A lovely wedding venue

We held our wedding reception in the Hayloft at the Bull Hotel and had such a lovely time (despite the rain)! The team went out of their way to help us and ensure we were enjoying ourselves on the day.

The food was great and the portions were very generous - we had so many comments from guests about how good it was. The pricing is incredibly fair considering how you much you get!

We stayed overnight and our room was beautifully designed, taking into consideration the heritage of the building, and the roll top bath was an added bonus. The breakfast offering the next day was also delicious.

We would 100% recommend and would definitely stay again! A special thank you to Kerry, Merlin and Sophie, and anyone else who helped out on the day :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
