The landlord has left this hotel, taking contents with him and owing money. When we arrived there were no longer rooms to let here.

This set of rooms should be removed from the site
Be warned. They no longer do rooms. Since we booked there have been a number of temporary landlords. Current one turned is away, saying all rooms locked/ closed. We had any number of automatic emails reminding us of the booking and looking forward to seeing us. Couldn't be further from the truth.

When we arrived we were told owners had done a bunk taking all bedding etc with them so there was no room for us. The guy we dpoke to was surly abd unhelpful. Luckily we found a ( much more expensive) room at the very nice and accommodating Feathers Hotel opposite.

Our 2 night stay at the bull Hotel started off great, met by host showed to our room which was nice and cosy and warm. Our first morning had a lovely cooked breakfast everything was fine until our second morning our check out morning we sat in dining room wlth 2 other couples waiting for a member of staff to come and sort our breakfast but unfortunately no one turned up so we had no breakfast which was included in the price, we even had tp leave our room key in the room door due to no staff, we actually read this problem in the reviews before we booked but just thought it was a one off but it looks like it must be a regular occurance so for this reason I wouldn't recommend staying here

Lovely old building being refurbished. Bright spacious room. Great breakfast with dietary needs catered for. Perhaps an extractor fan in bathroom would be helpful.

The building dates from 1183 but it is entirely modern while retaining its historic character. The communal breakfast room (breakfasts are part of the price & made to order) & sitting room is well proportioned & has a fantastic view of the other Tudor buildings across the street adding to historic experience of Ludlow. The hotel is literally in the centre of town and provides easy access to shopping areas: local businesses; established family stores; coffee shops and restaurants; the outdoor market; the Norman Castle; museum and medieval Church of St Laurence. My bedroom was ensuite and beautifully furnished and breakfast was included in the price. The public bar is popular but can get noisy on weekends, so I was told.
