Black Bull Godmanchester

Nice welcome Room ready 2pm good atmosphere no problem changing dinner from 2 to 5 and different time. nice food reasonably priced. Room Comfortable maybe a bit tired In places but comfortable bed,good shower plenty hot water tea,coffee in room

Clean and comfortable, perfect for an overnight stay to break up a long drive. Note the rooms are quite small, so best only to take a small overnight bag rather than a case. We particularly liked that the rooms are named after local historic events and the stories are displayed in the rooms, a unique touch. We stayed in Pathfinder and Epsilon rooms. Having grown up nearby, I hadn’t realised there was so much history associated with this small village! So our short stay turned out to be quite educational! We also ate dinner here and whilst the menu is standard pub fare, it tasted very fresh and was nicely presented. As it was a beautiful sunny evening, we were able to enjoy the lovely beer garden followed by a relaxing walk along the river to Godmanchester locks.

The photos of the Black Bull do not do it justice. Godmanchester is one of the most beautiful, historic towns in Cambridgeshire, dating back to the Goths and Romans, and the Inn itself a historic coaching Inn with stables and garden to the rear. Our room, The Stirling named after an aircraft which crash-landed in Godmancherster in WWII, was large, comfortable and very nicely decorated. Food was only available in the evenings, but there were multiple charming cafes and restaurants to choose from within 5mins walk. Dinner was very good, lots of choice and low-key entertainment and special evenings in the Bar several nights a week. Even though the rooms are directly above the bar, things quieten down at around 9:30-10pm so there were no issues with noise any of the 5 nights we stayed. Wifi was superfast which was great for work as there was no difficulty with video calls or screen-sharing. We will definitely be back and are already looking forward to our next stay and exploring more of the beautiful Fenlands and waterways around Godmanchester.

Family and dog friendly pub. Was refreshing to see families playing card games and having a lovely time. Staff were lovely and friendly. The room was lovely and clean, could do with a bigger TV.

Its location was perfect: near the river and all facilities in a beautiful, quiet small town. The history of this property, previously a coaching inn, was presented in an interesting way. The rooms were named after historic events which happened locally. The building itself was quirky and full,of character. The rooms were well equipped and had comfortable beds. Its location was perfect: near the river and all facilities in a beautiful quiet little town with many historic buildings.
