New owners since I stayed there last year ,but found them and staff to be equally as nice,friendly and helpful. Breakfast was spot on,but special mention to Chef's Steak,done to perfection and best quality ( locally sourced i believe) that I have had in a number of years. Would recommend without hesitation.

Warm Welcome
A friend and I stayed here for the Burghley Horse Trials, which was about a 30 minute drive away. The hosts Daena & Leo, who have been running The Bull Inn for the last few months were fantastic. They are both really friendly and accommodating. We wanted to be away to Burghley before breakfast on Saturday, so they very kindly gave us a box of fruit and pastries on Friday night to take with us. Room was clean and comfortable, food in the pub restaurant was nice as was the cooked breakfast. Food, beer and room prices were good value. Locals were really friendly and welcoming too. We were really happy with our stay and will definitely stay here again when we are next in the area.

A lovely place which you really need to visit
We stayed for 2 nights, and what a lovely 2 nights it was. The owners have recently taken over with the help of the community, and the pub had only been open 12 days. They've had to put alot of time and effort to get the pub and accommodation back to where it needed to be, and they have done an amazing job!!! Everyone, especially the landlord and his wife, were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much for them and they were so welcoming. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable, the pub was very inviting with a good variation of beers/ciders/wines and non-alcoholic drinks available and the menu looked amazing, there is also an amazing beer garden with plenty of parking available. Unfortunately we didn't get chance to sample the evening menu due to other commitments, but we will certainly be back after having the breakfast, and also as they source all their food locally. The team are doing an excellent job and I would recommend staying or just visiting this lovely pub to anyone. 10 out of 10 from me, and I've stayed in quite a few places with work.

A great place to stay!
What a brilliant little find! The location is in a pretty village, and the owner is really friendly and helpful. He was on hand to greet us, and cooked us a lovely meal in the pub restaurant. Our room was spacious but warm, as was the en-suite wet room. It was lovely and quiet too. Overall a great place to stay, and one we'd happily return to.
