A really nice place to stay, and we were made to feel very welcome!
Pros:

The location is excellent, and it was very handy being right opposite the pub - meals (and drinks) there were delicious! The apartment is quirkily furnished, the kitchen well equipped, and the beds were very comfortable. It was nice to be able to sit out on the terrace too. Highly recommended!

Cons:

The bedrooms facing the front did get very hot in this weather, even with the curtains drawn, so some fans would have been welcome. I had the back bedroom which was relatively cool, although I hadn't thought of that when I chose that room - I just liked the look of the chaise-longue!

Wonderful
Pros:

The dinner was amazing, we ordered lots of plates which we shared between 4 of us. Excellent use of a wide variety of ingredients, heavy on the veg which I loved.

Cons:

The breakfast was a little odd in the ordering, so I think you had to choose 1 big and 2 little, or 3 little, something like that. I would have prefered a bit more flex.

Delightful from start to finish - love The Bull and its staff team.
Pros:

Have been planning to visit for a while & The Bull exceeded expectations. Food, staff, bedlinen, decor and eco-friendly ethos all contributed to a wonderful stay.

Cons:

We messed up on the parking app code and ended up with a parking ticket! Not a fault of The Bull but do be careful.

Perfect stay for me
Pros:

Lovely comfortable room with good quality natural material bedding, a good choice of teas which were loose and disposable bags supplied to steep the tea in the tea pot or cups. Water also provided as well as coffee. Good bathroom with high quality facilities, I loved the soap too, although not everyone would like it to use in the shower rather than than shower gel etc. Lovely breakfast, nice to have some different options for breakfast and all delicious. The staff were excellent, all very courteous and helpful.

Cons:

Although it didn’t bother me my brother would have liked a tv in his room but it did say there was only a radio.

Pros:

Breakfast excellent. Superb homemade marmalade. Helpful, cheerful staff. Good access to Totnes, should you want to wander around the town.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the weather was very hot and the room terribly ventilated. It's an old pub and needs better methods to control temperature in the bedroom. The room needs a small fridge for storing milk etc. Parking outside the hotel is limited and very restricted to one hour. You need to use the local car parks.

Bohemian heaven with sustainability at its core
Pros:

Bohemian beautifully decorated with an outstanding seasonal menu and staff. Everything about our stay was sublime, The Bull Inn never disappoints and nor does Totnes. This was our third stay and we are already booked in for our next.

Highly recommended!
Pros:

Fabulous place to stay in Totnes. We had a spacious, spotlessly clean, shabby chic room that we loved. The staff were all so friendly and helpful (and I do mean all of them!). The location was perfect for us and the street was surprisingly quiet through the night. Breakfast was marvellous, so tasty! We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was delicious. We would definitely stay here again

Beautiful room in a great location. We can only recommend it.
Pros:

Very unique place with so much attention to detail, fantastic food in the pub for breakfast and dinner. Great location in the beautiful Totnes. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. All was clean and ready when we arrived. We felt right at home and were sorry that we had only booked in for one night and not longer.

Cons:

There is no ‘longer term’ parking directly in front of the pub. However, there are a number of affordable, very close walking distance car parks that you can use instead.
