The Cotswold hideaway
Eighteen bedrooms and three restaurants in a sixteenth-century coaching inn.
An inn on the
High Street
When Bull opened in 1536, it was a coaching inn, a place for tired horses to recover and prepare themselves for the next long ride. The new Bull aspires to offer the same service to anyone on a journey who might need a moment to catch their breath.
