Nice pub with good pub food and great

A review of 2 halves:The Bull is a traditional Cumbrian village pub with a warm welcome (especially the lady behind the bar on my visit) and 'hearty pub grub'. The route to the rooms is a little tired, but the room itself was clean and comfortable with everything you need after a long day of driving, including a hot bath.HOWEVER, the 'fellow guests' arrived back at 01:00 and continued to talk and 'cackle' at the top of their voices until 03:00, with no apparent intervention from any staff.IF A GOOD NIGHTS REST IS WHAT YOU NEED THEN THIS IS NOT THE STOPOVER FOR YOU. Pay more and stay somewhere that attracts a more considerate customer.

This hotel has beaten faulty towers sent to our rooms at 9pm as the bar closed,no breakfast we had paid for as no one was there apart from a cleaner who didn?t speak English & both beers were off , our shower didn?t work, never again run by total amateurs .Kirby Stevens how ever has got a lot to offer like the Taggy man & small bar with good selection of beers ,just avoid the Black bull

Was going there but had to cancel due to having covid19, lost £129 as they weren't willing to refund or change the dates, customer service was absolutely shocking with this issue,

I stayed here as I was working in the location. When I asked what time breakfast was, I was informed that it was 08:00 - 10:00. As I needed to set off earlier than that I asked if it was possible for some jogurt and some fruit. I was told that "we don't have that, we only do cooked breakfast".? There was no offer of getting me either, even though there was a supermarket just a 5 minute walk away. I don't know about you, but when I am paying over £100 for a room for one night. I think an option for breakfast should be made available. I had to go out and buy my own breakfast from the nearby supermarket. Not good.The bedroom is basic and the bathroom was dated. Several of the tiles have been replaced with a plaster patch and then painted over. I also felt that the staircase up to the rooms was dirty. I found that the room was noisy from the bar below, so if you wanted a quiet early night, no chance.I feel that because the hotel is on the Coast to Coast route, that business must come easy as there are limited places to stay.Would I stay again or recommend, probably NO. That said choice is limited.I didn't eat, so can't comment on the food.If you find my honest review useful, please follow me and have a look at my other reviews.TIA

Main street pub. Excellent real ale. Food average and expensive.

Great pub , traditional menu and staff very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend the sticky toffee pudding a great winter pud.Parking: Spaces near the pub , but a free large car park a few minutes walk away is ideal

Decent village pub. Booked fairly last minute for dinner but the online booking worked well. Good pub menu. Our group had a combination of steak pie and gammon mains. Both were very good. Had a nice feel to it with a roaring coal fire. Plenty of free parking outside. Lady behind the bar was friendly and welcoming.
