This hotel really fits in with the town it resides in, Bridport. It has some timeless qualities, and caters well for different generations. Popular it is.
Perfect crispy battered haddock and chips.
Such a charming old inn, with brilliant service and excellent hospitality. The pub was convenient and delicious, and the room was perfect for our family of three; loved the decor.
Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room with all facilities and very clean. Convenient parking to rear. It was a fleeting visit for work; wish I could have stayed longer! Good food!
Disappointing stay, both rooms not clean dust so thick could write in it. Room not cleaned entirely before arrival other peoples rubbish in bin and throw on bed had tissue stuck on it and tissues on the floor under desk. Tried to order avocado on toast as per menu not available on 2 days we were there. Inconsistent cooking one day spinach seasoned next day wet no seasoning running water into rest of food inedible. Breakfast items either over or under cooked on same plate. Poor quality ingredients. Generally hotel needs renovation doors all scratched on room marks on walls sold as renovated master room yet showing signs of needing repainting and holes in the carpet. Great shower and bathroom Good location with parking. Needs better check in area. Not value over priced for condition.
Amazing stay at this beautiful historic hotel in Bridport.
Tasty Sunday lunch , comfortable bedrooms, they love dogs and a hearty breakfast - top that with exemplary service from Suzanne - a real gem at this place 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
An attractive old coaching inn with a relaxed atmosphere. The bedroom was characterful and very comfortable. Unfortunately, the TV controller's battery was flat. It didn't bother us on this occasion, but it might another time.
Dinner was very good and well served. The wine list was a bit limited due to a change over to a new list, but an appropriate one was found. Breakfast was particularly good.
The property is on one of the main streets in the middle of Bridport - a nice market town with lots of quaint streets and interesting not-chain shops. The Bull is an old building. We stayed in a large room set in what was once a mews but now acts as an open air eating and drinking area. The room was large and comfortable - big king-sized bed and a large bathroom. We liked the room but the bathroom in particular was in need of some maintenance. Being on the ground floor, it could have done with some net curtains as we felt people passing by or in the courtyard could otherwise see into the room. Otherwise we had to keep the blinds and/or curtains drawn which made it feel quite dark and stuffy overnight. We also felt the cleaning staff could have been a bit more thorough: although they sorted the bed, they didn't always replaced used teabags etc. - and the vacuuming left a lot of areas with dust and bits. In general, it's a nice property but we felt that more attention needs to be paid to the details, especially given the price. We would definately go back if they sorted these out.
This beautiful coaching inn lived up to it's reputation for our three day break. Very friendly and helpful staff at all times together with lovely food. Would not hesitate to revisit. Mick & Jackie.
Very disappointing stay. Room was tiny - too small to even have a bedside table each side and no room for a chair. Small fan-light window only so little fresh air. Only available surface was over-cluttered (with kettle, coffee machine, cooling fan, tea tray) so nowhere to put anything and surface was not clean (coffee marks not wiped) and mugs not properly washed. One packaged item of toiletries partially used by previous occupant. Lighting too poor to read by.
Staff were in the main were unhelpful and indifferent. No where to sit for pre-dinner cocktail so had to be at dining table and encouraged to eat earlier than booked as table was needed. No apology for lengthy wait for breakfast next morning.
Towels and biscuits were good though!
