Stayed one night at The Bull-pais £70 bed and breakfast for my wife and I. Although a Sunday a wedding reception was in progress but luckily we were in a room away from this and heard little noise. The room was fine but needed a little TLC however all the staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was excellent

As we had stayed before we e- mailed the hotel beforehand requesting a quiet room (no 37) as some of the rooms at the front of the hotel can be quite noisy if there is a wedding being held in the hotel (which...

We stayed at this Property for 2 nights in July of 2012. The Bull Inn is a charming old building in the cute village of Long Melford.

I'm only just catching up with writing a few reviews so this one is regarding a one night stay on Sunday the 14th of of April.

We've often been here - a very interesting Tudor building - for a bar lunch but this was the first time for a meal in the main restaurant, another wonderful room with enormous fireplace. We were pleasantly surprised by the wide menu (with special more economical meals on the weekdays) but even the a la carte and the Sunday roasts... More

My wife and I stayed here last Friday evening. We had a b+b deal and we had dinner as well. The Bull is a lovely old building, steeped in character and oozing history.
