A very pleasant looking hotel with a bar area that although cosy was a tad dated. We booked a small double room which should have actually read miniscule double. Compared to similar hotels in the area this was expensive at £180 for two people for 2 nights so it would have been nice to have been allocated one of the other vacant larger rooms. The breakfasts were pretty dire unfortunately. No menu provided and instead we were asked what we would like for breakfast. Hmm...good question when there's no menu. So we were offered cereal. Who knows what was in the cupboard?? So we opted for an orange juice and an apple juice. Both concentrated variety. Then, the full English, which, was fair apart from some very cheap sausage, 1 and a half mushrooms and tinned tomatoes, not fresh. Coffee was excellent. The host who is very friendly was very chatty throughout our breakfast althought she was very nice.

A small comfortable Inn in a very pretty and quiet part of middle England. The rooms were warm and comfortable and the bathrooms, were well equipped, despite their small size, Bulls head is an old building and Becky and her team have done a great job making it welcoming. I will definaitely return... The food was fantastic dinner and breakfast.

Pleasant stay

The welcome and atmosphere is consistently good and the food - evening dinner and breakfast - excellent. The place is a little tired and I could not get the shower to provide constant water at the right temperature, but apart from that another very comfortable and pleasant stay.

Lovely little pub accommodation, the room was spacious and the bed comfy. I would have liked an iron in the room, and a more powerful shower, as well as an earlier check in. The breakfast was lovely, as was the owner. A nice little place to stay.

Relaxing long weekend "away from it all".

Absolutely delightful. Breakfast is indeed exceptional, the room is very comfortable and has everything that we needed for a three-day weekend. Netflix an unexpected bonus after a good walk in the nice countryside on the doorstep. Dinner was also excellent plus the Bangladeshi restaurant in Swadlincote provided one of the best "Indian" dinners in a very long time. Location is quiet and safe and Becky and the Staff couldn't be more helpful or friendly.

A great place to stay

Lovely stay with excellent staff who were very welcoming and attentive during our one night stay. The accommodation was clean and well presented, although a little tired in places, which was absolutely fine for our stay. The bed was a small double, which was a little soft for my liking, although other reviews say the beds were great, so very much a personal preference. Don't let that put you off as out time here was great. The food is lovely in the pub, and as I said at the beginning, the staff are excellent and really make you feel appreciated. The host makes a fantastic breakfast too, and deserves to do well in her business, which we will return to at some point.

We enjoyed our time at the Bulls Head. We checked in after a long travel day and enjoyed supper in the restaurant. The atmosphere and food were great. We had a good nights sleep and enjoyed a great breakfast in the morning. There is a pub about 15 mins away also called the Bulls Head and we ended up taking the scenic route to get here because of a bad google maps entry on our behalf.

Highly Recommended

The Bulls Head is a lovely old pub. The building has many interesting features, blended with the comfort of modern living. We had an en suite room which had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pub is friendly and mainly used by people going to eat. Whilst we didn’t have dinner at the pub, the breakfast was fantastic, beautifully laid out and freshly prepared. We went for a full English which was very generous, lighter options are available if you wish. David is very friendly and paid lots of attention to our needs with wonderful attention to detail. A great option.
