What guests think
The Bull Hotel is a historic, characterful inn in central Fairford where guests often praise its friendly, helpful staff, while noting occasional quirks of an old building and some early‑morning street noise.
Many enjoyed dinners and Sunday roasts, but breakfast can feel pricey or slow, pre‑ordering is required, and a few reported bar or kitchen closing earlier than expected. Rooms range from spacious and cosy to small or dark; beds are widely praised, though guests mention low fixtures, limited storage or views, and occasional maintenance, damp or cleanliness issues. The location is a convenient base for the Cotswolds, with a cosy bar and fire, while parking is typically on the nearby square and market days can limit immediate spaces. Expect a welcoming, old‑world stay with good food and a few practical trade‑offs.

Facilities
Characterful pub spaces with a cosy fire and outdoor areas are appreciated. Parking is usually on or near the square rather than dedicated on site, and a few areas were under renovation or would benefit from some TLC.

A cute little hotel is a small charming town. There is a parking area right in front of the hotel. So this is very convenient because most likely you will need to take a car to explore to the Cotswold area.

Really nice ,traditional building with lots of quirky areas to sit, eat and drink. Nice area to sit outside the front of the hotel, there was an area at the back but looked like renovations/repairs were going on and was a bit untidy. Our room was ok but we were a bit disappointed - we knew it was going to be small but it was very dark and we were looking out to tiles on a roof ! Well presented ,ok for 1 night and the bed was very comfy. We had an evening meal in one of their restaurants and were very impressed with the quality, choice and price - would thoroughly recommend and the staff were very attentive. No parking on site but ample room on the square outside the front door which was free or there was another free car park up the road.

Unfortunately I could not park in the car park adjacent to the hotel due to a Christmas market but I found a parking spot which was only a 5 minute walk. The staff the bar area and the food really made this such a lovely experience. My waitress was so attentive. My room was so warm and welcoming, this place has so much history and it shows abundance with the fixtures and fittings. When I arrived for breakfast there was a fire already burning such a relaxed environment. The £15 breakfast wow what value for money, set me up for the day. I loved my stay so much I will definitely be returning for a few nights, this hotel has everything friendly helpful staff, great food,great rooms

A lovely hotel. Room was above the restaurant and bar, but this was not an issue. The room itself was beautiful and rustic, but a little quirky. The bed was confortable and the shower was clean and very servicable. There is quite a bit of audible street noise from early in the morning (the hotel is right on the village/town square). It didn't bother me but might be an issue for really light sleepers. Overall, an extremely pleasant stay and very good value for money.

A quaint hotel. It was very quiet, not sure if that was because of the bank holiday. The pub and restaurant were great and check in was quick and friendly. The room was very small and unfortunately, our view was the dumpster for the kitchen. We met a few locals while having a pint. Overall a great place!

The room and en-suite bathroom were very good, considering the vintage of the property; they were large enough and adequately clean. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I only used the TV a couple of times but the reception was extremely poor, rendering viewing difficult and unsatisfactory - this should be fixed. Breakfast is good, but the necessity to pre-order the evening before is not guest-friendly, as it is a pain to have to remember to place the order and book a time.

Overall we were pleased with our two night stay in this characterful old coaching inn. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. Our room was very spacious but there was very little storage space e.g. no drawers just six hangers on a rail so for longer stays that might be an inconvenience. The shower in the bathroom was excellent but again there was nowhere to put toiletries except a very small glass shelf. Also there was no shaver point for charging toothbrushes or shavers. We did find it unusual that the tv was placed directly over the sofa so we couldn’t sit on the sofa and watch tv.😊

I had a pleasant first night at The Bull and a lovely breakfast. However the second night I stayed it rained heavily all night. The guttering opposite my room was blocked with moss as well as the roofing about being damaged resulting in the very loud sound similar to a running tap. I got very little sleep ahead of an exam followed by a 7 hour drive home. Having passed the info and pictures on I was told sorry and will pass onto the manager. Had thought there may be a need for some compensation since the main part of a hotel room is a sound sleep, especially ahead of an important day. I had mentioned to them i would hope to stay again when returning to the area but now not sure I will.

This was the worst hotel we stayed among 9 hotels in this area. We chose because of reviews. Coffee machine was not clean. Cheap shampoo and soap. Smelly room. Next door is laundry room. Few choices of food. Difficult access from major roads. Soft bed. So on. I stayed a sweet, but experienced poor quality motel.

An olde world hotel with sloping floors, pleasant decor, comfortable bed, nice shower room, good restaurant, great location in town, which means you get some noise from early deliveries to the shops opposite. A great location for the Cotswolds.

Hotel is in a great central location for Fairford and the pub itself is very much in keeping with the period style it was built. Being in the market place, if you have a front facing room do expect some early morning noise from deliveries to the co-op and other shops. It’s not the fault of the hotel but might help you consider a rear facing room if you’re a light sleeper. The room is comfortable and our towels were swapped for the second day. Cups weren’t washed up but that’s a minor niggle and I’m old enough to wash up myself! The one thing that always aggrieves me in any hotel ( granted some people don’t mind) is the fact you have to order your breakfast the night before. Here they have a good selection but as with any establishment that offers this type of service, it’s very much hit n miss if you actually want what you order when you actually get there the next morning. I hate to waste food so I think for me there needs to be a workaround if I change my mind.

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews
Dining
Food is widely praised, especially dinners and Sunday roast, with many noting good quality and value. Breakfast draws mixed feedback due to price, mandatory pre‑ordering and occasional slow service, and some nights saw the kitchen or bar close earlier than expected.

Bar timing was not kept. First night we got food was still being served after 2200, second night told food stopped at 2100. Tried to order food at 2025 told by bar staff ok 5 minutes later he told us they had stopped serving food. Then the bar closed at 2200, and not 2300 like we were told by the front desk.

Enjoyed our stay here but not quite as nice as it’s portrayed in its pictures. The staff were lovely and friendly and the burger was delicious for dinner. The breakfast room and breakfast items definitely not worth £15 per person!

Get the Junior suite. They were great although a little quirky. However....it is a very old building and that "old feel" is to be expected. We stayed three nights and the food and service was fantastic!

Loved our stay! Booked a Junior Suite and it didn't disappoint. The room was clean and spacious, the bed was really comfortable! Found the staff lovely too. Booked a table for 4 for the Saturday evening and the food was lovely. We had a full English breakfast the Sunday morning and it was ok but felt it was a little overpriced at £15 per head for what we got, apart from that ***** 5 stars!

Brilliant stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room- junior suite. Was great, rustic as you’d expect from an old building. Lots of charm but brilliantly styled and decorated but keeping the traditional craftsmanship of the beams and braces. Very nice en-suite. Food in the restaurant in the evening was great. Lots of flavour and well cooked. Breakfast, again great. Good selection of cereal/pastries etc. full English was 5 star. Would stay again.

The room was spotless and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. My only criticism is that there was insufficient drawer space in the room for clothes, which is why the rating is four stars rather than five.
