First time staying here and loved it. Had an issue with first room, but was sorted out immediately and given another room which was just amazing.
Will look at staying again in the future.

The room was very clean. There wasnt a lock on the bathroom door which didn't bother us but might not be the same for someone else staying in our room. The staff were amazing as always. This is our third time staying here and every time we've had a lovely stay, lovely food and always felt so welcoming
All staff very friendly .
Nice clean room - I looked at all the usual missed bits .
The room was really hot , a team member did try and turn the radiator off for me but it didn’t work unfortunately. I could open the window and there was a fan .
I would certainly stay again .
The Bull is in a great location for Peterborough city centre. Close to shops, restaurants and the cathedral.
The staff were friendly and professional.
The bar was nice, a good selection of drinks. They were kind enough to make us sandwiches well after midnight.
Unfortunately the rooms are quite tired, looking quite grubby. The car park was also partially flooded.
I wouldn't rate this as a four star hotel, compared to other four stars I've stayed in. The room decor is tired and there's limited extras in the room, eg no biscuits or sundries you sometimes get. My room was over the boiler and although I slept well (with ear plugs which I always take) the vibrations kept me awake on my second night.
However, this is the best hotel I've stayed in Peterborough. The downstairs is comfortable and characterful. The staff are excellent and that makes up for a lot. The breakfast was pleasant but could be improved.
I had a little trouble finding the car park but the receptionist was brilliant in helping me out and giving me a pre-printed map and an accurate post code for my SatNav. Check-in was seamless. Food was excellent. Wonderful ambience in the bar. Comfy room.
Central city location, just a short stroll to the New Theatre, and Lido. Comfortable (though dated) bedrooms. Welcoming communual bar and lounge facilities. Free on site parking was a bonus. We booked two double rooms for two nights. Staff were very pleasant and accommodating, and by prior arrangement, allocated us adjacent rooms.

Good locacation ,good food ,relaxing atmosphere, room a tad small ,plus pigeons roosting on the window sill ,but we will be going back for another ,so that says it all
This is our second stay here and once again we've had a lovely time, so much so ive booked anothe stay for December. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean and our room was perfect for us. The hotel is in the city centre and is a short walk from the cinema, many pubs, restaurants and shops.
Thought the hotel was so lovely and the fact that the parking was free was so good and that the hotel was so near everything would definitely go back

Have stayed number of times and this is a hotel with a great location, friendly staff and free car parking in the hotel private car park. Breakfast is excellent and a good choice of drinks at the bar. Only issue is the stairs to the room having to carry luggage !
Beds were very comfy, pillow not so great.
Good size rooms and very clean.
Staff were friendly. Would stay again.

Hotel not easy to locate due to one way system and car park a further journey to find once booked in. Staff an food excellent,rooms have all that is required but still could be updated more.Limited drawer space to unpack and use if staying one night. We do appreciate this is an old building
Lovely character property, very comfortable beds and convenient, the bath and shower in need of repair and modernisation though but overall a pleasant stay.
Had a very comfortable one night stay at The Bull Inn in a standard double room. Room was very clean and equipped as you would expect. Staff very very friendly and helpful. Would happily stay again.
The Bull Hotel proved to be a great choice for a quick stopover in Peterborough (7 minute walk from the train station). It’s an older hotel but has lots of charm. I’d recommend it for a short stay. A surprisingly good price was an extra bonus !
