Excellent first visit.

Chose this pub simply because its local and I hadn't eaten here before. I took my mum with me and we had a starter, main course and dessert. Everything we ate was delicious, well cooked and piping hot. The staff were very efficient and friendly and the whole place was well decorated with a friendly atmosphere. My only regret is I didn't visit sooner I will definitely be back.

Excellent experience

Good, fresh food well cooked, great value for money. Attentive service but not fussy and very well kept beer! As I found out later that they are award winners. The log fire was lovely and cosy and certainly contributed to the warm friendly pub. We will definitely be back, and not just for our 10% discount.

Stopped by here on our way to the coast.

Given a warm friendly welcome by the barmaid we ordered drinks and asked if they were serving food told sorry no finishes at 2pm, it was 2.03pm.However off she went to check with the kitchen and told yes you can order food, and that's what you call customer service. We both ordered club sandwich and oh boy was it worth the wait, toasted bloomer with a side of fries and side salad. It was absolutely gorgeous and a huge portion.

Great stay with great service

Turned up with a party of 16, had to add a plus one and was well accommodated, really good food and service, mine didn't arrive as expected but the team put it right straight away, always difficult with a large party of people, but the food came almost simultaneously for everyone which was unexpected, food was excellent from that point, the place has a lovely historic feel to it as several of our party had been here before over the last couple of decades, would definitely return myself.

Absolutely excellent

Well worth the effort to visit , we had the fish and chips x2 plus the southern fried chicken tenders and chips, I can honestly say it was the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten out couldn’t fault it , my wife said her fried chicken was really tasty , the place itself is tastefully decorated and you can tell they have a pride about the way it looks. We would not hesitate to recommend this Inn, also a mention to the lady who looked after us Alice , brilliant!

Fabulous Hosts!

The Room we stayed in at the Bull was very clean and spacious, lots of hot water for a bath etc. TV good, bed comfy. The breakfast on Sunday morning was massive, everything you would want from cereal, FULL English, large pot of tea or coffee, toast, jams etc. presented beautifully at the time we requested 9.0 am, forgot to mention Saturday night meal again was excellent, we eat there regular through out the season.

Enjoyed every bite!

Popped in here as I was looking for somewhere to eat dinner at a reasonable hour. I arrived just after 4.30pm, and was told they didn't serve food till 5. One relaxing cider later, I ordered the steak and ale pie with mash. I'm a little fussy with my food, but was hoping for something nice.

A lovely stay

Just back from a one night stay in this Pub with rooms and thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed in The Barn conversion just up the road which was spacious, cosy and well appointed. Dinner was very good, as was the service. Breakfast was top quality and the lunch we had after a long walk up Malham Cove was also very good. Just a couple of words of advice. This venue is very dog friendly.

Really great meal

In a lovely environment with friendly staff. We had heard this place had changed hands so wasn’t sure what it would be like so we were very happily surprised. Fantastic food. Steak and ale pie was delicious as was the sticky toffee pudding. Very friendly and efficient staff. Nicely decorated place. Inviting bar area. Would recommend.

Beautiful and breathtaking!

I went in January for a wedding fair, this was the first venue we went to visit and I didn’t expect to book it there and then but the whole experience was just amazing, the hotel was absolutely perfect, really modern and very romantic and beautiful. We went off for lunch and viewed a few rooms and the spa and cannot wait to use this ASAP! We booked our wedding venue there and then, the staff were so friendly and helpful particularly for me as I am disabled and wheelchair bound.

Food to die for!

I went with my son on Saturday 4th September. We had fillet steak skewers and the lasagne. Was beautiful. Staff was really nice and nothing to much trouble. Well done to you all and we will be returning soon.

Good value for money

Went for impromptu lunch. Excellent service. Food was lovely and very good value for money. I chose the scampi and changed the sides due to my foodie intolerances and this was accommodated without fuss. Staff very friendly.

Highly recommended

When I travel to Cardiff I always try and book in at this inn. I have never had a bad experience and would fully recommend it. I have always had a warm welcome from the staff and they cannot do enough to ensure that I have a great stay. Its a combination of good accommodation and a great restaurant and bar on site.

Lovely food.

Myself and my partner went for a meal after work. I've got to say the steak was perfect. I always order medium rare and in a lot of restaurants it can be hit and miss. But it was perfect. My partners pie was delicious. Loved the Christmas decorations and ambience. Even though the manageress was on her own there was no fault in service. We will be back very soon.
