The Black Bull is a wonderful place to stay whilst in Northumberland. The rooms are modern, well furnished and clean. The staff are friendly and caring. At breakfast there is a good selection of dishes, all good quality food. The only complaint we had was the length of time it took to be served dinner. Whether they had staffing problems that night I don't know, but from arriving, and the table was pre-booked, it took about an hour for us too get our food. When it came through, it was delicious.
