Great hotel. Super food. Ate in both nights as better than surrounding restaurants. Scott the manager was exceptional and very friendly and professional. His staff were attentive and efficient and very pleasant to deal with. All in all a great break and we highly recommend it.

In the restaurant, a Continental and cooked breakfast is available in the morning for a surcharge. Muesli, yoghurt and fresh fruit is also available. Using fresh, local produce there is also a lunch and dinner menu available. The menu also includes a ‘Huffer’ filled sandwich, popular with the locals.

Everything about the property was brilliant as it usually is. Lovely setting, lovely food, lovely room and friendly staff.

The Bull has been a coaching inn in the Essex village of Halstead for 500 years. This traditional pub offers rooms with free Wi-Fi, a lively bar and home-cooked food.

The comfortable rooms at The Bull Hotel are decorated in light colours and feature TVs, hairdryers and tea/coffee-making facilities. Rooms include bathrooms with showers.

It was a lovely oldie worldie pub with great off-street parking. The rooms were lovely and clean and bed was very comfortable. The staff were very accommodating and polite. I would definitely stay here again!

    Very comfortable bed and spacious room, a fantastic location for me right in the centre of town at an old coaching inn. Beautiful old building dating back a couple of centuries. Would recommend it. The food met expectations also the beer was very nice tasting, a best bitter.

    We stayed here for a night prior to a wedding reception nearby. The staff were all very friendly. Thank you Josh T for helping us out at dinner. The room was well equipped, albeit a tad dated, lovely hot water from the shower.

    It works as a pub but not as a hotel, it seems like the staff don’t know (or don’t care) that they have guests staying overnight. Bad manners, no dinner served for some nights without warning, locking doors while you are sitting outside. But overall just rude when telling you.

    Had dinner in restaurant and it was lovely. Breakfast was not great. Bacon was cold and tried to toast some crumpets but toaster wasn’t working properly.
