We stayed at the Black Bull exactly 10 years ago and enjoyed ourselves that much we had to return. Notwithstanding a change of ownership we were pleased to find the same high standards we remembered. There is nothing we can add to the positive comments other reviewers have left with regard to the staff, room, breakfast, evening meal - and beers.

The grim weather for our day touring the Dales by car. Not that we can blame the Black Bull for that :-)

Lovely staff, very friendly and accommodating. Beds were comfortable, room very clean and the shower was good. Breakfast was well cooked. Location was convenient. Good car parking facilities.

The menu for dinner was a little uninspiring and they had run out of two dishes by 7pm (salmon and fish pie) however they did offer to provide scampi as a fish alternative which wasn't on the menu. The bar closed at 9pm on the Thursday night which was understandable as there was nobody in.

From the start we were greeted with a friendly and helpful member of staff. The room was what I call "compact" but it contained every thing we could need. Thus, there was a wardrobe to hang clothes and a dressing table with drawers, comfortable bed, bedside tables and TV. The bathroom and toilet was also small but had everything including a double-head shower. An adjustable radiator kept the room cosy even when there was a storm outside. The cooked breakfast was excellent as were the dinners we had for each of four evenings. We felt completely relaxed and at home throughout our stay. We intend to return soon.

Nothing

The pub is in a lovely Dales setting, complete with the agricultural mechanic garage opposite. The beer garden has possibly the best setting imaginable. Staff were super friendly. Make sure you book for dinner if you're staying, it's well worth it. Room and en-suite were immaculately clean. They are used to catering for coast-to- coasters, although we just came up to travel the train line from Settle. You'd need a taxi from the station if you have luggage. Try Prima Taxis, again, so friendly.

Our room (3) was a bit tight for space so would not suit larger couples.

Very well appointed room with mirrors and electrical sockets in all the right places, for hair drying, makeup and charging mobile etc Very friendly and helpful staff including Maisie behind the bar and lovely Ann serving breakfast. (The lady who checked us in was lovely too, but I didn't get her name.) Great choice of well cooked and presented food, and huge portions!

Only thing I can fault in any way at all. - The car parking spaces are a bit tight (Especially when other users park REALLY badly, but that's not the Black Bull Hotel's fault)

The room was a little small but had a great view and was quiet even though it was right on top of the bar. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and provided good service when asked.

The process of getting to the hotel from the railway station was a nightmare. I should have organized the hotel to get a taxi to meet me. The taxi service in the area is non existent after 5:00 pm particularly on Sundays and phones are not answered. When I rang the hotel for assistance none was offered so I had to walk almost 3 km in heavy rain to get there.

Breakfast was lovely. There was a good choice of food to suit everyone from fruit and cereal to the full works. The vegetarian option was welcome. Plenty of tea, coffee and fruit juice. Toast was plentiful. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff extremely friendly and polite. If you wish to have an evening meal we can thoroughly recommend booking a table in the restaurant. The food was beautiful and reasonably priced. The views are wonderful especially from the beer garden.

Loved everything about The Black Bull at Nateby. Can’t fault it

Very friendly and professional staff. Food was excellent and good value Bed big and very comfy Modern bathroom, great shower

Very quiet location. Few facilities in the village and only limited parking. We just used it as a one-night stopover, so that was fine, but only suitable for a longer stay if either you want to 'get away from it all' or are happy to drive.

A beautiful part of the country. Black Bull not flashy on the outside but very comfortable and the evening meal and breakfast were outstanding. All staff were friendly, curteous and very helpful.

Just one very small thing... when we first came out of our bedroom, room 5, there was no light on in the long landing which includes a step midway which we couldn't see... all lights came on by sensor but only when we got to the corner where the other rooms were.

The whole package was excellent,starting from the meet and greet,escorted to the our room on route we were shown the dinning area also the lounge and bar was included .The bedrooms had excellent decor and furnishings ,WC and showers were excellent

Nothing to complain about - excellent all round ,we could not make comments
