Really enjoyed the ambience at the Pied Bull and the staff were all welcoming, helpful & friendly. Our room was comfortable though the bed was a bit creaky. That said I slept well in it! The hotel was quiet & comfortable with a great selection of drinks at the bar and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. We enjoyed it so much we’re returning in December. Thank you to the staff & hotel for being the perfect hosts for the visit to a wonderful city.

Superior room booked wasn’t value for money - due to a poor, unsupportive bed and insufficient bathroom towels for two guests in the room. Both were addressed by housekeeping and management when raised and alternative rooms for the booking were found.
