Had a fantastic time relaxing at the outdoor wooden tables overlooking the sheep pen, perfect for sunset drinks! The food portions were massive and just what we needed after a long day. Loved the cozy ambiance and the history. Great spot for a leisurely evening and I even had underfloor heating in my room!

The mattress left us sore, yet the meals were generous and delicious.

The pub atmosphere buzzed with life, adding a welcoming vibe to our stay. Breakfast hit the spot with locally-sourced ingredients, offering a solid value at just £7.50 for a full English. The room featured a convenient en suite wet room that made morning routines easier.

The adjoining door to the next room allowed for unwelcome noise from the TV, which could be annoying in the evenings. The decor throughout felt dated and the bathroom had lingering odors alongside some stains on the tiles. For a one-night stay, the facilities felt a tad cramped, with not much room to move around comfortably. There were also reports of inconsistent cleanliness, especially in nooks like the bathroom corners where dust hung out too long for anyone's comfort. Lastly, there were issues with the mattress comfort, making it hard to get a decent night's sleep.

The welcoming staff made our stay seamless, noting our requests perfectly and ensuring a spotless room that was also very comfortable. Dinner was a highlight, featuring some of the best fish and chips we've ever had, alongside generous portions. Conveniently located for a wedding nearby, it made the experience even more enjoyable, although it would have been nice to have a larger variety of breakfast options.

Family with children certainly enjoy this place

The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive we felt like royalty the moment we walked in and the food was just amazing especially the fish and chips it was like heaven on a plate that you can’t forget about.

It wasn’t exactly cheap but considering the experience it felt acceptable.

incredible value with easy access to charming attractions and nature

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, especially the tidy ensuite room that offered all the necessary comforts. Being just a short stroll away from the beautiful Willingale Doe churches, which made for a lovely afternoon walk. the breakfast was a real highlight too, offering everything you'd expect and more for the extra cost, making it truly worthwhile.

Pleasant stay with a lovely outdoor area for drinks. Noise from adjoining rooms made it hard to relax at times. Great full English breakfast for £7.50, generous portions at the pub too.

The charm of this lovely old pub was delightful! The staff were wonderfully accommodating. Just a bit let down by a slightly outdated bathroom. a pleasant stay! 😊

we had a great time at the black bull inn. the bar had a wonderful vibe, and the breakfast was fantastic. for just £7.50, we enjoyed a full english made from local ingredients. the room had a nice en suite wet room, too!

Cozy stay with a bangin' breakfast

Had a lovely stay! The host was super friendly and really cared about our visit. Breakfast was fab, a proper cooked meal that hit the spot. Everything was spotless, which was a nice surprise. Only wish the bar area had more seating, it got a bit cramped. a solid place to chill and enjoy.

Charming, Charming, Charming

I loved the cozy outside seating with views of the serene sheep pen, perfect for enjoying drinks in the fresh air! The huge portions of the pub meals, especially the fish and chips, left me both satisfied and impressed! Plus, the home-cooked breakfast, sourced locally, was a delicious way to start my day!

do recommend 💖✨

Just a top selection for a transient visit in Fyfield (Essex) with great value for money. The shower was functional and saved time in the morning. Keep an eye on arrival times to avoid confusion.

Charming ambiance and great food

The pub's character and the warm atmosphere made my stay truly enjoyable. I particularly loved the generous portions of the meals, especially the fish and chips, which were among the best I've had. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making the whole experience feel personal and delightful. the room could use some soundproofing to minimize disturbances from neighboring guests.
