The Bull Hotel

What an incredible discovery! We needed a place to stay for the Coldplay concert outside the city centre, and this hotel was absolutely ideal. Conveniently located for train travel from Gerrard's Cross, it made our trip so easy. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, with a special thanks to Rose for her thoughtful gesture of grabbing extra tea bags. Everyone was so kind, and the hotel truly feels like a hidden gem. The garden and patio are absolutely stunning, creating a peaceful outdoor space. Plus, the food was really delicious. Highly recommended!

Our stay here was overall fine. I had booked direct so included a free drink and breakfast. The room was spacious (no aircon) and price reasonable. It is well located for the town and easy walk to the train station (we were going to an event at Wembley). However the gentleman on reception was far from friendly, quite dismissive and rude when we asked if they had Sky Sports. Also, check in was 3pm (we arrived at 1230) and it was clear rooms were available but only if we paid a £30 per room surcharge for early check in! We returned at 2 and rooms were still unavailable but was told by someone else to come back at 2.45. The gentleman from earlier was back on at 2.45 and was still obtuse until we advised him his colleague had told us to return at this time. Maybe he was having a bad day but he needs to think about his customer service skills as first impressions count! Breakfast was buffet style with good quality sausage and bacon and a wide variety. However the orange juice was poor quality as it was very watery. Overall, it is a hotel I would stay at again as I think we would be unfortunate to encounter such self-importance again…

We stayed at the Bull Hotel on a 5 day coach tour with Acklams in August.||First impression is of a very smart reception area which smells lovely.||The conservatory/bar area is very nice over looking the gardens where if you are lucky enough you might see the wild parakeets flying around.||Our room was very clean albeit a bit tired especially the bathroom, we are in our 70s and found it hard to step in and out of the bath as it was too high for us. We enjoyed a very good nights sleep, very comfy beds and the room was extremely quiet.|Our board was breakfast and evening meal, the food was quite nice but the down side was as a group of mainly aged over seventies we were offered buffet style meals only, not very good considering some of the group needed help, if you have a walking stick it makes things difficult having to carry plates etc. We have never stayed in a hotel where wine was not served with the evening meal, we had to purchase in the bar area and take through into the dining room. We couldn’t sit where we wanted to at dinner as only enough tables for the group were set with ‘water jugs’! I must point out you can eat in the conservatory but not as a group, so felt a bit like a second rate client.|We enjoyed our stay but wouldn’t return because of said problems.

We had our wedding here on 1sept. To say it was perfect !! We were taken care of by Georgia from the wedding team , she did us proud .with her help and all the staff working that day made our day special and magical .

The room was amazing,the bed was so comfy and the bathroom wow, I didn't want to leave . So thank you Georgia and to the bull hotel for giving us such an amazing day xx

Stayed here the night before an early flight from Heathrow. Nice welcome, great location, easy to find with plenty of free parking. Free drink if you book direct. Lots of choice at breakfast! Would highly recommend. Staff were all friendly & professional.

We were more than pleased with our staying here. We only spent one night, but we wished we stayed more! Rooms clean and spacious; the beds big and comfortable, had a really good rest, which was what we needed. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, lovely terrace and garden outside - green and very well kept. The staff were very polite and helpful, everything exceeded expectations. Definitely recommend!

Went here for a family meal for my brothers 40th. His partner had hired out the garden room which was absolutely lovely and very private. The service was great nothing was too much for the staff. They were all really friendly and polite. The gardens were lovely and very well maintained. I personally didn't stay in the rooms however a couple of guests did so I was able to see the rooms. They were lovely rooms very spacious and decorated lovely. The Jacuzzi baths were a massive hit especially with my nephew and niece who did stay. Everyone had a great time and I know a lot of who attended are planning another visit soon for afternoon tea a day of relaxing, followed by dinner.

I stayed for one night at the Bull hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room spotlessly clean and well equipped. I love having a fridge in the room. The shower got nice and hot. The bed was a bit hard and pillows deep and firm. A choice of pillows would be nice (it may have been available but there were none in the wardrobe and no signs to say it was available). Food was delicious and the restaurant/bar area a really nice atmosphere. Decent parking. Nice and quiet at night. I'll stay again when in the area.

The purpose of our visit was to host a business presentation. Before that, we had a high tea which started to arrive slowly but it was worth waiting for. An ambundance of sandwiches and other bites was well presented on the trays. At another occasion, we had a choice from the menu that I found a bit reduced considering it being a hotel - but the basics were well-spread from a dressed hamburger to a tasty curry (it could be real Indian) and of course pastas and salads. But if you're spending a holiday you will esperience the need to have your dinners somewhere else and that may involve a drive to the next town (at least). The presentation room was available and neat, easy to access and to prepare so we could start in time. After the meeting, we gathered for drinks, in a good atmosphere but when people from the group left the seats were quickly rearranged giving to other members of the company the impression they needed to leave as well. Conclusion - a well presented, efficient accommodation for whatever you like to do. It could use a bit of personality and eagerness to make the clients stay longer (which creates more consumptions!).

Ah The Bull. Probably the most confusing layout of a hotel I've ever stayed in. Granted, England is a very old country and so the hotels are not the modern monoliths I am accustomed to. My co workers and I were booked here as it is one of the nicer accommodations near Pinewood Studios. This hotel struck me as a very business oriented hotel, not a place where one would go for a holiday (holiday is vacation in American English). The hotel features several large ballrooms used for conferences and they also have a beautiful garden in which they host weddings. The hotel is shaped like a square 'U' with the main areas being the bottom of the U and the rooms being the two uprights. To get to our rooms we had to walk through the Jack Shrimpton bar and snake our way past several doors and through 4 different corridors. The car park surrounds the hotel and there are more convenient entrances from those areas but our driver always dropped us of at the front of the hotel. The room I was in was big enough for two. The bathroom featured a very high bath with a fixed shower head, the standard heated towel rack. The bed was plenty firm and the little safe was just large enough for my American money and knick knacks I didn't want to lug around in my purse. Something that struck me right away was the lack of a clock. None to be had in the room. Time would be shown on the TV screen if you pushed the button but then it would disappear after 45 seconds or so. So bring an alarm clock, use your phone or schedule a wake up call if you need one. The mini bar/mini fridge in my room had also been taken out. Strange and kind of a deal breaker for me. I like keeping my own water and snacks in my own fridge, I eat a lot, what can I say. The blackout curtains worked really well for me. The bay windows made for an odd shape but the curtains were hardy enough that you could tuck them into one another to prevent the sun from leaking in at 5 in the morning (Oh English summers). It was funny how the two different bars at the hotel served different drinks. The Jack Shrimpton featured more ales on tap but had set hours. The other unnamed bar was pretty much 24 hours but had a limited selection of beers. So if you wanted a different beer you'd have to walk a bit back to the JS bar. Not a big deal. Because there weren't a lot of eateries within walking distance most of our stay there we ate at the bar or the Beeches Restaurant. The bar food was actually pretty good and the triple cooked chips (fries) were very nice. Alas, it is bar food so it was a lot of grease that my body was not that OK with. Overall the hotel is very nice but due to the old construction the hotel itself is very loud. I could hear everyone walking outside and all of the heavy doors slamming as businessmen left early in the morning. It was a little unnerving and since I was only there for a week, I never really got used to it. On one of the last nights we were there the Bull was hosting a wedding reception. They left a note in the room saying to expect some noise and that the complimentary breakfast bar in morning would be busy at certain times, which they indicated with a red, yellow and green time frames. The party wasn't too crazy, I could hear the music until 1:30 AM but it was a Friday, so not a huge deal. I wouldn't go calling this a 5 star hotel and I really just took a star off a four for the noise of the door and people walking around. If you're a fitness nut, the area surrounding offers some beautiful countryside to jog in and is relatively safe, even in the early morning. Overall, not a bad place to stay in Gerards Cross.

Some of my colleagues didn't like this hotel when they stayed. I actually enjoyed it. Well, I liked the room, the free wi-fi, the trouser press mounted on the wall and the restaurant. That was the majority of my experience and so I'd stay again. I wasn't warned on checking in that if I took the nearest elevator from the lobby that I'd still have to haul my suitcase up a couple of short series of stairs -- no bueno. That architect must've been on drugs, seriously. I wouldn't recommend trying to find your room drunk. Ah, and the one slightly scary thing about the room -- I actually locked myself IN the room. Yup, IN. Those pesky tiny press locks that set in a bike-type cable lock ended up sticking. So when I was trying to leave to check out and get my taxi to the airport, I could not fully open the effing door. I was about to freak out but then I took one of their remotes and hammered that sucker open. Whew. So, be sober with the skills of MacGyver and not afraid of a little exercise, and you'll enjoy the hotel just fine. Seriously.

We booked as a party of 11 adults and 5 children for Santa and buffet lunch the children enjoyed Santa and the buffet was very nice the price was £29.50 per adult which also was quite reasonable unfortunately one of our party was very ill with norovirus so we decided it would be best for them to stay at home we thought we might have got a refund especially being so considerate but this was not to be so anybody booking here be prepared to lose your payment should anybody not turn up
