The room was generally fine but the bathroom was tired with mould around the shower tray, the shower head not fitted properly and no external ventilation. Just needs some renewal and investment. Enjoyed our stay but with a minor effort, it could have been so much better.

The only thing that spoilt my 5 night stay was the chair in the rooms that I have used over a period of time at the Bull, they are so uncomfortable. They are not ideal for sitting on for a short / long period during an evening spent in your room watching TV. A bucket type chair would be better..

Lovely building , staff excellent room clean , Bathroom was awful toilet seat broken ie Not attached properly and slid on sideways , The shower hose attached to fitting was broken so water spouted out from there . It was obvious that the staff had tried to clean best possible, but it was worn out and in need of replacing. Toilet was fitted between shower cubicle and the wall it was to narrow for me to sit on , my shoulders were wider than the gap If the bathrooms were better the trip would have been excellent rather than just ok .

Neglected hotel

I truly don't like giving poor reviews, but quite honestly this hotel is seemingly beyond neglected. Mould on the walls, stained carpets, pillow cases didn't look clean, stains on the ironing board, walls peeling, the bed was very uncomfortable, noise from the pub till late... i could go on. This is just a review of the hotel, not the pub it is linked to.

Basic

Ok. Good basic room for price. Very clean. Bathroom not good - seat on loo broken, and squashed in a corner, not enough space and shower rail bowed to make it fit. Very comfy and clean beds though, and excellent breakfast!

It’s Bulls..t. Do not stay here. Worth £20

Old run down pub that needs a lot of TLC. first impressions was to be asked Ridley if I wanted to check in. Then they carried on moaning about other workers. Called me on the day to let me know that had a function on. Failed to say it was directly below room. Dirty bathroom and food was very poor standard. Never going back.

Had to wait well over 5 mins for the person on reception to complete something else on their systems, before she was able to deal with me. There was no ability to get any food at 21.30, including snacks from the bar as awaiting next delivery.

Not sure where to start in the bathroom the fan doesn’t turn off so was on all night the toilet flush was not working even if you finally did get it to go the sound from the pipe work was terrible. The carpet felt like you're feet was sticking to it and the place had a funny smell everywhere you went.

Not a great stY

I booked 4 rooms for my husband and 3 others. On line the rooms looked ok for the cost. However my husbands bathroom was pretty naff and no one had hot water in the morning for a Shower. When they advised this upon check out the lady just said there wasn’t any yesterday either 😳. Not Really what you want to hear …a partial refund would probably have helped redeem the hotel.
