Across many reviews, Bull Hotel by Greene King Inns is praised for its warm, helpful staff, a characterful 15th‑century setting, and a scenic Long Melford location that suits short breaks, pub stays, and visits to this charming village.
Food is widely appreciated for hearty pub dishes and varied breakfasts, though a few guests reported slow dinner service or a disappointing breakfast. Rooms show age in places, with dated bathrooms, some noise from roads or the bar/adjoining rooms, and uncomfortably hot conditions in warm weather due to no air conditioning. Parking is free and handy, but spaces can be tight or sometimes full. Expect a traditional inn experience with charm and a few quirks.

We spent a pleasant night here with a very spacious room and comfortable bed, although the bathroom felt a touch old-fashioned. Our evening meals, in the bar, were OK, nothing special, although service was quite slow, and for some reason we couldn’t use a Greene King drink voucher despite it being a Greene King pub ! Breakfast selection the following morning was good and the smoked salmon and scrambled egg, freshly cooked from the hot menu, was excellent. Parking is in a courtyard behind the hotel and although we were able to use it space seemed quite tight.

Good staff ,friendly and helpful . Lovely historic hotel with bar , 2 restaurants & lounge . Nice food and reasonably priced food & drink . Lovely courtyard area to sit in . Brrakfast was very nice with good quality ingredients. Bedrooms are decent size , comfy bed BUT the HEAT the bedrooms is terrible, like walking into a sauna . The fan did nothing to help , we couldn't sleep and loads of other people were moaning about the heat rooms too . Something needs to be done about it . Apart from that it was a good stay .

Beautiful hotel with an amazing history. Upon arrival we received a very warm welcome, the staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful throughout. Our room was prepared by Lindsay, Jo & Sally and they did a remarkable job it was immaculate. Extremely comfortable king size bed and the shower was fab, superb water pressure. Great bar area to relax in before dining and the breakfast choice catered for everyone. Thank you for a wonderful stay and most certainly we will be back.

We stayed in the Melford Suite which was very comfortable and full of character. The staff were excellent, all very helpful and cheerful. Free parking is a big plus. The breakfast was delicious and so big we didn't need to eat again until the evening! Overall we were very happy and satisfied with our visit.

Staff are very friendly, food is very good and reasonably priced. The building is lovely and full of character, however the rooms are simply decorated. The location is excellent. Unfortunately, there were no parking spaces when we arrived in the afternoon so we had to park down the street, but parking is free in Long Melford so this wasn't a problem.

Firstly the staff were wonderful! Really friendly and accommodating. The room: First glance was beautiful and spacious! The bed wasn’t the most comfortable and also it was very noisy from other rooms. The doors are old and have clunky closing mechanisms the bathroom doors are particularly noisy so we woke up through the night when next door needed to pee! The bathroom struggled for hot water quite often (usually at busier periods) but the bath plug didn’t fit well so as a bath person it drained pretty quickly while you were in it! Cleanliness: The bathroom tiles were pretty dirty in the grout and they are old tiles so has had a few regrouting attempts. Nothing a bit of astonish spray wouldn’t fix but the rusting of the metalwork in there is getting fairly brutal! The amenities were a little sad in there and were not what I would expect. The sheets in the room had marks on but they had been changed so I would maybe speak to their linen providers if I was them! One of my pillows had a cream tinge through the case and I dared not look. All in all a nice place but needs some TLC I’ve stayed in some extremely old places historically and appreciated the charm but small things like fixing a cracked glass pane in the window would maybe help things feel a little more loved!

Great food in the evening. Breakfast experience less so, just not great with the cleaner hoovering around you at 7am. Breakfast order not offered for ten minutes. Room I was in was incredibly noisy from the bar till 11pm and then from 4am with traffic noise. Staff great, room clean and warm, and as I said good food.

Room was clean but situated next to the road which was busy. The breakfast was served cold and not very tasty. However the sunday lunch was excellent and served on a hot plate. Staff in the bar friendly and approachable. The atea of Long Melford has plenty to see and do thus the hotel is an ideal spot to stay.

The staff were uniformly very helpful. The food was good enough, but not excellent. The room, in the newer part of the building, would've been fine, but we stayed during hot weather and the room was hell at night, even with the windows fully open 👿 Just awful; really, really horrible. I guess the window catches the sun in the afternoon and evening, but we couldn't get to sleep until five in the morning the room temperature just didn't drop. A fan, with moving louvre, was provided, but it didn't do much to alleviate the insane oven effect. Top quality insulation apparently 😆 I'd happily stay at another time of year, but never again in hot weather. Avoid if temperatures are >27°C in the afternoon in June. A minor niggle: the shower is constrained to the width of the narrow bath, and felt cramped.

The staff without exception were excellent. The rooms are comfortable and adequately equipped. The room allocated was suffered from traffic noises from the front and side but the staff very quickly arranged a transfer to an alternative. This was better but we again had to mention the repeated banging, below us, of what turned out to be one of the kitchen service doors. This was ommediately addressed, spoon wedged under it. The bathrooms are quite dated with older style sanitaryware and shower controls. Not thermostatically controlled. Would we stay again, probably not although I would reiterate, staff and service were excellent.

We had a nice, cosy and quiet night’s sleep. The room is lovely, the bathroom is a little dated. There are loads of delicious breakfast options. Not the hotel’s fault, but we mad major issues arranging a taxi to the event we were attending, so if you need a taxi I recommend booking well in advance rather than on the day. We used a taxi company called ‘The Firm’ and they were excellent, even though they couldn’t drop us off (and we had to take our car) they picked us up from the event and took us back in the morning to collect our car.

Room was clean but situated next to the road which was busy. The breakfast was served cold and not very tasty. However the sunday lunch was excellent and served on a hot plate. Staff in the bar friendly and approachable. The atea of Long Melford has plenty to see and do thus the hotel is an ideal spot to stay.

We had a nice, cosy and quiet night’s sleep. The room is lovely, the bathroom is a little dated. There are loads of delicious breakfast options. Not the hotel’s fault, but we mad major issues arranging a taxi to the event we were attending, so if you need a taxi I recommend booking well in advance rather than on the day. We used a taxi company called ‘The Firm’ and they were excellent, even though they couldn’t drop us off (and we had to take our car) they picked us up from the event and took us back in the morning to collect our car.

Staff are very friendly, food is very good and reasonably priced. The building is lovely and full of character, however the rooms are simply decorated. The location is excellent. Unfortunately, there were no parking spaces when we arrived in the afternoon so we had to park down the street, but parking is free in Long Melford so this wasn't a problem.

We spent a pleasant night here with a very spacious room and comfortable bed, although the bathroom felt a touch old-fashioned. Our evening meals, in the bar, were OK, nothing special, although service was quite slow, and for some reason we couldn’t use a Greene King drink voucher despite it being a Greene King pub ! Breakfast selection the following morning was good and the smoked salmon and scrambled egg, freshly cooked from the hot menu, was excellent. Parking is in a courtyard behind the hotel and although we were able to use it space seemed quite tight.

Beautiful hotel with an amazing history. Upon arrival we received a very warm welcome, the staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful throughout. Our room was prepared by Lindsay, Jo & Sally and they did a remarkable job it was immaculate. Extremely comfortable king size bed and the shower was fab, superb water pressure. Great bar area to relax in before dining and the breakfast choice catered for everyone. Thank you for a wonderful stay and most certainly we will be back.

Great food in the evening. Breakfast experience less so, just not great with the cleaner hoovering around you at 7am. Breakfast order not offered for ten minutes. Room I was in was incredibly noisy from the bar till 11pm and then from 4am with traffic noise. Staff great, room clean and warm, and as I said good food.

Helpful Staff, wonderful characterful place. Nice comfy bed and clean. The floor boards 'creek' a bit but this is expected and adds to the old character of the Hotel. Overall it was great and super facilities (bar and dining etc). Breakfast was quickly served and a good selection.

Room did not seem used for a while. Dead flies & cobwebs on the windowsill. Unfortunately very busy hotel. Breakfast good on first morning but only one waitress looking after busy restaurant on the second. Had to wait for table to be cleared. No clean tables available . No fresh fruit. All croissants gone & no pastries left . Told no more available . Had to wait 40 minutes before cooked breakfast served. Not impressed. Food in bar really good in the evening. Good value for money. Ladies in the bar very friendly & couldn’t do enough to help.
