“Probably not ideal for the business traveller!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Stayed for one night and booked it mainly because the room was reasonably priced and the location was ideal for a nearby business meeting. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful and the room ("Fairfax") was fine being clean, warm and comfortable. Free wi-fi is available to guests and this worked very well. No bar meals were available other than at lunchtime and the a la carte restaurant menu prices would not have gone down well with my employer!

As another reviewer has pointed out the hotel does not start serving breakfast until 8am and I needed to leave before then; this is something I should have checked before I booked! Not sure I've ever stayed anywhere before that start serving that late. Also, upon leaving just after 7am, I discovered that the reception area was in darkness; a key is provided in order that one may escape via a side door however this seemed very odd!

In conclusion this hotel may be ideal for certain guests but as for myself it'll probably be the Travelodge the next time I stay in Burford.

Beautiful hotel, setting, staff, rooms... I could go on. Amazing service nothing was too much and the food was stunning. Great location to explore the Cotswolds.

“I want to try to use a different word than charming ... Whatever, it was charming!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

We stayed here after the Bay Tree cancelled our reservation to bump us for a wedding. (Avoid the Bay unless you enjoy being messed around.)

The Bull is a lovely little b&b right in the centre of the village. With an excellent restaurant, friendly and helpful staff, decent value, suitably twisty corridors leading to cute and well appointed rooms. Pretty much all you want for a night in the Cotswalds.

“Wonderful family run hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

We stayed here forever a week with my family when our father fell I'll. We all travelled in from across the world. We didn't want to be there and it was a very sad time but the staff at Bull made the experience memorable for the right reasons.
The two sons serving were excellent as were their recommendations in wine.
We ate everything on the menu over the week and it was all outstanding. Even food I wouldn't normally try like rabbit.
The deal for £100 for DBB for two nights was the best value I have experienced.
The rooms are smaller and the front of the building does have a noisy road but you get use to it. The rooms at the back are and the superior rooms are more luxurious.
They could not have looked after us better.

Room Tip: Quieter rooms at the back larger rooms are upgraded.
