I had an incredible stay at The Blind Bull. It’s one of those rare places that feels truly quiet and serene the moment you arrive. The surroundings are beautiful, the atmosphere is calm, and it’s the perfect spot to unwind. The food was absolutely outstanding — fresh, thoughtful, and genuinely some of the best I’ve had on this trip. The service was just as impressive: warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely without ever feeling overbearing. I left feeling rested and really well looked after. I’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.

The room was nice however I had booked the Tamworth with a bath and was told that the room had already been booked weeks ago. We only had a shower which was disappointing

The Blind Bull, Little Hucklow

The room we stayed in at the back of the pub called The Old Barn was amazing. So clean, eco friendly and spacious. We did think the top floor overlooking the lounge area could be utilised better as there was just a massive dining table in there. The staff and dining in the pub was exceptional.
