Nestled in the village of Kirkby Stephen, the Black Bull is a traditional family friendly inn at the heart of the local community. We welcome locals and fleeting visitors alike who all take advantage of having both the Lake District and North Pennines right on our doorstep.
Providing a great range of drinks to inspire the taste buds and excellent pubs classics to indulge any craving. As well as 9 comfortable rooms for a place to rest your head, we are the perfect respite no matter if it’s a few days, or just a few hours, the Black Bull is the place to be.
