    No cereal at breakfast time,limited choice. Not keen on the hand basin in the bedroom.Also the bedding a bit strange with the sheet folded over at the bottom of the bed.Not very comfortable like that!

    Convenient situation,nice dining room.Very friendly helpful staff.

    Love the rooms. Good quality old fashioned furniture and rugs rather than carpeting. May not be to everyone's taste, but they are to mine. Breakfast also very good.

    I traveled with my daughter. A modesty screen on the shower would have helped.

    The hotel is in a beautiful location yet easy to access. I found the host and all the staff extremely courteous and helpful. Would not hesitate to use again.

    At night quite noisy from doors opening and walking across floor boards. But still wouldn’t stop me staying again

    The way it has been converted very open but still with a traditional pub atmosphere. The in room fare was fantastic. The breakfast choice was amazing and absolutely brilliant vegetarian options

    We were told we needed to order food by 2.45 as kitchen was closing 3-4. We did this and I needed to be at another venue by 4 anyway. 3.45 an hour after ordering food was still not there and I ended up having to cancel my order and skip eating as I couldn’t be late. The next morning at breakfast there were no suitable options for my daughters so I had to get them something on the way home. My beans came out cold but after a whizz in the microwave they did taste warmer.

    I like how the rooms were cozy although a little strange the shower was in full view and my daughter was with me. Also only one bed which meant we had to book 2 rooms for 2 adults 2 children making me pay twice the cost.

    The car park was full, but I parked free just down the road, and enjoyed the short stroll back to it in the morning.

    Lots of old world charm, very comfortable, big room, tea tray with real milk, lovely atmosphere, good breakfast, staff were excellent, great value for money, Olney is a quaint town.

    There were times when I needed to study, but it was noisy, but I just had to wait for the bar to close. On my last night I think there was home sort of issue as I kept hearing loud banging long after closing which is 2300. It appeared to originate from the enclosed area. Unfortunately on my last morning, I was unable to enjoy a hot breakfast as I was told there was an issue with the stove. I was disappointed as I went without breakfast for several days as I had other engagements to attend. However, all I was going to get that morning were pancakes and bacon and I can get that anywhere.

    The breakfast was very hearty or light per your choice. The ambiance was inviting, warm, and well thought out. Noreen, Chris, and Cole were especially pleasing, nice, and accommodating. Both of their chef’s are on top of their game, and the overall experience delightful.

    Nothing negative to say. All good

    I’ve stayed several times at The Bull Hotel with work and always enjoyed my stay. I find the rooms are quite quirky- one room I was in had a bath actually in the room and this latest one had a washbasin and shower actually in the room 🤣 I guess with the place being an old coaching inn they are using the space the best they can. Anyway I like it. My room this time was at the front and was quite small but was very clean, had everything I needed and the bed was very comfortable. Shower was actually very good. The food in the evening and for breakfast was very good too. Free WiFi was decent
