Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had a small but well appointed room with a small ensuite. Dinner and breakfast were delicious with great service and very friendly staff. Convenient parking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return. Certainly recommend.

Lovely hotel, a hidden gem. The room was lovely clean and very comfortable. Staff friendly and very helpful. Nothing too much. The food was amazing. We had breakfast which was fabulous and ate in the restaurant on both nights. Can highly recommend everything we had. From the steak and Guinness pie to the fish and chips risotto, pate ….. it was all fabulous. Busy all the time, definitely worth a visit. Would highly recommend

We have visited the Black Bull on several occasions and the standard has never faltered. The rooms are modern, clean and well serviced. The staff are very friendly helpful and efficient, particular mention to Gemma,Connor and Matthew who make you feel so welcome. The food is pub food but done so well with a menu that covers all requirements. The bar has a good selection of beers,wines and spirits. Book and you will not be disappointed.

All the staff were warm and friendly from the moment I arrived. Very helpful. I arrived before my partner and had a meal on my own and felt very comfortable. The staff even offered to help with my bags if I needed help to my room with having my dogs with me.

Fantastic TAKEAWAY! Yes that's right, they do take away. Fabulous Saturday celebrating with friends, my sons birthday we chose takeaway from Nateby as there was 17 of us, I rang up on Thurs to pre book. Gemma who took our order was extremely helpful. When we arrived on Saturday to collect thr takeaway it was very efficiently served . We live approx 5 miles away from nateby but the food was still hot and and absolutely delicious. As mention there was 17 of us including children, everyone of us enjoyed our meals thoroughly with not one single complaint. I would recommend natebyblack bull pub for a delicious sit in meal as I have always enjoyed going there but if you want a change from the usual kinds of takeaway options I would definitely recommend this place!

We had lunch here as a family with a baby and dogs and we were made very welcome. The pub is very nice with a tiny bar and mainly tables for dining. We had the Sunday Roast which everyone enjoyed. Large portions of tender meat and lots of fresh vegetables, all nicely served and very hot. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. Service was really fast. Very dog friendly.

My friend suggested coming here and I'm glad we did. The scenery on the drive over from Dent was stunning. On arrival at the pub we were delighted to see a charming interior. Staff are lovely, and the other pub customers were lovely too and made us feel very welcome. The food was of superb quality and very delicious, generous portions, too. Would highly recommend this venue for a meal. We all had starters. A prawn cocktail, mushroom risotto, and chicken goujons followed by rack of ribs with homemade chips and 2 steak and guiness pies with homemade chips and fresh veg. This pub is a must for a visit. Best meal out for a long time.

Excellent country pub, fabulous food, welcoming staff, and reasonable prices. I had a generous portion of very tasty lasagne, and hubby had a perfectly cooked steak. Off the beaten track, but definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
