I would love to give this a "good" rating as many aspects of The Bull Hotel are to be praised. The sheer age of this former coaching inn, located in the beautiful village of Fairford, must mean that the up-keep of the interior and exterior of the building is a constant and costly challenge. The Bull is located in the... More

Hotel was full of charm. Yes it is old, after all it was a coaching inn. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfy. Lots of wonderful countryside for walking. The food was excellent. We booked a two night stay and ate there both nights. The staff was very friendly and helpfull, especially Jamie.

We were fortunate to be treated to a stay at this hotel for a 25th aniversary present from some very good friends. Lovely old pub/hotel with loads of character. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, food was very good. Our room was en suite perfectly suitable for a weekend away. We visited nearby Bourton on the Water a really pretty... More

We bought this on an ebay deal last May 2012, but only got round to booking it in December, for a stay in April 2013! We discovered that the previous owners had retired but the new owners to their credit agreed to honour the deal and in view of the timescales we were impressed. However, when we arrived we discovered... More

Various members of my family have been visiting this hotel since 1987 and have always been pleased with most aspects from service to rooms and food. On the 5th April we stayed there again and discovered that it is a shadow of it.s former self. I understand that it has changed owners and this has not been a success, to... More

Great old hotel with features that confirm its age . Room was clean and bed soft and comfortable. Heater in room should you need it. Fishing an extra but fantastic stretch owned by the hotel. Food was very good and home made but pricey.

Stayed here one weekend whilst fishing. Lovely building, location, bar and restaurant. Like so many of these old Inns a bit faded around the edges. Certainly not a luxury hotel, but if you don't mind a bit of character then it is a great place. Our room was comfortable, warm and with good plumbing and all the basic amenities such... More

The hotel is an extremely impressive building. What is lacking however is enough staff to match the potential that the Bull clearly has. I don't understand the logic of having one experienced member of staff (who was brilliant ) and one junior member to run a busy bar and take and deliver food orders - all this on a busy... More

We paid for this 2 night stay on Ebay last summer and unfortunately due to various circumstances could only book and stay for the nights of 16th and 17th March 2013. In the meantime The Bull had changed hands, (I understand due to the retirement of the previous owners), however the new owner agreed to honour Ebay deals bought previously.... More

So a lovely old hotel/ pub with prime location. Recently taken over and they are slowly renovating and refacing the bull. Food is good pub grub, cooked well and very tasty. The front of house staff know absolutely nothing. There's no direction, no idea of service. It's a fickle trade- get it right now. Start investing in your staff. Menu... More
