The Bull Hotel

The Bull Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We recently stayed in the Bull hotel and opted for a delux room. WE are so glad we did as the room was wonderful. very impressed, The stairs to the upper floors may be a challenge for the less mobile but I was told there a few rooms on the ground floor, one of which is deluxe. The hotel is convenient for the main shopping area and has a vety useful parking area to the rear of the hotel. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. A good breakfast and evening meal. The outside seating looked good too. A great place to stay in a lovely town."

"Lovely clean large room. Great tv with a superb picture. Plenty of tea / coffee and biscuits welcome tray. We were surprised how quiet our sleep was, the pub below was busy but no sound from it. The decoration of the whole venue is incredible with so much to look at. There is a lot of car spaces but the area is very busy so it’s a bit of a search to find one."
