Loved that it was community owned & managed. Our room was huge, beautifully decorated with a stunning view out the window. Huge bathroom. Breakfast was delicious and served in a lovely little dining room with walls covered in local memorabilia. Quick drive to Queen Victoria Nature Park which we loved walking in & spotting the red squirrels.

Nothing. Disappointed that we were there on a Monday night when they don’t serve meals as their reputation is very good.

Staff were super friendly, room was large, comfy bed, bathroom fabulous. Absolutely loved it. They also kindly changed my reservation date as I was unwell on the original date. Definitely would return.

That I missed the chefs dinner. I had to change my Saturday to a Tuesday when it was barfood. Will have to return to try out the chefs menu as that looks amazing...

Breakfast was great, gluten free no problem. Rooms clean, nice hot shower, great view, hospitality was outstanding. Loved this place. Would highly recommend. Community run, super wonderful.

The light from the smoke detector was bright, so a sleep mask is helpful if that bothers you. Some people that doesn't bother so not really a "con", just didn't know what else to put in this section because there's not really anything we "didn't like".

Excellent village inn. Staff were very friendly throughout. The menu is short and what you might call ‘pub grub’ but it was very well cooked and tasty. The steak and ale pie was delicious! Bar prices are very reasonable indeed and the whole experience was very enjoyable. Room was clean and comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast was delicious and included in the price. Recommended.

Cute community run Inn. Good local food. Great atmosphre and history. Location in the middle of small village / town. Great base for activites in surrouding area. Breakfast on the lighter side but good quality. Dinner was nice experience because it was served in the pub ( becuase of the quize night ). Lots of locals around.

Check inn was bit late ( 16 /17 ).

Great little community pub/hotel in a lovely location. Staff were really friendly and the room was pleasantly decorated with a comfortable bed. We had an evening meal there and really enjoyed the food.

Room was a little smaller than expected despite super-king bed, but that was fine as we only stayed for one night. We arrived on a Thursday night & booked the last sitting for dinner due to travel. Staff were amazing & food was great but we did end up eating alone in a massive restaurant room with wedding-y style classical music on in the background which felt a bit formal. Would've preferred to be able to eat in the bar. That said these are small issues & would happily stay again.

The room was lovely and comfortable. Amenities met our expectations and the villagers who own the pub between them had done a very good job of modernising the rooms for guests. Set in a nice little village, so was quiet and peaceful.

A little disappointed in the check in time, as it was later than most other accommodation. Personally I did not enjoy the cooked breakfast. We had to go out in the car to get an evening meal as we stayed on a night that they don't offer an evening meal service, which we had not realised when booking.

This Community owned Hotel was really great. In particular the friendliness of all the staff! Also the very high standard of the food during the afternoon and evening- all of which was extremely reasonably priced.

We were disappointed with the quality, quantity and choice of the breakfast- having experienced such wonderful food the previous day.

From the moment we arrived to when we left, the staff and volunteers made us feel very welcome. The room and facilities were excellent, clean tidy and well stocked. We enjoyed the craft beers and the food at dinner and breakfast was simply superb! Hats off to all at the Black Bull Gartmore for providing us with a truly lovely experience during our 2night stay.
