The Bull Inn is a characterful property, very well placed for visits to Snetterton racing circuit and this was the purpose of our visit. We found the Inn very comfortable, clean and the restaurant was very good for dinner and breakfast. Parking is free, plentiful and immediately outside the courtyard rooms. I’d be very happy to return to The Bull Inn if I’m in the area again.

Best food for miles
I’ll start by saying all the buildings are old so if you are looking for a comfortable place that’s close to the bases this is great. Nigel and his staff are top notch. Food is incredible and new refurbishments in the bar make it a great place to sit and relax.

Nice Pub and great staff, Nice boutique rooms and despite being next to the A11 surprisingly quiet. Nice food and friendly staff. The room was a little scrffy and the carpet was black so you could see all the full and dust? The only issue was that there was no hot water for a shower as they had a boiler issue in the night, so meant I had to have a strip wash, hopefully a one off, the staff did try and get an out of hours plumber but after 10pm was too out of hours by all accounts???

great food - brilliant staff
I thought this hotel was in a quiet village location - WRONG !! one side is - but the other side is right next to the extremely busy road. Note to self - even though i will be staying there next time i'm in the area, i wont in the summer as i will find it impossible to sleep if i have to open a window...... great food and brilliant staff

Appalling customer service
We had a master key as they had lost the room key. Lucky for them we are honest and didn’t open any other rooms! The room was ok, but about £50 over priced!! Food was lovely but the customer service was appalling. No invoice on check out. Had to then chase this when my card was charged. Didn’t phone back when they said they would 3 times. Service charge added to bill with no prior knowledge. One night with dinner for £236 was utterly ridiculous. Would not stay again and would not recommend other than for a meal.
