Breakfast was excellent,well cooked and staff very helpful.

Brian United Kingdom

Superb staff, they went out of their way to accommodate us, excellent breakfast, I can highly recommend and will be returning

S United Kingdom

Staff were brilliant - cheerful and helpful. Food was imaginative and well-presented. The room was small, but that was reflected in the price. The only downside is that the bathroom seriously needed updating. This would justify a price increase which should be beneficial to the owners who deserve to succeed. A lovely hotel in a great location.

Clare United Kingdom

The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The meals were delicious and very good value and the bedroom was very comfortable. We will definitely be coming back again

Steven United Kingdom

Very comfortable stay. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good choice at breakfast.

Alison United Kingdom

The Bull Inn is a freshly renovated historic hotel in the market place centre of town. The friendly staff were excellent despite a little understandable rustiness after the covid lockdown. Will be returning.

Alick United Kingdom

The staff are excellent and can’t do enough to help. The food is excellent too.

Jason United Kingdom

Great welcome on arrival, very attentive staff, great food. Nothing else to add

Peter United Kingdom

The owner welcomed me back like an old friend. This was my 3rd stay. I was in Room 14 which had a four poster bed.

Julian United Arab Emirates

Very friendly staff. Great room (No.1) which was really a suite. Close to shops, the station and a great restaurant called The Galley. We have stayed here before and will stay here again

  • Do you have any rooms for disabled guests.

    Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. We have two rooms which are at ground level, located off our car park in an annex. Unfortunately though, both rooms do have internal steps in the bathrooms so they are not disabled friendly. Kind regards, Sarah.
