Great quiet getaway

This was a realy nice venue to stay at. The single room was fine for me and comfortable, the rooms are to the rear of the Inn in an annex. All the food was nice and well presented. The staff very very pleasnant and helpful. The village is very quiet so for that quiet getaway you would be wise to think of here

Despite being under new ownership everything was lovely and clean. Staff could not do enough to make our stay memorable. All food was genuinely home made/ home cooked and delicious. Thanks to all for a lovely stay.

Festival Trip.

A lovely room to the rear and separate to the Inn. Room 4 - such a comfortable bed. Plenty of hot water. Car parking space in front of the room. Cooked breakfast of your choice. Friendly family running the Inn. Went to the area for a music festival, only went 1 day. If we attend next year we will stay at the Bull Inn again

Great pub, great food and even better service

We stopped for one night en route to a family wedding and so glad we chose the Bull at Rippingham. Lovely family run pub with rooms. The family only recently took over the pub and are doing a fabulous job. Super comfy bed (new mattress) and very clean room with en-suite. Great atmosphere in the pub and the new chef has a great menu of excellent food, all locally sourced, generous portions and great value for money. Breakfast was amazing too. All in all 5 star!

We were the first overnight guests for the new owners and forced them to accelerate their plans for taking guests! They were lovely and could not have given us a warmer welcome. They have great plans for the Bull Inn and we would love to go back in future to see the results. We wish them every success with their new venture.

New owners since I stayed there last year ,but found them and staff to be equally as nice,friendly and helpful. Breakfast was spot on,but special mention to Chef's Steak,done to perfection and best quality ( locally sourced i believe) that I have had in a number of years. Would recommend without hesitation.

A great place to stay!

What a brilliant little find! The location is in a pretty village, and the owner is really friendly and helpful. He was on hand to greet us, and cooked us a lovely meal in the pub restaurant. Our room was spacious but warm, as was the en-suite wet room. It was lovely and quiet too. Overall a great place to stay, and one we'd happily return to.

I had a really great stay at the Bull Inn which is located in a lovely quiet village surrounded by the countryside. My room was very clean, and the bed was so comfortable, and because it’s so peaceful, I had a fabulous nights sleep. Beats noisy large chain hotels any day!!! Lots of tea / coffee with biscuits provided which was nice as I’ve been to many hotels recently where you get minimal items. Lots of free parking and directly outside your own room which was brilliant for carrying suitcases etc out of your car. Leo the owner is absolutely lovely and really cares about his guests, and gives you the most amazing welcome. A really lovely gentleman. I stayed mid week and there was a pop up kitchen of Mexican food (different pop ups each week) which was gorgeous and I was able to sit on the small patio outside my room in the sunshine.. just so lovely. I would definitely come back to stay at The Bulls Inn if I were in the area again as I felt so comfortable and safe there.

Warm Welcome

A friend and I stayed here for the Burghley Horse Trials, which was about a 30 minute drive away. The hosts Daena & Leo, who have been running The Bull Inn for the last few months were fantastic. They are both really friendly and accommodating. We wanted to be away to Burghley before breakfast on Saturday, so they very kindly gave us a box of fruit and pastries on Friday night to take with us. Room was clean and comfortable, food in the pub restaurant was nice as was the cooked breakfast. Food, beer and room prices were good value. Locals were really friendly and welcoming too. We were really happy with our stay and will definitely stay here again when we are next in the area.

Our weekend at The Bull

For a short weekend stay, the Bull Inn was perfect for my wife and I. The management are extremely friendly and working hard to make the Inn a popular venue for locals and travellers. The food was excellent and a good choice as were the wines Breakfast was more than sufficient and well presented. The water was hot and the towels sufficiently large and soft. There is plenty of parking space.and it was quiet. The only downside was that the room was not made up when we were out or the used cups washed. This isn't a big deal on a short stay but if we were staying longer, would have been an irritant.

Exceeded expectations, will be back.

Arrived around 8pm and was shown to my room which was like a little chalet. Room 2 was a little dated, with a disability friendly bathroom, but was comfortable, cosy and had everything you would like to expect. A kettle, biscuits, plenty of bathroom minis. I liked that I was separate but next to the pub and had my truck parked right outside. The atmosphere in the pub was really nice, bustling with friendly locals and their dogs. Very pleasant to sit and have a meal which was excellent. The menu is vast, well priced and the ingredients used were top notch. I slept well and the breakfast was equally excellent, freshly cooked with top quality ingredients. Just what I needed after a long day working away, I will be back as very good value.
