. The bread was very stodgy, didn’t seem cooked enough. My eggs were also not cooked enough, snotty. 2nd morning we asked if we could have different bread at breakfast but told there wasn’t an alternative, and the sour bread is made every morning. We feel there should be an alternative to sour bread, not everyone likes it. Also, the rest of the breakfast wasn’t very hot or cooked well.

Modern yet homely and welcoming. Staff were just brilliant. Our room was very comfortable with a lovely large bed and spotless en-suite. Food was exceptional.

Took us a little while to cool down the room. But this is being really picky!

Excellent location and very efficient and friendly staff

Limited food menu , food ok but not value for money Some of the drinks and sundry items sold in the bar of very poor quality and extremely overpriced

What a fantastic place! Such friendly staff, had the best steak pie I've ever tasted, and the bed was enormous and so comfy. Loved the bar area with a roaring fire. Would highly recommend.

Can't think of anything negative, it was all fab.

Everything about this boutique hotel was good.

The one downside was that the bedroom was far too hot. The bedroom window was wide open when we arrived to try to cool the place down and we had to keep it open, but still too hot - in October!

Pleasant and welcoming, well furnished and nice atmosphere. Staff very pleasant and excellent menu and food.

Bedroom was very warm but open windows soon helped it to cool down.

Food was excellent. Room was clean and well laid out. Staff were first class.

Very comfortable well-decorated rooms with excellent bathroom. Staff were first class and clearly liked contributing to a great experience.

The quality is astounding. Premium place. From walking through the doors, the staff are excellent, the drink is excellent, the food is out of this world!!! The rooms are the nicest I've seen. This really is a top top place to stay

Leaving

We love coming to Sedbergh, this is our second time staying at the Black Bull and I can see it becoming a regular. The staff are very friendly, we are in the restaurant twice - different menu each day, but didn't stay for breakfast. The pub is a great place to relax in the evenings, playing board games (provided) over excellent beer (also provided). Room was comfortable with a good shower.

the kettle didn't work in the room - I'm not taking points off for that, it's very easily fixed, I just forgot to mention it to them

The room was really lovely as were all of the staff. Clean, comfy, tastefully decorated and in a STUNNING town. The breakfast was utterly phenomenal.

We did struggle to reach the property prior to our stay and wound up not getting answers to some critical questions for whether or not to book, but luckily the things we needed were available.
