The Pied Bull

The staff

We stayed here as we were going to a concert at the cathedral with my elderly parents and it is only max 5 minute walk, we arrived at around 10 past 3 to a very stern welcome. However we found our room and put our bags in and went back down to the bar to eat, first mistake! We had gammon which served with chips peas and mushrooms, it was horrible my partner nearly threw up, and I left mine, the gentle waiting on us was unfriendly and very abrupt so we didn't complain. When we returned to our room to quickly change my partner jumped into what looked like a lovely shower to find it was luke warm, no biggy I guess, so we changed and left for the concert. When we returned we had a couple of drinks in the bar with the same guy as before and was made to feel uncomfortable by his demeanour, so we went to bed, another quick Luke warm shower to climb into bed with dirty sheets, by this time it was midnight and we were tired so went with it. The following morning two very average full English cost us just short of £34 and a half hour wait with grumpy staff. Do not recommend and we won't be back.

Lovely bar area.... our room was on ground floor. It was small but adequate as only sleeping there. Lovely bathroom, shower was huge. Id stay there again!

Lovely clean room & very quiet, both outside & inside. Comfortable bed. Staff were all very pleasant. Very central, extremely well-situated for both the events we went to at the Theatre & a live gig. mostb

Room clean and cozy but not

As a gold member I should have received a bottle of wine, this didn’t happen. Rooms was tiny, small double bed with very thin mattress. bar and restaurant lovely and breakfast very good

Lovely ground floor room. Spacious and clean. Great central location.

Order breakfast from a menu, juice and cereal at the bar. The staff we interacted with were always polite. The beds were uncomfortable and walls are thin. Glass collection really early on the morning right under the window which didn't help with the lack of sleep

Staff were so helpful , food was amazing, room was spotless and comfy . Location was perfect .

Perfect lovely clean and warm

The girl who checked us in was polite and friendly makes a difference.

Great staff

Lovely attic room but you could hear next door being sick in the night /snoring/coughing . Sadly bed wasn’t comfortable instead of slats you were sleeping on hardboard . Great pub downstairs

Quick and easy check in and out.Great location ,clean and comfy room.Quality breakfast and great bar selection.

Quaint, clean, cosy place with a fantastic breakfast. However, there was a complementary bottle of wine included in our booking which we didn’t get even though the hotel confirmed beforehand. Don’t be fooled if you see this offered!

Great room, great staff, great stay.

Clean room, the staff are very friendly and approachable

Lovely stay and amazing location. Room was very warm. Would definitely return

We have stayed here a few times which we have always enjoyed. This time not as much as we were allocated a room up 3 flights of very steep stairs. It was extremely noisy outside with pubgoers which I know is not the hotels fault who is walking past. It was mad Friday (at Christmas) so was extremely busy. The pressure on the shower was diabolical and was at best a trickle. The carpet in the bedroom was dirty and needs a good clean. We would stay again but prefer other rooms we have stayed in. All staff very pleasant and welcoming. Great location on the high street.

Great pub and hotel. Lovely room and staff very friendly. The Sunday roast was very nice. Location is excellent, right in the city centre.
