We stayed here for a concert at Sandringham. Lovely old pub in a pretty village. The place was packed, but very helpful, friendly service, great food and a nice room. Recommended.

We had a lovely two nights at the Bull as we were attending a wedding at Curds Hall Barn. The service is outstanding and Sue was extremely welcoming. We had a delicious meal in the restaurant one of the evenings and my gluten intolerant husband and needy dog were both well accommodated for! They serve a lovely breakfast and even provided a sausage for our pooch. The inn is located near the Litcham Common which is very pretty and perfect for a morning run or walk. If staying here for a wedding or event nearby I suggest to drive, there are taxis but they are limited and not cheap. Couldn't recommend the Bull enough for a country weekend away.

Great village location. Sue was a great host, very accommodating. Very nice breakfast. I would have given 5 stars but the room really needed a new mattress you could feel the divan underneath.
