Nothing! The only negative was not the pub, rather the lazy centralised accommodation booking services who are too idle to remove negative reviews when a property changes hands. This doesn't help new owners turn a property round.... and certainly doesn't help prospective customers make an informed choice.

Thoroughly pleasant country pub, friendly, welcoming and comfortable. Good value accommodation and food. Pleasant room and excellent shower.

There was nothing not to like it was lovely warm and welcoming .

We got back today from our stay to go to a family party and from the moment we arrived to the minute we left we had a lovely welcoming visit. Nothing was too much trouble they were lovely and welcoming and honestly could not do enough for there guests including our children we had with us . We will definitely be coming back here this is now our stop for when we visit

Only minor comments: the floor length thermal curtains keep out the light but hanging in front of the radiator trap the heat behind so it's chilly in cold weather at night with them closed. Windowsill length ones are better. Some blinds or nets might also improve privacy in the day in these ground floor rooms too. Some people will love the church clock bell that never misses the top of hour 24/7, but others won't... sometimes felt a bit like Quasimodo - "the bells, the bells!!"

A very pleasant stay. Comfortable room, free adjacent parking and lovely food in the evening and for breakfast from very pleasant staff who are clearly experienced hoteliers.

Nothing to not like!

Lovely rural location. The rooms were separate from the pub, a purpose built room and en-suite, ground floor - own porch and seating area outside. Lovely hosts- friendly, breakfasts & evening meals delicious. Slightly more expensive meals than some pubs but definitely worth it . Breakfast cooked to order, advised night before approx time we wanted to eat - didn’t wait long and cooked breakfast was served. Pub was a lovely local , people very friendly. We’d definitely stay again.

The hosts were excellent, as was the room. Very comfortable and with tea and coffee making and toiletries. Food in the restaurant was also excellent and cooked by the wife of the host. Best Sticky Toffee pudding ever!! We were made to feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend it to others.

The Bull has been transformed by Leo and his wife. They have made this pub very welcoming and their background in the hotel industry really shows. Comfortable surroundings, good food and beer. Definitely recommended

There is nothing we didn't like - everything was great and would stay again

We booked to stay here, just the day before, on our way back from our NE England and York Trip. We wanted to stay flexible as we were visiting places along the way. We were not disappointed - We were greeted with a very warm welcome and the Husband and Wife team who recently took over this establishment couldn't have made our stay any better. The room was very comfortable with crisp fresh linen and fluffy towels, plenty of room, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits in room and everything we needed for a good nights sleep. The rooms were in a lovely courtyard at the back of the main pub with a covered entrance leading directly to the restaurant and bar area for breakfast and evening meal which we thoroughly enjoyed. We heard some lovely stories of the local area and how they came to take over the pub and accommodation after retiring up this way. They both had the experience and the local community are very supportive of them both too. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Bull for its location to visit the neighbouring area and countryside which is beautiful.

The beds weren't very comfortable. Could maybe do with a mattress topper?

I loved how the rooms were separate from the pub. I thought they were really cute and quaint. There was no noise which is not something you'd expect staying at a pub. The staff where really friendly. The rooms were warm. The showers temps were easy to control with great water pressure. Super dog friendly. Really accommodating place. Breakfast was included and it was gorgeous infact all the food was really tasty. The Landlord went out of his way to ensure we were welcomed including the dog also ensuring we had plenty of coffee and milk for our rooms.
