The inn’s main building dates from the 17th century and has one of the few remaining original King Charles I fireplaces. There are 2 rooms in this building, one being a split-level family room. The structure’s original timber frame can still be seen in this part of the building.

The other rooms are in the 18th and 19th century part of the building. The old stables and coach house have now been converted into 3 double rooms, which are disabled friendly and have large shower rooms. The old hayloft has been converted into a family room.

The Bull was also once the site for the local court. The old courtroom has also recently been refurbished and the original fireplace has been restored to working order.

Thanks to the building’s rich history, much of the refurbishment and restoration has been accomplished with the help of a grant from the East of England Tourist Board.

There are 7 double and twin rooms, all of which are en suite. 3 of these rooms are situated on the ground floor and are suitable for disabled guests, wheelchair users and those with reduced mobility. These rooms have showers only. Dogs can also be accommodated in the ground-floor rooms. 5 of the double and twin rooms have enough room to accommodate an extra bed.

There are also 2 family rooms.

One of the family rooms is situated in the oldest part of the building. This room is split-level and has 3 single beds and one double bed. A cot can also be provided.

The other family room is in the old hayloft and can sleep up to 6. This room has a bath and shower and a separate sitting area.

There is also a cottage, which can accommodate up to 6. The cottage has a double bed, a double sofa bed in the lounge and a set of bunk beds.

A full English breakfast is included in the price. Breakfast is available in the recently refurbished old courtroom.

The public bar and the cosy restaurant have also been restored recently. Both the bar and the restaurant boast original wooden beams and attractive period features including original inglenook fireplaces.

In the bar, the bar top is of Welsh slate, as are 4 half-moon tables, which were originally 2 cutting tables from the famous royal tailors, Gieves & Hawkes at 1 Saville Row, London.
