Bon accueil. L'hôtel est situé dans une localité au calme. Chambre spacieuse, claire et propre. Le petit-déjeuner est bien servi avec un bon choix. Possibilité d'y prendre le repas du soir.
Rien de négatif.
Room was lovley with lots of added extras. Breakfast was great and served with a smile.
Nothing not to like
Prijs - kwaliteit is onovertroffen; inn ligt midden in Wooler, heerlijk na een dag wandelen Personeel is heel behulpzaam
Lovely traditional pub, spacious and comfy renovated room. Very friendly staff and excellent beer and breakfast.
Greatb place to stay, definitely value for money food was great, breakfast and dinner, staff and locals really friendly and welcoming.

I can't say that there was I didn't like about anything in wooler .
Good value for money, friendly staff

The room was comfortable and clean and the staff were very helpful. The property was very dog friendly.
Car park was not obvious but my fault for not asking in advance!
the room was comfortable and with good quality toiletries
no lift
Locatie en het ontbijt. Vriendelijk personeel.
Erg versleten en uitgeleefd.
Good value for money. Handy location. En suite with bath is particularly useful for cyclists and walkers with sore legs. Excellent beer in the bar. Wooler itself is an interesting town.
Rock hard exploding poached egg. Replaced with scrambled egg which was absolutely fine.
Good location. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.
Nothing
Heart of the high street. We had a great room and the whole place was a throw back to inns of the last 100 years.
Bathroom a bit dated and carpet in breakfast room could do with a clean.
Room. dinner and breakfast were excellent vale for money
nothing
This was our second visit, so would definitely recommend The Black Bull.
Great room with a view down the high street. Very friendly staff and helpful. Also a great breakfast to start the day.
Came back again as really liked the rooms and the atmosphere in the pub. Simple grub and relaxed playing pool at the back.
Very convenient and clean, staff very helpful
Water pressure v poor
Great location for exploring the area- Warksworth, Bambrough and Holy Island. I had a clean, comfortable room, great breakfast and staff were friendly and helpful.
Nothing
The Black Bull is a little gem. The staff are super friendly, helpful, polite and efficient. They know their product and can answer any questions you may have. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. Thought had gone into this room. I was weary as we were right at the front on the first floor, so above the street and other bars. Needn't have worried, slept peacefully in a large comfortable bed. This was on a Tuesday night, so weekend could be different. The room has a lot of hanging space and storage, toiletries and coffee etc. Nothing was missing. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
Nothing
Very friendly staff. Superb breakfast
Room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was okay.
Not very welcoming. Shower didn’t work at times (no water) possibly because other guests were running their showers.
Location staff food
We were given a warm welcome by the lady at the bar despite her being busy with customers. She took the time ti explain where to park and to organise our breakfast choices. She was lovely
The property was nice there was nothing in particular I didn’t like
Central location, value for money, friendly helpful staff
Everything was good only problem is trying to get booked it’s a very popular hotel
Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was brilliant.
Room size very good but a bit dated bed great and clean
En suite far to small could hardly turn round also dated

Spacious room Food good Staff friendly
Perfecto para una estancia antes de subir a los highlands. Hicimos el check-in bastante tarde sin ningún problema. es un hotel típico con pub abajo, ideal para unas pintas. Cama muy cómoda, barrio perfecto para dar una vuelta.
Todo perfecto, nada que comentar.
Great location, bed very comfy. Nice big room, great facilities. Staff all lovely, cooked brekkie cooked to perfection.
Staff welcoming and friendly Location excellent
Great location. Friendly staff. Tidy room. Good beer.
Nothing. Everything was fine.
Fabulous breakfast included, other meals taken at the hotel very good.
Pleasant large room.
A little tired, large old building, but good value. Breakfast room very dated.
Friendly staff, great location, comfy bed, hearty breakfast, perfect!
Everything was as we were told plenty of food for breakfast. Room very big good quality furnishings comfortable. Tea coffee hot chocolate and biscuits in the room.
Shower very new and clean but maybe a bit more water pressure would be appreciated
It was easy to find. The room was large and spacious with en-suite.
Better signage to tell patrons where the car park for the hotel is. We couldn’t get the spa bath to work and there wasn’t any instructions. Two of the feet of the settee were broken so it was standing on books. Staff said this was in hand
The room was tastefully decorated with all the amenities we needed. The bathroom/shower was spacious and shower was hot and powerful. The bed was comfortable too, The breakfast was very good with the cooked element nicely made to our order and presented well. Choice of cereals, yogurts and a very welcome cooked fruit mix were enjoyed.
The entrance and stairs weren't very inviting, the carpet looking a little grubby - probably all the hiking boots and local customers! It was obviously a well frequented bar area. One or two things in the room could do with renewal/repair though there was a very nice new chair and everything was very clean. Unfortunately the night we stayed, a Friday, there was some late night street noise (loud voices), Obviously beyond the hotel control but otherwise it was peaceful enough.
We only had room and ate in the lounge/bar area
The shower
Room was comfortable and clean, Breakfast was good, location great, excellent value for money.
My room was large, spacious and very comfortable. (Comfy bed and pillows, carpet, table and chairs, surface to put my bag on) The food was good - evening meal and breakfast. This was an inn and had no loud music so the noise you had downstairs was of cheerful friendly people all chatting and enjoying themselves. It gave a lovely atmosphere.
The only negative comment is that it was very hot in the room as we were having a heatwave. The staff may need to consider a fan to help cool the room.
Very friendly staff , comfy bed , and a good breakfast.
All good , no complaints from me.
Comfortable cozy vintage vibes. It had good amenities for the price.
Breakfast
Not a lot
A very good breakfast. A friendly and welcoming atmosphere in the public areas. No problems parking. Good options for eating out within a 5 min walk.
Nothing.
Wooler is a fabulous market town and the hotel is on the High Street - I love Northumberland. There is easy parking nearby
Fabulous bath! (It was room 11) and comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast and good value.
Nothing. It was all good.
Excellent breakfast. Staff very helpful. It had its own car park. Positioned right in the centre of Wooler. Perfect location for a night if you are walking St Cuthberts Way. Milan restaurant next door was excellent.
Breakfast great. Good value for.money and our room.was very comfortable
Shower would.be nice as we.dont do baths
Friendly atmosphere, comfortable bed. Perfect location for St Cuthberts Way.
Was nice to have a bath but awkward not having a proper shower.
Convenient fir meeting with family members staying nearby.
Room was very hot.
Food was not good. Microwaved dinner, cooked breakfast was not edible.
Location and breakfast
Bit dated - bathroom could do with updatinh
Lovely place to stay.In a good location. Breakfast was very good. Amazing staff.
The food at breakfast was very good and the drink making facilities in the room were much appreciated.
The waitress at breakfast could haven more cheerful.
Perfect stay
Well stocked bar and good food , the breakfast was exceptional
The place was a traditional town centre pub friendly staff food was good room was comfortable but needed a lick of paint,Wooler is a lovely little town in a nice location 😀
The room was too hot and only two tiny windows would open to provide ventilation.
Great location for what we wanted to do.
WiFi didn’t connect in our room but was OK elsewhere in the building.
We did not have any breakfast, staff were freindly
Everything ok
We have been several times and staff are very welcoming Rooms are well equipped and comfortable Breakfast is freshly cooked and tasty
Not a dog lover andxalways a few dogs in
Made to feel comfortable immediately. Good beer as well 👍
Nothing

Helpful and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Good value for money
Only a hand held shower over the bath
Staff were good, food was decent typical pub fayre.
Wifi didn’t reach my room, which they know but don’t appear phased by it.
Location and the curry was exceptional
nothing
Lovely room, clean,warm and spacious. The breakfast was excellent. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay again.
Nothing to dislike
Very friendly and welcoming staff in a convenient location
Shower lacked power
Typical pub, animated conversation, friendly staff. Lovely room, well appointed and comfortable.
A very personal view from an 87 year old with mobility issues. Lots of stairs and an adequate, but petite shower cubicle.
Very good stay.
Friendly staff. Massive room. Great location. Good food. Lovely town.
We could only stay one night.
Stayed for 4th time that says it all

Great location great price. Nice friendly pub.
Nothing been many times before .
The food was very good . Big portions and great value for money . Our room was spacious and clean . The staff were very friendly . We would definitely stay here again .
There was nothing I disliked .
Stanza grande con letto king size comodissimo. Molto pulita. Ogni giorno bottiglie di acqua a disposizione. La posizione strategica per visitare le località più belle del Northumberland
La gestione della colazione. Abbiamo comunicato il primo giorno cosa avremmo voluto ed è stato così anche per gli altri giorni. Non c'era il foglio da compilare con eventuali cambi menù. Non parlando bene inglese avremmo apprezzato un po' più di collaborazione.
Have stayed here a number of times over the years and although it may not exactly be the Ritz it is a friendly little Inn, the rooms are basic but cater for all your needs while the staff can't do enough for you. Bar meals are reasonable and breakfast is excellent, will always be my first choice when visiting Wooler.
Location is great and staff was very helpful and friendly
Location, friendliness, comfort, food was amazing, staff were so helpful. Will definitely be back.
Nothing, great pub and hotel.
Really friendly staff and locals in the bar. Food excellent value for money. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order.
No shower, just a bath and hand held spray in our room, but I understand there are plans to update it with a shower.
Great size room and bed perfect views, very clean. Breakfast amazing. Staff so friendly and welcoming and helpful. Like home from home.
Fantastic staff, facilities great and location great
Nothing
Great value for money, landlady and staff were friendly and helpful. Food and room were both very good at these prices. Cask beer was kept well and the bar was lively. Will stay again when in the area.
The room we had was very nice & good value. Also the food there was great.
Some facilities not easily accessable if you had a disability.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was really good, we thoroughly enjoyed that. Dog owners ate in a different area which was a good idea. The bedroom was large and well stocked with tea and coffee.
The decor in both the pub and the bedroom was very outdated and shabby looking. Although there was a four poster bed the mattress was thick but didn't have much support, we didn't sleep too well. The price charged was more for location as anything else.
Meals at the Black Bull were good. Room was comfortable. Location was convenient.
Better choice of Malt Whiskies could be on offer.
Breakfast was good quality and plentiful and delicious. We ate in the pub the night before and enjoyed our meals and they were freshly cooked and reasonably priced. There was nothing we needed in our stay that we didn’t have
Nothing!
Good size twin room High street location
A bath. No shower in room No food available on the two evenings we stayed
Classic old coaching inn, central in Wooler. Not fancy but great value, lovely old room with big bay window. Staff friendly and helpful.
Shower ok but very low pressure - just enough water!
Nice and relaxing. .
Having to leave early, would of like to stay longer. ³
The room seemed recently decorated and was well kept. The bed was comfortable plus the bedding and towels were really soft. Lots of facilities in the room. Breakfast was nice with lots of choice. The shower was amazing - felt like I was under a waterfall!
There wasn't anything substantive that I didn't like. If I'm being really picky then overlooking the bus station isn't ideal (though the drivers are good at turning engines off and they aren't that frequent anyway). There's also a clock tower chiming every hour. However, neither of these things stopped me from getting the best night of sleep of my whole trip.
Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Colazione
