About The Black Bull Hotel
Kirkby Stephen makes a handy base for exploring both the Yorkshire Dales and the wider Cumbrian countryside, and The Black Bull Hotel puts guests right in the middle of it, on Market Street in the heart of the town. Walkers and drivers alike can head out into the fells or the dales for the day and return to a proper meal and a pint rather than a long drive back.
The hotel has 9 rooms, along with a restaurant and bar on site and breakfast included for guests staying the night. There's a garden to sit out in when the weather allows, and reception is staffed around the clock, so late arrivals after a long day's walk aren't a problem. Pets are welcome too, useful for anyone travelling with a dog for the hills.
There's no parking available at the property, so anyone driving will need to plan for this locally. Otherwise, the location does the work: Kirkby Stephen itself is worth a wander, and the surrounding countryside gives plenty of reason to base yourself here for more than one night.
