Bull Inn

My whole stay at the bull inn was enjoyable, staff were helpful and friendly. Food at dinner and breakfast was good. The room I was in was cozy and comfortable.

The room was a little small, but was fine for just one person.

The room was nicely decorated with a good sized bath room ,the hotel a d bar was excellent the restaurant had a good selection of food and the location was beautiful 😍

The breakfast staff were a little bit grumpy

It was convenient for where we were going that evening, and it looked very quaint and picturesque. They are plenty of toiletries and towels-including face cloths which was lovely and the Price slippers were a nice touch.

The room was far too hot even after the radiator had been turned off at 4:30 when we arrived, it was uncomfortable for the whole evening despite a window being open wide. Because of the sloping floors and the strange carpet pattern it felt most precarious walking in the room and the bed seem to be sloping as well! The bathroom was tiny and had no Window, the sink was barely functional and the shower dripped and leaked constantly. The bed was too high so when I sat on the edge of it, my feet didn’t touch the floor and the Mattress seemed to want to throw us out of bed.! The coffee machine is useless. Three of us tried to operate it and we all failed. There was no in instant coffee fortunately they had bought my own along. Parking was limited so we were invited to use the church only to be blocked in the next day and told by the people at the church that the hotel had no right to be allowing people in there.

History and ambiance

It was noisy we could hear voices chatting outside or from the bar below until 23:30 that prevented us from getting off to sleep.

The style of the property and location is perfect.

The rooms are full of character and cosy.

Handy for where we wanted to be the next day. Nice old pub. Food was nice even though they substituted the fancy veg for plain old Savoy Cabbage (and when we pointed it out the waitress seemed not to respond). Would have been nice to explain the substitution beforehand. Our room was quite small so it was single carriageway with passing places around the bed. And the floor had an ideosyncratic slope from the bed to the showerroom.

Our room was right above the bar so we could hear every conversation within it. I mean every! We had dinner, but wanted to return to our room instead of hanging around in the bar, but the noise coming through the floor was so loud we needed to have our TV on a high volume just to hear it. Fortunately it died down just after 11. Also when we came to leave we were trapped in the car park by a beer delivery for around 10-15 minutes. It was a good job we were not in a hurry.

The old charm and style

No music at breakfast

Small room but really lovely - the bar feels really friendly with lovely open fire
