The Bull Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

The Bull Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

8/10 Good
"The property is old quirky property , with ample parking to the rear. The staff were pleasant and helpful . The room was clean and toiletries were provided. Breakfast was a little chaotic on Sunday morning, it was busy and some of the tables weren’t set up ready for the guests, which I thought was a little unusual as I would have thought they would already have the total of guests staying for breakfast. Just that one glitch , the rest of our stay was most enjoyable."
