We had an overnight stay on 11th March to meet up with friends. On arrival the bar area was informal, warm and welcoming. We stayed in a double room overlooking the front of the property. The room was inkeeping with the property with a lovely coay feel. The bed was comfy and we slept very well. The bathroom was lovely and clean with complimentary toiletries and fluffy white towels, although the shower may need an update even so it gave plenty of high pressure water and it was hot!
Our friends had booked a table so we got to experience all the amenities the Black Horse had to offer. We were the only party dining, everyone else had cancelled due to the poor weather conditions. We had a beautiful meal with plenty of good wine, our waitress was lovely and nothing was a problem, especially as we had several bottles of rapidly evaporating wine!! After our meal we spent a couple of hours in the bar by the fire and not once did the landlord or his staff make us feel like they wanted us to leave. This morning we had a full english breakfast which was hot and delicious, another bonus for me was small chopped mushrooms rather than a portobello(theres something about a whole massive mushroom sitting on my plate that really puts me off).
Its safe to say we had excellent company in our friends but I think the cosy atmosphere of the Black Horse on a cold winter night made it all the more special.
We will definitely be staying again.
