The Bull Hotel's central location in Peterborough is a definite highlight, placing guests conveniently close to the train station and the cathedral. Many found the rooms spacious and comfortable, with some appreciating the large TVs. The bar area stands out for its beautiful decor and cool atmosphere, though a few guests have found the breakfast options somewhat limited. Free car parking is another appreciated perk.

i found the breakfast to be very good. the ingredients tasted fresh, and everything was cooked well. the location is great too. the decor downstairs had a lovely design and the air conditioning was effective.
i found it difficult to locate the car park at the back of the hotel. the electronic key entry system was not reliable. the tables in the bar were sticky to touch. i do not accept that this is a 4 star hotel, more like 3 star.

The double room I reserved contained two single beds. These beds sat adjacent to each other. This arrangement proved disappointing. The mattress firmness also became a significant issue. It caused an uncomfortable night's sleep. The towel rail in the bathroom was non-functional too.
