A wholesome stay
We had a one night stay at the Black Bull and wished we could’ve stayed longer. It’s such a wholesome place to stay, the staff are friendly, the rooms comfortable and set in a beautiful village.
Thanks
We’ll be back

Great stay with friends
Well signposted and so very easy to find! Very friendly welcome, comfortable, cosy bar and pretty decent food.
Our room was large with a huge bed and the only negative was the condensation on the inside of the windows.

Charming and Wonderful
Most amazing stay at this Community Owned pub and and inn. The room was lovely and we enjoyed our evening in the pub with the locals, learning the history of the area. Food was fantastic, fire was cozy and it was fun watching the football match with them. Charming and wonderful. thank you!

Very much enjoyed the dinner, absolutely delicious, as well as our breakfast. Our waitress even gave us suggestions for places to visit off the beaten path. We went to The Devil’s Pulpit and Lennox Castle - both unusual and happy for the recommendation.
This has been one of our favorite places to stay on our 2 week Scotland trip.
