kitchen

The room was stone cold and the small convection heater made little or no impression on the room temperature. The same problem in the bathroom, the heater just wasn’t up to the task. I was in need of the extra blanket from the wardrobe but this was filthy.
The decor was tired - some decoration and cleaning were needed. Some of the sealant round the bath was cracked and dirty.
The hosts were friendly and the food was okay - nothing too fancy but big portions. Breakfast was excellent but an additional cost!

Rooms basic, cold and needed cleaning. Food OK

New owners, pleasant, good-willed people who have to recover from the negative reviews of the previous owners and are working hard on it. Cozy pub with good food. Easily accessible rooms on the ground floor with parking space in front of the door. Near Cambridgeshire. All this for a very reasonable price.

Pleasant pub.

The Black Horse is under new management.
The Landlady is so helpful and the rooms are comfortable.
The food is good 'pub grub' and the beers we drank were fine.
After chatting seems there are upgrade changes coming so we look forward to returning to clock the improvements.

Good place to stay and eat

 A choice of roast beef or Pork.
it was all nicely cooked and generous size portion of meat with plenty of gravy. 
It was hot and tasty, the separate bowl of cauliflower cheese was a nice touch!
Served drinks by warm and friendly lady behind bar.
would definately visit again when next in area!

Sunday Lunch

It appears the pub is currently under temporary management and the website and previous reviews are not completely representative of the current state.  The room we stayed in was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was stunning.  The bathroom was not great, the shower was, sorry, really bad.  It was like it hadn't been cleaned for years.  It should be ripped out and destroyed.  There is a minimal ale selection, Landlord (thats good), and the current food menu is also fairly simple.  We didn't eat at the Black Horse, except for breakfast, which was absolutely great.  We stayed for two days as planned but I'm afraid we won't be back.  The website should really be taken down as it creates a false impression of what to expect.

All is not as it seems from the website

Decided to stay here again after a great stay a few months ago whilst visiting our daughter. 
Last time the food and service was superb hence our return.
On arrival we found there were no breakfasts as it was Christmas week.
I appreciate that staff need holidays, but please dont advertise when you cant supply. No mention was made on Booking .com.
The room was comfortable.
But sadly we left after one night and we wont be returning.

Disappointing

Always made to feel welcome, good choice of well-kept beer, small but good menu.  Nice place to be whether for an informal business lunch or dropping by after a walk. Friends stayed in a room during a visit to the area and it was clean and comfortable.

Friendly village pub, good beer, food and accommodation

I'm a local, regular customer. Martin and Alice are doing a terrific job. The pub has a warm friendly atmosphere with great beer.
I'm especially looking forward to the next Open Mic night and New Years Eve! I have booked three rooms for friends for that night.

Warm, friendly and busy atmosphere with great beer.

We stayed at the pub with my wife’s sister and brother-in-law.The pub is within easy reach of Anglesea Abbey and a short journey into Cambridge by bus.The rooms were small but very clean and all with en suite.The four of us had dinner and breakfast at the pub.The portions are large especially the full English breakfast.I understand Alice and Martin have just taken over.They are a very friendly family.Good luck in all you do in the future.

Family get together

This popular village pub has been in the doldrums for ages. Undrinkable beer and zero clients. But the new landlady, Alice, has very quickly turned things around. There is now a warm welcome and decent ales. The pub often has two guest beers, Timothy Taylor and GhostShip. As it is a Charles Wells pub they also have to offer two Charles Wells beers, which are an acquired taste. Alice is now offering good food and plans to expand the menu. The pub has 7 rooms which are well used by tourists and business visitors. It is a popular alternative to staying in the much more expensive hotels in the centre of Cambridge. Swaffham Bulbeck has an hourly bus service into Cambridge and is only 15 minutes drive from the Newmarket Road 'park and ride' site. 
All in all, us villagers are delighted to see the pub once again being well run. May it long continue.
