    Nothing.

    The breakfast was excellent, and we really enjoyed the evening meals we booked while at The Bushel. The staff who looked after us - Dawn, Kaylee, Oli and Paddy were very friendly and good fun, thank you.

    The only thing i didn’t like, was that the room looked onto the carpark and there were people walking past the window all the time. I felt that i needed to keep the curtain closed, which made the room really dark. I had to put the light on, even in bright sunshine.

    The inn was great, the staff were really friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

    We stayed here in January (in room 6), and this room had a similar theme in that whilst it was spotlessly clean, it had a tired feeling. If you were there for more than a couple of nights, then the lack of draw space would have been an issue. Saying all that we enjoyed our stay and the location makes it a winner.

    It is in a great location. The staff were all very friendly. We were in room 5, and it was a really good size. The bed was huge and comfortable.

    Myself and my wife have stayed in the Bushel 3/4 times and we have always enjoyed our stay, The staff are very helpful and will go out of there way to make sure that you have everything you need to make sure you enjoy your stay

    There is a very large choice for breakfast from a good choice of cereals too cooked breakfast, Outside rooms are clean and tidy with a good size bathroom, The Bushel is located only about a 5 mins from the Bury St Edmunds town and a further 3-4 mins the Bury St Edmunds Abbey

    The only negative was the bathroom was extremely warm which seemed odd as no towel rail was on.

    After a previous good stay last December I booked again recently for another work evening. Was able to park with no issues, checking in was quick and easy and same for checking out. That Friday was pretty warm to which the hotel provided an air conditioning unit which was great! We were in room 5 and the room had plenty of space and another comfortable night sleep

    Continental selection for breakfast was a bit limited, though the food we had there was really good.

    Really nice establishment with friendly staff, lovely comfy bed and great shower. Room could probably do with a little refresh (carpet very worn) but overall very nice place to stay and ideal location in Bury.

    Window openings were restricted so there was a lack of fresh air in the room. Toaster at breakfast was very slow.

    Spacious room, well set out. Plenty of free parking. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Good location in middle of Stony Stratford. The hotel manages to retain some of the charm of the past coaching era.

    A reasonably good stay apart from Monday morning breakfast

    Now for the bad news. At Monday morning breakfast the wheels came off completely. After ordering my full English breakfast it took a least 30mins. to arrive when it did finally arrive it was absolutely abysmal there was a couple of items missing the egg white was under cooked,the plate was swimming in cooking oil and probably sixteen baked beans. I should have complained to the manager but I was strapped for time.

    Had enjoyable stay at the bushel, when I was given my room it was by the side of the car park and on the main route into the rear entrance of the hotel. It was rather noisy at night after the bars closed, people walking home laughing and joking etc.
