Great staff, lovely clean room but nowhere in bathroom to put anything down (room 6). Need to box in pipe behind toilet so at least that could act as a small shelf for toiletries. Be aware if there is live entertainment that the rooms are noisy with vibrating music. We knew about this from previous reviews so were prepared. We had a beautiful Sunday lunch here and breakfast d’or the 3 days we stayed was hot and tasty.

The room was ok and the bed comfortable. The room is described as having a private bathroom, which is a cross the hall from bedroom. However the bathroom is 'tiny' Being 6'3" the toilet was almost impossible to use The shower toilet and sink rammed into a space approximately 1m by 1m. In reality this 'bathroom' was in usable thankfully we were only there for one night.

The staff was friendly and check in was easy. Information on where to park would help. Navigating the narrow streets looking for parking was a nightmare. There is parking about a half mile away costing about 12$ for the night.

Nice room with a large comfy double bed, overlooking Butchers Walk, with associated noise levels. With Monday being bin day (~7am), the Bull Inn put the empties of the week out at 6am, alarm clock no longer required. The private bathroom is across the corridor and suited for slender folk, not so much 20+ stone behemoths. Barring that, I slept well and the rate was competitive.

I should know better than to book a room at an inn because generally, the rooms are over a pub this one had music at night until 1115. But the worst thing was that the private bathroom was across a corridor. Not so good for nighttime visit. The bathroom also was tiny. Anyone smaller than me would not have been able to use the toilet or the shower the Wi-Fi was nonexistent overall a very unsatisfactory experience

The breakfast was freshly made and was presented nicely. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was nice and clean. The only small thing that let it down was that the bathroom door could do with a clean. I would return again, no problem. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the location was excellent.

Basic accommodation but certainly clean, comfortable and an excellent night’s sleep. Staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. Breakfasts are really good. And it’s brilliant just to be able to tumble into bed above the bar where you’ve been enjoying live music. Great value for money (and we are repeat visitors !)
