Great place to stay

Had a fantastic stay, owners and staff are very welcoming, food was good quality, rooms are very well finished and have everything you need. I would recommend stopping here to everyone planning a trip to the area. They also now have EV charging available. Thanks to all for a fantastic stay.

Fab local just round corner.

We had a really great night , food was lovely and service was excellent! Front of house service was great too! Had cheese pie and chicken skewer, really tasty food. Couple of pints in the sun finished a hectic week in a relaxed, friendly pub. We will be back - two frazzled (but now relaxed) head teachers!

Great stay with great service

Turned up with a party of 16, had to add a plus one and was well accommodated, really good food and service, mine didn't arrive as expected but the team put it right straight away, always difficult with a large party of people, but the food came almost simultaneously for everyone which was unexpected, food was excellent from that point, the place has a lovely historic feel to it as several of our party had been here before over the last couple of decades, would definitely return myself.

What more can one say!

The hotels host meets you with a warm greeting. I stayed at this hotel on two occasions the last one Wednesday night this week. The rooms are tastefully decorated and very comfortable. coffee and tea service in the room is actually serviced with real milk. There are a great selection of beers both real ales and lagers not forgetting cider. The menu has a good choice to choose from ( Steak and Ale pie to die for).

Really nice stay

The staff could not have been more helpful and even when we were asking for things out of the norm all we ever heard was ‘of course you can’ food was as expected, although the chef might need a slight review on streak cooking but on the whole out party enjoyed the food. The breakfast service was equally as efficient and ingredients tasty and importantly nice and hot. Would definitely consider staying here again if in the area.

Sunday lunch with the family.

Had the roast beef dinner which was delicious and plentiful, the roast chicken is a chicken breast, cooked to perfection, for dessert we opted for the toffee apple crumble and custard, again delicious, compliments to the chef, we had a table facing the window with lovely views far and beyond, accommodating and lovely staff, deff worth a visit

Great food, decent karaoke

In the day you can get decent food at a great price - the Sunday lunches are particularly great. At night it turns in to a banging venue absolutely jam packed with fertile scrat bags. Saturday evening karaoke is not to be missed (although some of the singers are of variable quality) Drinks are reasonably priced as well - what’s not to like?

Good Views, Friendly Staff & Place

Stopped in one of their ground floor rooms, WiFi was good which was needed & the view from the room was lovely. Anthony & All the Staff were helpful and a made my stay more than comfortable. The Breakfast was (for me) spot on every morning and a great way to start the day with a smile from the Staff

Good honest food

My wife and I went there for our evening meal (Tea, Dinner, supper, whatever you call it) and the food was superb. The steak and kidney pudding (locally made) was the best I've eaten and my wife had fish. Beautifully served and delicious. To cap it all, really nice friendly staff too.

Fabulous Hosts!

The Room we stayed in at the Bull was very clean and spacious, lots of hot water for a bath etc. TV good, bed comfy. The breakfast on Sunday morning was massive, everything you would want from cereal, FULL English, large pot of tea or coffee, toast, jams etc. presented beautifully at the time we requested 9.0 am, forgot to mention Saturday night meal again was excellent, we eat there regular through out the season.

Great village pub.

I’d heard very good things about the new management.The service was friendly, the food was absolutely brilliant. Good wholesome pub food. I had the steak pie which was lovely, with a lovely rich gravy. All plates cleared. We will definitely return, I think if this is the standard, the other pubs in the area should be worried. Thanks again. We will definitely return.

Beautiful and breathtaking!

I went in January for a wedding fair, this was the first venue we went to visit and I didn’t expect to book it there and then but the whole experience was just amazing, the hotel was absolutely perfect, really modern and very romantic and beautiful. We went off for lunch and viewed a few rooms and the spa and cannot wait to use this ASAP! We booked our wedding venue there and then, the staff were so friendly and helpful particularly for me as I am disabled and wheelchair bound.
