The Bull Inn

Everything. The Bull is a beautiful hotel in a central but quiet location. The bed was comfortable, the shower amazing and the towels fit around a normal human body, not the tiny things you find in lesser hotels. Sarah has really thought about the little touches, the homemade shortbread biscuits in the room, the lovely locally made body care products in the bathroom and even the decor, sympathetically in keeping with the age of the building- absolutely stunning wallpaper on the stairs and in the dining room and exposed original wood in the bar. Staff were friendly and made sure to go out of their way for us on each interaction. Special mention to Jake who was the calmest, most accommodating person in hospitality that we have ever met, especially when there was a tiny delay in the parking allocation - he is a treasure. And the gentleman with glasses who always seemed to be there, no matter the time of day, worked extremely hard and was brilliant at anticipating what we needed. Food at the Bull was a total knockout. We had breakfast included and what a treat that was! No soggy bacon or snotty eggs here! Everything is sourced locally and that is apparent in what is delivered. The eggs Benedict was exceptional. We decided to have dinner at the Bull on our last night and we were so glad we did - delicious wood pigeon with beetroot puree, perfectly cooked venison fillet with a gorgeous, tiny pulled venison hotpot which was utterly magical, and hearty desserts - the stout toffee sauce on the sticky toffee pudding is naughty! The mixologist made me tasty cocktails with real effort and panache - his espresso martini is the best I’ve ever had. Lastly, the cleaning staff. Lovely ladies who kept our room immaculate and tidied it up for us ready to climb into crisp white sheets at night.

Not one thing.

We were situated at the front of the building (room 7) and it was noisy from passers by at night coming out if the pubs/bars
