Had a great stay. A real bargain for the time of year we went (school summer holidays). Family of 3 in the triple room, plenty of space, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was incredible. More incredible than I can explain in a review. We would love to stay again, maybe next summer!

Breakfast is super good. Nice location but the hotel is located right on the road. Something to note for guests who are sensitive to noise. The room is a good size and spacious. There's limited car parking space at the rear of the property. The proprietor is friendly and responsive. The staff are respectful.

Placed a booking here for 20/07/24 for one night and the hotel had booked us in for the following week instead of the date shown we payed £76 pounds upfront and the owners booked us in for the wrong date and the money was never refunded to us because of their mistake.

I didn't stay at the hotel, but, because of the history associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I came to eat there while I was visiting in the UK. An annex portion of the hotel was originally built as a chapel by LDS members. My ancestor was from northern Wales and perhaps attended there. The staff was very kind and accommodating, but also respectful to other diners who were already seated by the plaque outlining the history. The food was fabulous. We all enjoyed our meal thoroughly. The service was great. I'm grateful for the chance I had to visit the site. It was a bonus to get such a great meal with courteous and prompt service. Thank you to the Bull Hotel restaurant staff!

We went there with our daughter for lunch at 12.30pm. One bartender who was also the waiter! We didn't have to wait too long for our drinks and meals. The main course was really nice and large portions.There was a long delay after our main course and I had to go to the bar and ask for the dessert menus. We chose 3 different desserts which were on the menu but they didn't have any of these. So we paid the bill and went home! Disappointed.If the desserts we wanted had been available and service had been faster I would have given the Bull five stars. Next time I will ask what desserts they have available before I book!
