What guests think

Across the reviews, The Black Horse Inn is praised as a welcoming pub-with-rooms offering comfortable, good-value accommodation, tasty food, and friendly service, with many noting spacious, quiet rooms for an easy, relaxed stay.

Several reviews mention chalet-style ground-floor rooms with individual entrances and appreciated touches like air conditioning; a few found lighting a bit dark or beds too soft. Cleanliness is generally praised, though a small number reported cobwebs, a stained sofa, or harsh bleach smell. Parking is usually easy and secure but can be busy at peak times, and the quiet village location suits visits near Gainsborough and Blyton Park. Expect a relaxed, good-value country pub stay.

Couldn’t park within a mile of the place - it was a sunny day and the car park was packed. When I eventually got in the property I was told there was no record of my booking - no signal to show booking on phone. Hotel then took the booking fee out of my bank account the following day - angry and frustrated is not the word! I will obviously not be back here

Great value for money. Excellent quality accommodation in what appeared to be a purpose built single storey building adjacent to the main pub / hotel, with a 'terrace' of adjacent rooms. I had my own entrance door off the rear car park area with a room so large you could almost live out of it (ensuite shower room and a sofa also as well as plenty of storage for clothes). Great pub with good food and large selection of beers, etc and plenty of secure parking to rear.

We stayed here overnight for a friend’s 60th nearby. The area is quiet but we knew that already as we had visited with those friends on a number of occasions. It was close to Blyton’s Ice Cream with a vast array of delicious homemade ice creams to choose from, and a lovely little tea room around the corner called Tiffin’s. We managed a lovely walk around the village in sunshine too. Very enjoyable stay, lovely evening meal. The only downside (for us) was the overpowering smell of bleach in the room but, for one night it was manageable, and we at least knew the bathroom was spotlessly clean. Lovely hot shower. Room felt a little dark even with all the lamps on. Could do with a brighter bulb in the main room. Plenty of PowerPoints for charging.

Booked myself and my black Labrador in for 3 nights. Spacious room, nice decor and very clean. Comfy bed with plenty of pillows. The full English breakfast was spot on with good quality items. (Thank you Ben). All the staff were engaging and very helpful. Great value for money! Would highly recommend this place and will definitely stay again should I be down that way again.

Quiet village setting near Gainsborough, handy for Blyton Park and local walks, ice cream parlours, and tea rooms. Suits a peaceful stopover more than a lively stay.
