The Bull and Swan

Had a lovely stay here and would recommend. It’s a very old building and as quirky and uneven as any old building is. The rooms are an amazing size, warm and comfy. The breakfast is fab! A basket of pastries, fruit and yogurt and a menu of hot food. Highly recommend the full bull and the avocado on toast.

How do you give 6*? After a poor stay at the Lincoln Hotel, this was bliss. LOVELY and spacious twin room, bathroom with bath AND shower, Good TV, fan, espresso machine, lovely biscuits and music playing on the radio when we arrived, good linen and excellent pillows. Do you gather I was impressed? Only minor drawback was slightly steep stairs, but if an 83 year old can make them, so can you! Parking AND EV charging at sister hotel 300 yards away. excellent evening meal (did not have breakfast as had to leave early). Really great manager, to be complimented. Lovely place for a break.

We went as two families meeting up for fun stay . We were really looking forward to meet up . The hotel is beautiful. It’s old and filled with history. It’s quirky and unique. We had lovely large room for 3 of us . My husband, my 13 year old daughter and myself. As did our friends . The rooms are close to main road so as expected there was noise . As list building I knew they could not do anything to change this. The furnishings in bedroom, bathroom and whole hotel was outstanding . The staff were very helpful and friendly . The only problem was the beds . We had booked family room and was expecting bed for my 13 yr old . There was a camp bed at end of large double bed . I can only describe it as more of a sun lounger with very thin cover to lay on made up . My 13 year old had very little sleep as it was very uncomfortable. As adults it was not stable or strong enough for one of us to safely sleep on . My daughter fell out of it . Because she was unable to sleep had impact on us all. I would advise in future family rooms should have bed in them as stated .This was not a bed by any stretch or imagination . Could easily be resolved by a simple mattress on wheels under the large bed could be pull out for use and would be safer and more comfortable. We would return but as a couple . We loved the ambiance and friendliness. Such a shame re beds in family rooms .
