A star find
The Bull In was a very nice place to stay. Staff friendly, great cooked breakfast. Room very clean and welcoming. Only slight thing was probably my fault, but I could not see any signage for where to book in, so went to the Bar which was very busy, but got sorted in the end. Happy days

Absolutely perfect for a short overnight stay. Staff couldn't be more friendly especially the young lady that checked me in and showed me to my room - unfortunately I didn't get her name ! Would thoroughly recommend !

A place to return to
Such a helpful owner who sorted just the right room for us in the courtyard. We had one dinner and 2 nights bed and breakfast. The room was lovely and comfortable with everything we needed including Taylors coffee bags and Earl Grey teabags! We will be going back later in the year.

This is such a professionally run small hotel/pub/restaurant. We liked the attention to details that the owners have put into the smooth running of their operation. We would definitely stay there again as it’s a great location for exploring Suffolk and Norfolk.

One night stay. everything was clean and worked as it should. It’s a busy pub ( on a Friday) but the accommodation is in chalets just far enough away from the the pub for the noise not to be intrusive. Excellent breakfast Very happy would stay again

Quiet spot
Very quiet village, full of character. Single room was in an annexe. Pub was closed for one day of my two night stay, so very quiet. There was a secluded outside seating area. The room was a good size. Toilet could have been cleaner and the shower entrance was a tight squeeze!! Wasn't aware there was no daily room service, but was asked if I needed anything instead. Staff were 👍 and so to breakfast. Would come again.

Absolute gem
Really lovely place to stay. They have taken every effort to ensure comfort, quality and service. The room was well designed, good quality linen and towels, and sited in a quiet garden ensuring a good night's sleep. The food was excellent, really good breakfast, and all staff that we met were great. Will definitely be going back soon thanks

Very enjoyable 1 night stay
Very good value for money, enjoyable stay and a convenient location. Staff also friendly, would certainly stay again and happy to recommend. Only downside for me was the mattress was too soft and made my back ache, could of been a bit firmer. Also didn’t understand why I was given one and a half slices of toast for breakfast, what happened to the other half!! Although I don’t doubt the gentleman on breakfast duty would of provided more if I had asked.

The Bull Inn - room 6
I would absolutely stay here again. A lovely quiet place with spacious room that is decorated very well including the bathroom that is fitted out very well to high standard. The bed is super comfortable and I had a great sleep. The full English was delicious and reassuringly hot when brought to the table.

Ok on this iccasio for an overnighter .
Acommodation in what i would describe as a glorified shed type building .Bed was supposed to be Queen sized but seemed smaller, like double.woken up at 7.45 with building noise from the room next door.Bathroom not particularly clean,but room was adequate for an overnighter. Breakfast was nice after confusion of our right to two meals was sorted.Would not be rushing back .

Monday night
Everything was excellent, if you staying on a Monday night check your emails as food is not always available but it is not a real problem as there are recommended options locally & an excellent fish & chip shop for alfresco dinning in the lovely beer garden. Breakfast excellent

Overnight stay
My folks stayed here for one night and had a lovely time. The rooms in the main building were being renovated, so their room was in one of the outbuildings. It had everything they needed for an overnight stay. They also mentioned that the breakfast (included in the price), was superb and set them up for the day!

Comfortable accommodation. I booked the Bull after an accommodation search on Bury St. Edmonds. It came as something of a shock to find it's actually 8 miles away as the pub doesn't serve food on Sunday nights and I had to drive to Bury to find somewhere to eat.

Fantastic value with great food and service
A one night stay for work in the area. Simply outstanding value for money. I'll be making The Bull a regular haunt each time I have work near Bury St Edmunds. All in all fab. Very friendly, very helpful, fantastic room for the money. The only issue was that I found the shower cubicle design a little awkward with a high step to get in. But this is serious nitpicking, on a great stay
