Five of us were on a charity cycle ride from Bishop Auckland to Blackpool and they couldn't have been more accommodating. The staff were great and the food and bar were excellent - top marks. Nothing was too much trouble for them, from storing our bikes to providing an early breakfast.

Just returned from a 2 night stay at this hotel. We booked a double room and our friend a single room. Our double (Room No 2) was actually a family room with a separate 'walled-off' section which had bunk beds, its own window and a mini-TV on the wall. The main section had a large bed, settee, good sized wardrobe,... More

We stayed here as we were walking the Dales Way. We arrived tired after a 16 mile walk, but were made to feel welcome and check in was quick so we could go to our rooms. We were on the top floor at the back , a small double bed room, which had wonderful views of the Howgill fells. The... More

We rang the bell, still nobody came to us, we had to... More

From the friendly welcome to the smiling goodbye my four night stay was a really good experience. The Bull is old and the recent refurb has not reached the second floor so my single bedroom on that level was rather shabby, but well equipped and comfortable. The food was very good. The breakfast menu was extensive and the large portions... More

I booked this last minute & managed to get a great room for £35 B&B. The room was vast if a little cold. It had been refurbished and was clean & in good order. The Wifi was not good but i was warned about that when booking. The bed was confortable & I slept well. The shower was hot &... More
