Overnight stay on route to Snetterton Circuit on Sunday. Stayed in the Cowshed self contained room just away from building; great facilities and quiet space away from a wedding party on the day

Great quirky pub, restaurant and hotel. Ideal for us on our way to Norwich. Have stayed before, so was looking forward to going back. Delicious food, lovely, comfy beds in fun 'cow' themed rooms. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff are wonderful. Will definitely stay there again, on our next trip to that part of the world.

Appeared to have recently changed ownership or management, not quite in their groove. Bedroom window latch wouldn't shut & they laid out breakfast right next to us whilst we were eating our dinner in the restaurant. Staff were mainly young but friendly.

Room was tiny, stairs going up and down felt unsafe due to slope on the tread, bed was very small for two people, staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was average

Wonderful treatment, friendly and comfortable.

This was a really nice place to stay. Very friendly drag, a nice bed, and easy to get to. There was good available, but I got in late. Nice courtyard in from to relax in, and would highly recommend.

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.

My room was very comfortable and clean. The food was as good as ever with a good choice of meals. The staff were professional and attentive at all times. The cost of the room and food reflected the quality of provision and service there. I would definitely stay at The Bull Inn again.

Nice very old coaching Inn. 500 years old. Be careful if you stay upstairs as stairs are very rickety. Lovely restaurant. Really helpful friendly staff throughout.

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???

8/10 Very good

The only reason that I can't give the Bull Inn 5 stars is due to the really strange lay-out whereby the shower is totally open to the room. Obviously, if you share a room with someone, you're going to know each other very well, but having some privacy when you shower would be a good thing.
