The Black Bull Hotel Duns

Review by hotel critic

A Balanced Approach to Value and ComfortDuring our recent visit, I had the pleasure of dining at the Black Bull after a family wedding nearby. While we did not stay overnight, the restaurant experience was noteworthy. For our group of 20, including toddlers, the welcoming atmosphere was a highlight. The dining area combined charm and function, and we loved that the kids were entertained by the pet rabbits in the beer garden. The Sunday roast was quite satisfying; portion sizes were generous, with roast beef and lamb both well-prepared. At just around £11, the meal delivered solid value. While I appreciate luxury during travels, finding a place that balances cost-effectiveness with quality is essential. The staff were attentive, ensuring all our needs were met and even offering local recommendations for future exploration. Having dogs allowed in the bar area creates a friendly vibe, with locals joining in for a chat, enhancing the community feel. In summary, Black Bull offers a comfortable dining experience, reasonable pricing, and a sense of hospitality that feels personalized. An excellent option for families seeking value during their travels.
