Lovely place with good food

Lovely place. Warm welcome and good food. We stayed in one of the courtyard rooms. Lovely bedding and comfortable bed. Wet room was spacious however let down a little with mould around the bottom tile areas. Saying that a very comfortable stay and we would return.

Fantastic staff. Great room with decor. Very comfortable bed. Only let down by a very dirty, previously used toilet brush. Didn't get to try their food from their main menu as my partner was being very fussy and wanted pie and mash or sausages and mash and it wasn't an option on menu, but the breakfast was delicious.

I absolutely love the gardens and the surrounding village is charming. Really lovely to feel like you are in a quiet secluded spot that is surprisingly close to main routes and Bury St Edmunds. Woolpit is lovely and The Bull Inn was great.

Not close to the AF bases

Handy spot, little out of the way. There's another Bull Inn within the borough of Bury St Edmunds close to the air force bases that I thought I was booking, so beware if you're visiting military family.

We stayed 2 nights at the Bull Inn as a base for our visit to the nearby area. We slept there and had breakfast but no other meals (we arrived late one evening, were out all day until late the next day and left after breakfast the following day. Service throughout was friendly and polite; the room (one of several in an annex in the garden) was clean, fresh and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The gardens around the pub were beautifully maintained and parking was easy. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we were going to be in the area.

A star find

The Bull In was a very nice place to stay. Staff friendly, great cooked breakfast. Room very clean and welcoming. Only slight thing was probably my fault, but I could not see any signage for where to book in, so went to the Bar which was very busy, but got sorted in the end. Happy days

Had excellent stay in The Bull at Woolpit. Great selection of breakfast options, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, full english small and large, toast, coffee and tea. The service was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. Comfortable room with view over Woolpit roofs and garden. Evening meal was excellent value for money and superbly cooked. We ate in the restaurant every evening. The owners and the staff work extremely well together. We will definitely be returning soon.

Great location.

Very helpful staff and although the room was small it was clean and comfortable.air conditioning would have been a plus as it was a very warm summers night ,a small fan was in the room but noisy. Breakfast in the morning was excellent and served by a friendly helpful gentleman.
