Alright stay, mould in bathroom, dimly lit

Overall it was alright for an overnight stay. There were some mould on the bathroom tiles on the floor and on the wall. Some of the lights were not working so the room was dimly lit.

My room was very comfortable and clean. The food was as good as ever with a good choice of meals. The staff were professional and attentive at all times. The cost of the room and food reflected the quality of provision and service there. I would definitely stay at The Bull Inn again.

Cosy

Nice very old coaching Inn. 500 years old. Be careful if you stay upstairs as stairs are very rickety. Lovely restaurant. Really helpful friendly staff throughout.

Won’t stay again
Larry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Bull Inn is a characterful property, very well placed for visits to Snetterton racing circuit and this was the purpose of our visit. We found the Inn very comfortable, clean and the restaurant was very good for dinner and breakfast. Parking is free, plentiful and immediately outside the courtyard rooms. I’d be very happy to return to The Bull Inn if I’m in the area again.

Best food for miles

I’ll start by saying all the buildings are old so if you are looking for a comfortable place that’s close to the bases this is great. Nigel and his staff are top notch. Food is incredible and new refurbishments in the bar make it a great place to sit and relax.
