What Oona Suhonen likes about The Black Bull:
Several in a group stayed at The Back Bull visiting a friend now residing in Lauder. A fantastic hotel where the accommodation, food and hospitality from the staff was beyond reproach. Mandy and Allan who own the hotel were fantastic hosts. Looking forward to next stay and would strongly recommend the hotel to anybody. I have no prior knowledge of the hotel and did not know any staff or the owners before visiting so... View all feedback.
