Alright stay, mould in bathroom, dimly lit

Overall it was alright for an overnight stay. There were some mould on the bathroom tiles on the floor and on the wall. Some of the lights were not working so the room was dimly lit.

Double bed against a wall is just wrong!

All good except for the double bed pushed against the wall. A double room should allow both people room to get in and out of bed. If the funky but unnecessary desk had been removed then the bed could have been accommodated properly. The decor, fittings and bathroom were all very stylish but not much use as you clamber into bed.

1 nights business stay, upon arrival the receptionist was stood up eating her tea, when i came down for my evening meal I was told they stopped serving food at 7:45, the time was bang on 7:45. The room was ok, with a real nice roll top bath, however all flat services in the room had a layer of dust on them. For the price of the room I wouldn't of expected these issues.

Great quirky pub, restaurant and hotel. Ideal for us on our way to Norwich. Have stayed before, so was looking forward to going back. Delicious food, lovely, comfy beds in fun 'cow' themed rooms. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff are wonderful. Will definitely stay there again, on our next trip to that part of the world.

The Bull Inn is a characterful property, very well placed for visits to Snetterton racing circuit and this was the purpose of our visit. We found the Inn very comfortable, clean and the restaurant was very good for dinner and breakfast. Parking is free, plentiful and immediately outside the courtyard rooms. I’d be very happy to return to The Bull Inn if I’m in the area again.
