6/10 Good

Staff excellent and ample parking in a quiet location with beautiful trees surrounding the area. We stayed in a twin room which was compact (no room for hanging space) slightly chilly so the thick duvet was welcome. We ate in evening in the pub with a choice between small plates/starter, main and dessert on the menu …..ours was very good. There is a small kitchenette along the hall for hot drinks and for you to prepare yourself a breakfast, toast, cereal, yogurt etc. The cost through Hotels.com of £230+ we think was too high for this basic reservation and maybe should have investigated the accommodation further….totally our fault.

Great overnight stay. Welcoming staff and excellent food at fair prices. Would happily stay again. As a suggestion- Bedside lights would have been appreciated.

Extremely personable landlord, Craig. Room was prepared ready for us to check in early (off to a wedding after a long drive) and sandwiches provided on request which was very much appreciated. The room and bathroom were spacious and nicely decorated and the bed very comfortable. Little communal kitchen area provided everything needed for a late night snack and breakfast which was a nice touch. Heard from local friends at the wedding that the food is great too. Favourite beer on tap which sadly we had no time to sample. There will be a next time! Highly recommend.

We stayed at the Black Horse as we were going to a friends evening wedding reception in Nuthampstead which is about 3.5 miles away. This was one of the nearest places we could find to stay. Please don’t use Uber when you’re coming back from somewhere to the Black Horse because they are likely to cancel on you, use the local taxi company. The host was very nice. We had a lovely large luxury room called Shonks, comfy bed, lovely bathroom with a great shower. There is use of a shared kitchen in the morning and you can help yourself to things like coffee, toast and cereals. The only thing I would perhaps improve upon is I feel that the window in a kind of little hallway area when you come out the bathroom could have a curtain or net curtain on it. It was a lovely surprise to find that there were people setting up stalls the morning after we stayed and I actually bought some lovely handmade bags but I don’t know how much they wanted to see me coming out the shower in my towel. We would definitely stay again.

The Black Horse was gem in a nice country setting. Craig was a great host, plenty of walking trails around the area. Tuesday was steak night (compliments to the chef it was fantastically done!) An impromptu gathering of locals forming a shanty group was a fun and unique experience. Craig pours a good pint of Guinness which is a bonus! Room was spacious and tidy with my own private bathroom, kitchenet with continental breakfast. Craig was on hand if I needed anything! Would recommend and will be stopping again when in the area for work.

Beautiful bedroom very large and spacious, as was the en-suite shower room. The bed and bedding were excellent and I had a wonderful nights sleep. The water in the shower was hot and a good pressure. However the flush for the toilet was not working. I would also recommend the owners supply bedside lights as there were none and the main light switch was over by the door. A kettle and teabags/coffee were provided in the room but no milk or water. I would also recommend a fresh homemade loaf be available for breakfast rather than the brown sliced loaf in plastic. With a few small editions it could be excellent.

Lovely food in the evening. But the rooms had no TV, advertised as having them but not in rooms? This would help to improve the customers experience we feel.

Did a late booking for a business trip. Great service by staff who contacted me and explained the self check in process as I arrived in the late evening. Accommodated a late change I made and were very helpful. Beautifully renovated property with lots of parking, spacious room with good amenities and comfy bed and bedding. Spotlessly clean room and bathroom. Highly recommended for business or pleasure!!!

Beyond the exquisitely accommodating staff was a community that took us in and made us feel welcome. You would not believe the true tales of generosity so we won’t share them. Trust us that the people of the Black Horse and Brent Pelham will make you feel like a treasured guest. Our recommendation knows no bounds.

8/10 Very good

Lovely country pub, with beautifully decorated rooms. Staff were welcoming and food good value. The rooms could be imroved by having somewhere to put your clothes, even a chair or a hanger on a coat rack, but ours ended up on the floor. There was a hairdryer under the sink in the shared kitchen, but I would prefer one in the room. I would also prefer tea/coffee making facilities in the room, rather than walking down the corridor to make a drink in the shared kitchen. The continental breakfast was good, and was left in the shared kitchen, but a tray would have been useful to carry it back to the room. There are no TVs in the room, which is unusual. I would check they are serving food when you are staying. Its a great pub, and I would stay again.

Super welcoming staff - really made a difference. This is a great place to stay if you’re flying to/from Stansted as it’s a far pleasant experience than the airport hotels. It was so lovely that I’d book a weekend break there to explore the local area more.
