This hotel is staffed by pleasant and very helpful people who try to make you feel welcome. I especially appreciated the phone call about something I thought I'd left behind. The evening dinner was sensational. The venison and hare dish was exceptional and the chocolate tart with orange icecream was also scrumptious. As two single lady travellers, however, we found...

Arrived on 28th April for a four night stay and certainly weren't disappointed. The bedroom was comfortable and warm, if not a bit small, but we were made aware of this when we booked. It had a bath which I prefer to a shower. The only negative comment on the room was the fact that the window could not be... More

We stayed two nights this week. The hotel is lovely and the food is superb! Breakfast was very good with a choice of four cooked meals plus an excellent buffet. We had the full English breakfast one day and scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on a home made brioche the next! Dinner both nights was wonderful, beautifully cooked, everything (including... More

Our superior room was large and characterful but the bed was not very comfortable and as we overlooked the road there was a fair amount of traffice noise. Our friend stayed in a single room at the rear of the hotel, which was a bit pokey and not very stylish! Breakfast was very average despite their AA award and the... More

Not at all bad, but also not as good as I was expecting based on the Tripadvisor ratings. But I notice now that several of the recent reviews are of the restaurant and not of the accommodation. I had the one single room, at the very far end of the long corridor to the back of the hotel. The room... More

We returned to The Bull having invited friends to join us for Sunday lunch. It was good to find the standard of food we enjoyed on our previous visits was just as high. Sunday lunch is charged on a 'per course' basis which is a great idea. However, on this occasion we were charged for four persons having 3 courses... More

An enjoyable meal - the scallop starter was particularly good. For mains we had the guinea fowl, veal, bream, and fish and chips. No one could complain with the food however I guess from the reviews and photos the restaurant had in its brochure, we had high expectations the food slightly more haute cuisine. The lady in charge who I... More

An interesting lunch that was rescued by the lovely food. The ambience is very grown up and the décor a little dated. I can imagine 50yrs ago it was ok but not now and didn't reflect the food. We were not allowed time to settle and the waiter was asking about drinks even before I sat down. Whilst we were... More
