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.

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.

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.

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.

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
