Pleasant stay

The welcome and atmosphere is consistently good and the food - evening dinner and breakfast - excellent. The place is a little tired and I could not get the shower to provide constant water at the right temperature, but apart from that another very comfortable and pleasant stay.

A small comfortable Inn in a very pretty and quiet part of middle England. The rooms were warm and comfortable and the bathrooms, were well equipped, despite their small size, Bulls head is an old building and Becky and her team have done a great job making it welcoming. I will definaitely return... The food was fantastic dinner and breakfast.
