“The Bull Hotel stands out as a Grade 2 listed coaching inn, offering a glimpse into Stony Stratford's history. The recent room refurbishments appear promising, though some rooms overlooking the pub might encounter late-night noise. While the coffee hub is a highlight, I'd advise caution regarding the breakfast, which seems to miss the mark based on what I've gathered.”

I must say, the upside-down toilet roll holder was a stroke of genius, really showcasing the hotel's commitment to... innovation? and the water pressure? i have more power when i spit, not a powerful shower. the limited food menu was thrilling. A true test of culinary minimalism.

great locationfousty smell

the hotel location is great, right in the heart of the historic coaching town.

I found the lack of running water in my room unacceptable upon arrival.. i was moved to a different room after being told about the sister hotel. i woke up without water to shower. the room was also dusty with a fousty smell.
