My partner and I came here for our 4 year anniversary with our Westie, Stanley. Overall, we cannot fault the place! The room we had was lovely and spacious, the food was beautiful and the staff were all extremely accommodating and helpful, especially to our Stanley. Stanley has thoroughly enjoyed his stay and has been spoilt rotten by the staff! We cannot thank you all enough for how welcome and comfortable you made us feel! We've already rebooked for my birthday in December 😊

Genuinely lovely stay.

Our stay was better than I expected. The staff were really great and our room was nice. The pub itself was a great place to relax and our evening meal and breakfast was delicious. Wish we could have stayed more than one night as the village too looked like a lovely place to explore. I will definitely stay again if the occasion arises to be in that are as this time we were attending Santapod raceway and the Bull was a great base for us as a family with a 4 year old.

Lovely Christmas Stay

Actually, it wasn’t me who stayed, I’d booked for my daughter and husband while visiting for Christmas, but they were very happy with their stay, which was a relief as I’d booked it for them! They also said the breakfast was great.

Saturday night away

Stayed at the Bull pub We’ve stayed there before, room was at the front of the pub with no road noise at all. Room was spacious comfortable and really clean, nice big shower and very private. Considering the restaurant/pub was below us there was no noise. Would definitely recommend.

Another enjoyable stay

I have stayed here before and will stay again. The hotel is just lovely and quirky in a good way. The staff are always so polite and helpful. The room and the bed are so comfortable which is another reason why I return to the Bull. The restaurant is very good providing well cooked food. It's also a pleasant place to be too, with lots of natural light. Definitely will be staying in again.
