Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We stayed at the Black Horse Inn for my husband's birthday weekend in October and had such a lovely time. The rooms are comfy and attractive, the pub is friendly and welcoming and the food is amazing! We had our evening meal there both nights, had breakfast too and everything was fantastic! If you're looking for a relaxing break in gorgeous North Yorkshire while enjoying fabulous food, then the Black Horse is highly recommended.

Returned a couple of weeks back from yet another fantastic weekend away at the Black Horse. All of the staff are so welcoming from the second you walk in, to the second of leaving. They will bend over backwards to ensure your stay is perfect. The food is outstanding ( especially the black pudding at breakfast ), absolutely fantastic- we’ve never yet had a dissatisfied meal. The overall quality is outstanding. We can’t wait till our next visit in December.

We really needed a little break after nonths of health problems. I t only one night ( shame!) but it was so good. We were so well looked after - the room was very good and individual. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. The evening meal was really tasty and well cooked. We loved the choice for breakfast -Eggs Benedict was delicious.Extra coffee was readily given.So, it was a short stay but so enjoyable. We have returned feeling as if we've had a great holiday.

Wow!! Just Wow! These rooms are the best we have stayed in! Took my mum for her 70th birthday and was thrilled with the accommodation. Food was excellent and the owners son was working there and was the perfect host! When we checked in the lady & gent did give the impression we were imposing on them but maybe they were just busy?? Reception service didn’t match the immaculate accommodation but we all have bad days right?

This is a great village pub, restaurant, and hotel. The bar is lively, the food was excellent and the room was luxurious. We will definitely stay here again. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We were welcomed and taken to our room without delay. The approach to the bedroom was a bit tired but our room was lovely. Service in the bar was very efficient and our food was served in a timely manner. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choices.

This is the perfect village inn with very well eqipped rooms and dog friendly. It makes the perfect stop over for us when we go to Scotland, or racing in Yorkshire. The food is excellent, great choice and quality as is the excellent wine list, beer selection and gins. The staff are universally excellent. We stayed in the Denman room in the Courtyard Cottage. Beautifully decorated and every amenity and comfy bed. Plenty of room for our dog's bed and a short walk to the village green for execise and bins available. The restaurant is excellent too, but the bar shaves it on atmosphere. Breakfasts fantastic. Will be back again in October.
