The property is on one of the main streets in the middle of Bridport - a nice market town with lots of quaint streets and interesting not-chain shops. The Bull is an old building. We stayed in a large room set in what was once a mews but now acts as an open air eating and drinking area. The room was large and comfortable - big king-sized bed and a large bathroom. We liked the room but the bathroom in particular was in need of some maintenance. Being on the ground floor, it could have done with some net curtains as we felt people passing by or in the courtyard could otherwise see into the room. Otherwise we had to keep the blinds and/or curtains drawn which made it feel quite dark and stuffy overnight. We also felt the cleaning staff could have been a bit more thorough: although they sorted the bed, they didn't always replaced used teabags etc. - and the vacuuming left a lot of areas with dust and bits. In general, it's a nice property but we felt that more attention needs to be paid to the details, especially given the price. We would definately go back if they sorted these out.

Very disappointing stay
Very disappointing stay. Room was tiny - too small to even have a bedside table each side and no room for a chair. Small fan-light window only so little fresh air. Only available surface was over-cluttered (with kettle, coffee machine, cooling fan, tea tray) so nowhere to put anything and surface was not clean (coffee marks not wiped) and mugs not properly washed. One packaged item of toiletries partially used by previous occupant. Lighting too poor to read by. Staff were in the main were unhelpful and indifferent. No where to sit for pre-dinner cocktail so had to be at dining table and encouraged to eat earlier than booked as table was needed. No apology for lengthy wait for breakfast next morning. Towels and biscuits were good though!

Fantastic couple of days. Carnival weekend so such a great atmosphere. Close to a wide range of shops fairly easy walking distance to beach if you are relatively fit but regular public transport. In summary great location. Comfortable, clean room with very friendly service. I would definitely recommend

Great spot for exploring local area and lovely walk to West Bay. Staff were always polite, friendly and helpful at all times which makes your stay. Great food and options. For a Fullers establishment there was only one ale on tap, no other Fullers bottled options at all which was a shame. We stayed in a deluxe double, it was in a great spot off courtyard, very clean but could do with a bit of tlc. Stains on sofa, furniture a bit worn and shower rack hanging on for dear life, but overall had a lovely stay in charming old inn
