We stayed here with family whilst visiting Alton Towers - we had two rooms: 1 inside the pub itself and another in an attached building that used to be a shop. The rooms were okay although the shower in one of the rooms was incredibly small and the bathroom door in the other room wouldn't shut at all! The entrance... More

15th October 2011: The Bull's Head Inn is a decent bed and breakfast where the breakfast was much more comforting than the bedrooms themselves. I was staying with 2 friends and my partner for one evening as we could not afford to stay on Resort at Alton Towers and a local B&B seemed more frugal with our money. The rooms... More

We arrived at the pub after a long day at Alton Towers. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our room which as ok but basic. It was very cold and there was no heating on so I requested this at the bar. They did not seem too keen on turning it on and suggested I use a heater that... More

Although the location is great and the staff are very friendly, the meal experience was disappointing. Our table was booked for 8.30 pm which I know is not early but neither is that late as well to have run out of nearly everything. No olives and bread for starters. I wanted Lamb no Lamb asked for filet steak no filet... More

So we decided to take a trip down into Alton and came across this pub. She had the... More

My boyfriend and I planned to stay at the Bulls Head Inn the night before we went to Alton Towers as we wanted a good nights rest before a long day in the park. We SHOULD NOT have stayed here. The rooms are tiny and there is no door between the bedroom and the bathroom. The birds that the neighbours... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights as I wanted to sample a few bike rides in the Peak District with my son. We stayed in the annex which used to be the shop next door, and it was fine. The pub is clearly the place to meet anyone and everyone, and it was very friendly in there. We... More

We were greeted by a huge welcome on Easter Sunday evening, and the friendly tone remained at the heart of this gem, right until we left the following morning. We were taken up to our room by one of the staff, which looked to have been fairly recently refurnished and redecorated. The room was warm and had everything we could... More

We stayed for just one night on a return visit after a memorable stay 4 years ago and were made welcome again straightaway. Our room was cold on arrival but this was sorted out quickly. We had dinner in the lovely restaurant and we were definitely not disappointed, food was perfectly cooked, well presented and good value for money. Good... More
