Great Location, brilliant service (the owner had taken time out to ask if everything was OK, a great touch) and room was clean and comfortable. Great choice on the food menu as well.

Great overnight stay

This was a perfect overnight stay for us. Dave was a great host, evening meal and breakfast was excellent - the puddings were amazing. Thanks

Brilliant accommodation

Really lovely stay. Rooms was characterful and spacious but yet still cosy and really well thought out with plug sockets everywhere you would want them. Staff and service was brilliant, very kind and attentive. Breakfast was delicious too. Would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Relaxing long weekend "away from it all".

Absolutely delightful. Breakfast is indeed exceptional, the room is very comfortable and has everything that we needed for a three-day weekend. Netflix an unexpected bonus after a good walk in the nice countryside on the doorstep. Dinner was also excellent plus the Bangladeshi restaurant in Swadlincote provided one of the best "Indian" dinners in a very long time. Location is quiet and safe and Becky and the Staff couldn't be more helpful or friendly.

Friendly staff and comfortable accomodation.

Stayed for one night whilst visiting Calke Abbey and the National memorial arboretum. Friendly welcome, quiet and comfortable room and nice evening meal. Good breakfast to set us up for our day. Would highly recommend and would stay again. Thank you to Dave and the team at the Bulls Head.

10/10 Exceptional

This booking was delightful, I could park safely and the welcome was warm and friendly. The room was fine for a short stay being warm and comfy. The evening meal was very good, the service attentive and caring for a lone female traveller. The bed was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was definitely FULL. All in all the Bulls Head was a good find!
Helen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice location, but our room had a fire escape light above the door that was very bright that it disturbed our sleep. The showwr also dropped loudly in the night which woke us both. We were not asked on check out how our stay was. Stay was okay but would not return. .

10/10 Exceptional

A small comfortable Inn in a very pretty and quiet part of middle England. The rooms were warm and comfortable and the bathrooms, were well equipped, despite their small size, Bulls head is an old building and Becky and her team have done a great job making it welcoming. I will definaitely return... The food was fantastic dinner and breakfast.

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay

The welcome and atmosphere is consistently good and the food - evening dinner and breakfast - excellent. The place is a little tired and I could not get the shower to provide constant water at the right temperature, but apart from that another very comfortable and pleasant stay.

Bulls head

Lovely little pub accommodation, the room was spacious and the bed comfy. I would have liked an iron in the room, and a more powerful shower, as well as an earlier check in. The breakfast was lovely, as was the owner. A nice little place to stay.

The Bulls Head was a lovely place to stay warm friendly and they made you feel at home. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. I would definately stay again

A great place to stay

Lovely stay with excellent staff who were very welcoming and attentive during our one night stay. The accommodation was clean and well presented, although a little tired in places, which was absolutely fine for our stay. The bed was a small double, which was a little soft for my liking, although other reviews say the beds were great, so very much a personal preference. Don't let that put you off as out time here was great. The food is lovely in the pub, and as I said at the beginning, the staff are excellent and really make you feel appreciated. The host makes a fantastic breakfast too, and deserves to do well in her business, which we will return to at some point.
