Great place but not the best nights sleep

Lovely place, friendly staff and excellent location Unfortunately the wall between rooms was so thin I could hear every moment of my neighbour all night. Also the pillows are terrible- made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep. I appreciate you can’t do anything about the soundproofing in such a lovely old building but the pillows are a very cheep easy fix Would stay again but not whilst working!

Overnight stay

An impromptu stay but The Pied Bull was a lovely place. Lovely warm room, basic decor but excellent value for money. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious . Would definitely go back.

Lovely, warm welcoming pub

We received a lovely friendly welcome when we arrived at the pub. We both loved the character of the building, it's quirkiness and age. We were informed there was a quiz night, which we joined in with. We had a bit of food, and it was lovely. Again friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The only downside as far as I can say is that the opaque glass in the door for the bathroom was an issue for my autistic daughter, but for most it wouldn't be a problem. Just her preference for privacy. check out was simple and again a warm welcome when we dropped off the key.
