Comfortable accommodation that suited our family group, with plenty of space, a well equipped kitchen and access to central Appleby with its good pubs and shops. The rooms were spacious, warm and the en-suites in every room were welcome plus the family bathroom for overspill. The private parking at the rear was good if a little tight for large cars. All in all a very good experience and one the family would willingly repeat.

Perfect place for a family gathering type of break.

Perfect place for a family gathering type of break. Appleby is peaceful and picturesque The black bull is spacious and the rooms comfy. Beds small but a great nights sleep. Decor is a little dated and the property is tired looking. Some improvements suggested in gardens both front and back. And minor maintenance is due (wall paper for example) All that said we had a marvellous time. Spacious dining table. Plenty of space. Nice touches with signage and plenty of board games. Gorgeous history. Fabulous break and great value for money Thank you black bull owners and please keep going. We noticed many places have closed down; such a shame.
