Step in off the bustling market streets of Bridport and discover the wonderful world of the Bull Hotel.
Easy-going, informal and bursting with life, this former 17th-century coaching inn, lovingly restored by owners Richard and Nikki Cooper, oozes eclectic style and contemporary-rustic charm.
Only a short distance from the epic Jurassic Coast (a World Heritage Site) and the seaside attractions of West Bay and Lyme Regis, a stay at the Bull offers the perfect combination of market-town energy, rural loveliness, and coastal beauty that makes it just about the most perfect place to be.
Wedding, anniversary, birthday; whatever the excuse, The Bull is the perfect venue for the party of a lifetime.
Weddings
Our beautiful blue ballroom, complete with sprung dancefloor, cut-glass windows, and crystal chandeliers, is licensed for civil weddings and holds up to 100 wedding guests.
The sumptuous Venner Bar, with its vintage leather sofas and gold-leaf chairs, is just the spot for an intimate drinks party of up to 40 people.
And in the plush and decadent Ostler Room, we can cater for 25 of your closest friends, offering the ultimate in private dining and service.
Why not book the whole hotel for the weekend, and get the most out of your big moment?
Our in-house wedding and party planner, Justine, can help with everything from flowers and music to pink flamingos and bespoke cocktails.
