A genuine English coach stop, built 1600-ish! Some modern features (like private baths) but the charm of Old English accommodations!

My room was very comfortable and clean. The food was as good as ever with a good choice of meals. The staff were professional and attentive at all times. The cost of the room and food reflected the quality of provision and service there. I would definitely stay at The Bull Inn again.

The Bull Inn is a characterful property, very well placed for visits to Snetterton racing circuit and this was the purpose of our visit. We found the Inn very comfortable, clean and the restaurant was very good for dinner and breakfast. Parking is free, plentiful and immediately outside the courtyard rooms. I’d be very happy to return to The Bull Inn if I’m in the area again.
