The Bull and Swan

Excellent service and lovely staff who were very attentive. The room we had was large and extremely comfortable including a lovely mattress. The food served (evening meal and breakfast) was delicious and well prepared. We would definitely stay there again.

Historic building full of character & charm, twisty stairs & low beams. Staff were all fantastic, cheerful & very helpful. We were lucky & were able to park almost outside, but the option of free parking just up the road was good. The main road is very busy which meant that with a room on the front with the windows open on a hot night, it was very noisy. There was a fan provided, which was also very noisy. Food was very good, with fresh ingredients from their own veg & herb garden at the back. Dinner here is worth considering; though my pork schnitzel was dry, the burgers are first class. Breakfast too was very tasty. Very central location.

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.

The attention to detail was absolutely spot on. We took our two dogs and they were made very welcome. Great room and to have fresh milk for tea, should be standard large bathroom and lovely food. We are going back end of December. Town is great to walk round and lovely local walks.

Cosy place to stay. Every room has a different name and interior. Even at the street side, there is not too much noise from the traffic. Beds are comy with enough pillows. Lovely pub with outdoor heated seating area. Breakfast is well prepared and abundant. Personnel is friendly.

Disappointed that our booking was taken for dinner without being told the pub tables inside the building were all taken so we,'d be outside! It was a very cold evening. Upon arrival we were taken to what essentially is a large shed in the garden. Inside this "space" picnic tables with cowhide skins on the fixed benches were provided for guests. I had specifically asked the staff member who greeted us if this alternative venue had four walls and a roof. He said it did. Well this was less than an honest response unless someone had stolen one of the The ingress of cold night air ruined any ambience and defeated the wall heaters provided. There was absolutely no cosy pub feel there, just harsh lights and uncomfortable benches. Probably because we were in the garden the inadequate numbers of staff (we counted 3) were unable to provide us with a timely service. Orders were taken slowly and delivered slowly. The burgers were greasy, unattractively presented with chips that were hard, cold and inedible. The compulsory service charge on a largely overpriced and poorly provuded meal is 12.5%! Outrageous.
