The room was amazing!! We had a great time exploring around the town. The parking was a little tricky but being there on a weekend meant we were able to use the additional parking from the business next door.

A lovely venue in the heart of Bridport that has lovely rooms, well equipped and renovated. Good soundproofing as it felt like the whole of Bridport was out celebrating the life of a much loved local lost too soon. It was lovely to see everyone being welcomed by the hotel who had put on such a great send off. So it was busy but there was such a lovely sense of community and the Bull Hotel was obviously chosen as a trusted venue to host such an important event for the town. The breakfast was lovely with great choice and really good, attentive service. If you want to stay in the centre of this lovely town then I highly recommend the Bull hotel

Characterful, nice decor, tall ceilings, Victorian property. Food was really good, breakfast was awesome, staff were really good, friendly and attentive. We'd booked for two adults and a child through expedia, when we arrived the system just showed a double master room. The duty manager fortunately understood our situation and sorted out a child food out bed, which is what we'd expected.

The food meet the standard, wine do not have too much choice. We selected a bottle of Pays d’Oc for dinner. But the cleanness of the hotel room do with question. A lot of dust and I have question about when did they check the bed linen and cushion cover?

Awful.

Terrible. Dirty room, uncomfortable bed, old furniture. Breakfast was slow. We left after one night. In fairness to Gemma she handled it very well and refunded the second night with a partial refund for the first and understood this property is in dire need of a refurb.

Great location just a short drive from the beach. Plenty of shopping in walking distance and a nice farmers market on the doorstep when we were there. Helpful guide in the room detailing local activities and pleasant staff working throughout during our stay. The room was also well equipped and the bed super comfortable
