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.

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.

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???

great food - brilliant staff
I thought this hotel was in a quiet village location - WRONG !! one side is - but the other side is right next to the extremely busy road. Note to self - even though i will be staying there next time i'm in the area, i wont in the summer as i will find it impossible to sleep if i have to open a window...... great food and brilliant staff
