We had a lovely stay at The Bull. The history of the building and the quirky slopes and design features all added to the charm. The beds were super comfortable and the room very clean and well decorated. only downside was the limited parking which we knew about and the noise from people in the pub below, but you would expect this staying above a pub:)

A wonderful welcome and our room was lovely. The dining area was busy with both residents and local people. The menu offered a good variety and food arrived very hot and well presented. We wouldn’t hesitate to return but would advise that the age of the building means that stairs are very steep and the floors are uneven.
