A country pub .

Woolpit is a I lovely little hamlet . No other eating places apart from a chip shop so we ate at the Bull . We personally didn’t like the menu choice and found the cooked breakfast a bit greasy again little choice. No eggs Benedict, Omelettes etc on offer . There was the usual cereal choices but only plain yogurt and no pastries. Bananas were badly bruised so overall we were a little disappointed.

Not close to the AF bases

Handy spot, little out of the way. There's another Bull Inn within the borough of Bury St Edmunds close to the air force bases that I thought I was booking, so beware if you're visiting military family.

Lovely stay with excellent fresh food.

Lovely village pub/restaurant. Great service from front of house manager. Young man, very friendly and welcoming. Lovely evening meal, fair prices, fresh vegetables. Room clean, warm and cosy. Good shower and bathroom facilities. Outside, Iron stairs to room so just be aware. We would definitely stay again.

Had excellent stay in The Bull at Woolpit. Great selection of breakfast options, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, full english small and large, toast, coffee and tea. The service was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. Comfortable room with view over Woolpit roofs and garden. Evening meal was excellent value for money and superbly cooked. We ate in the restaurant every evening. The owners and the staff work extremely well together. We will definitely be returning soon.
