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.
