Good with a couple of minor niggles

We were very impressed by all the staff we encountered during our stay. We stayed for one night in Room 110 which was a good size with lots of character. A few of things let it down, the mattress too saggy, the shower seal not great so the bathmat became sodden very quickly and the coffee machine wouldn’t work. However, we really enjoyed our stay and would book again.

The hotel is lovely and cozy. Our room had some unique features, including a window in the bathroom that overlooks the bedroom. In the evening, we enjoyed drinks at the hotel bar, which also offered games to play. This made it a wonderful place for a family stay. Thank you very much!

Liked the whole vibe of the hotel. Sat in the lovely courtyard to have our lovely lunch (good choice of veggie options) pre- booking in. Excellent service from the staff, particularly Jack. Very easy check in, with room ready early. Bed was comfortable and shower facility was grand. Nice selection of teas and coffee in room with lovely shortbread. Altogether a very pleasant stay, with breakfast included

Liked the history and originality. Welcoming, happy, helpful. Lovely breakfasts with plenty of choice. Good size bedroom, but outside plant coming in the bathroom window. Would have liked instructions for coffee machine. Good instructions to get to the car park round the back. No lift (because of age of the building). but stairs could be challenging for any with severe mobility problems.

We were given room 108, which was hot like a furnace as I understand it’s above the kitchen. I couldn’t sleep for two nights in a row because of the heat. What was best in this hotel was its staff. However, on the last day, we preebooked a table by the window for four guests and were moved into a cramped space at the back of the room. The rooms we were in also were in great need of an update.

Our rooms badly needed an upgrade. One of our rooms was 108, which was above the kitchen and was so not we could hardly sleep. Most rooms overlook the patio area, which can be noisy, and most rooms are overlooked by the rooms on the opposite side.

Lovely hotel for our 1 night stay. Friendly welcoming staff made it special. Great breakfast, lots of options including my favourite avocado on sourdough. Yes a little noisy at night due to being located on a busy street, but lovely room with an unexpected 4 poster bed and free standing bath. Perfect base for exploring the area. We walked 2 miles to West Bay and drove to Lyme Regis. Would have liked to enjoy a drink in the courtyard garden under the wisteria as it looked beautiful but time was against us. Market right outside on Saturday morning was great for fresh fruit, veg and plants. Hotel parking was very useful.

The Bull and Bridport could not have been nicer...

Super-charming little Inn I picked somewhat at random from internet recommendations of historic hotels. The room was wonderful, the view overlooking the street was great. Loved the quaint little town, a street market the morning of my departure made everything just the more memorable and enjoyable.

We had a very pleasant three night stay at the Bull, the rooms are all different and decorated in various styles. The courtyard is potentially a very attractive space to sit, drink, eat and socialise, however it was a tad chilly during our stay and it needed a thorough tidy up to realise its full potential. The staff were great, helpful, polite, attentive but not intrusive. The food was of a good standard and breakfast was superb. There are plenty of local attractions and interesting places to visit providing you have your own transport, however being located in Bridport itself everywhere in the town is within walking distance. One word of caution when booking establish where your room is located, - I didn’t and found myself at the most distant room, which would not be a problem if you don’t have health issues as there is no lift and lots of stairs! Thoroughly recommend a stay here.
