Wonderful stay, almost perfect
Pros:

We love this place, it's food, ambience and ethos are wonderful. The beds are cosy, the fiid delicious, the staff lovely.

Cons:

We stay here numerous times to see family, and love it, but have experienced the same problem twice. We book a room advertised as 'twin or double' but have to contact the hotel to confirm twin, and it's been difficult. More clarity about how to request twin during booking would be greatly appreciated.

Pros:

The food was exceptional, a great choice of menu with so much thought put into it. All the staff were very approachable and knowledgeable and we felt nothing was too much trouble. We were served a lovely meal after being delayed on our return from a day out. Having been told service finished at 2015 the manager ensured we had fresh food prepared by 2100.

Cons:

I don’t have any negative comments

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.
