Very Good Experience.
The pleasant experience I had at the Bull Inn was just what I was looking for. The staff were all overly welcoming and kind. The building being hundreds of years old was still in very good condition. My room was laid out well, bed was comfortable, and I had great water pressure along with plenty of hot water. The restaurant was absolutely excellent with some very good choices. Not one complaint and I'll hope to make it back someday.
