Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a lovely choice with fantastic rooms and great food. The rooms are lovely, all very clean and comfortable, but the stifling heat was a bit of an issue. The service was exceptional, with helpful and polite staff in a stunning bedroom; however, a small detail with the restaurant table could be improved. The location is really nice and relaxing, right in the center of Olney, perfect for planned visits in the area. The dining experience, although disappointing with unexpected menu items, still had a good selection. The facilities were top-notch and included in the price.
The hotel offers fantastic up-to-date comforts and fantastic food. However, there were some issues as there was no chair or handrail to access the room from the landing, and a non-working bedside light after the first night due to continuous banging noise in the room.
At the Bull hotel, I had a nice and clean room with good facilities. The restaurant served quirky and different food, which was great. The staff were extremely helpful during my stay, especially considering we came from out of town for a concert.
