The rooms were very clean and the bed was very very comfortable. Breakfast was served when we wanted it and not a set time. We also stayed for the Sunday Carvery which was... More

I stayed for one night and my first impressions were that the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room and bathroom were extremely clean. Crisp white fresly lundered bed linen and big fresh fluffy towels. For £55.00 per room per night you could not ask for more. Not much atmosphere in the pub as it was quiet and only... More

Our first impressions of the Bull were great. They could not have been more friendly or helpful when we arrived. The double room was nice, in that wobbly old English pub way, and there were some nice touches like the big fluffy towels. The only dampener was our dinner which was really pretty disappointing. Shame, really.

We stayed in this hotel for one night and it was terrible. It is under new management, and clearly not being managed very well at all. On walking into the bar, the area looked uncleaned, the carpets had clearly not been vacuumed in a few days. The pub had a halloween party and seemed more busy with that, then showing... More
