Excellent value for money, ideal central location and friendly staff. On the downside, it’s starting to look a little bit tired in places but I think this reflects in the price.

Maria

Liked: Cleanliness
The rooms were small, clean and adequate. They were cleaned each day. The inn is centrally located and is a historic building in an old mews setting and a lively pub in the evening. The staff were friendly and helpful. If you want peace and quiet perhaps not the place for you. As mentioned it is centrally located so there is the noise from the fairly busy street and live music from the inn itself though it does end at 11pm on the dot. Summary: Value for money in a central position.

The Bull Inn was in a great location and the room was nice. You need to be aware that there is loud live music on Saturday evening, which makes the room very noise.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Too many steep stairs to bedroom. Which was also at the front of property and therefore very noisy when pub was open and when customers leaving at closing time. Also, deliveries very early (around 6am) and very noisy. On the plus side, good staff nice breakfast
