The Bull Hotel

The staff provide friendly, excellent service. The location is ideal, offering easy access to amenities. Guests praise the comfortable, spacious rooms and the excellent, varied breakfast options.

We stayed in the cock and bull suite. It wasn’t a suite had a roll top bath that took forever to fill. Not enough towels and no shampoo. Not worth the money I paid for it. Shower was cheap just a riser rail not nearly enough powerful. Very basic room but the worst thing was the noise from outside which is the pub it’s attached to, which doesn’t stop until 2 am on a Saturday night. My advice stay somewhere else . The cock hotel looked nice a few doors down!

The refurbished rooms are lovely and the bed large and extremely comfy. The room we had looked onto the pub owned by the hotel & so noisy customers outside meant sleep came when they went home. Breakfast is catered by the cafe below the rooms which is not part of the hotel and I found the menu extremely poor and didn’t really like any of the options. No cooked full English or traditional options - just a choice of 4 random options such as scrambled egg or beans on toast, pancakes with lemon and sugar, melted cheese bagel with gherkins & another option which I can’t remember. Orange juice had 3 cubes of ice in it to make the glass look fuller, so had to drink it quickly before it was watered down by the melting ice. If you wanted anything from the cafes breakfast menu and not hotel guest fixed menu then you had to pay for it in full and cannot mix and add items from cafe menu to fixed menu. It makes you think the cafe does not want to cater for hotel guests. I would advise not booking a room with breakfast as it’s a waste of money - better off finding a ‘Spoons for that. The Hotel itself though is lovely, just a shame about the breakfast.
