We stayed here with our son who is nearly 3, and he didn't want to leave. The indoor playroom is as well-equipped as any nursery, and the garden is big and perfect for running off some energy. It was also fantastic to have a separate room for our son to sleep in, at a price that didn't break the bank.... More

We stayed here in Autumn 2009. I'm writing a review now 'cos I thinking of going back and saw this website and well, I've started to type. I am sure it would not have changed since I went there, but it was a while ago now so while I am a bit hazy on details I still have strong impressions... More

if you are looking for contemporary decor and slick service then this isn't the place for you. however, if you want somewhere that offers spacious accomodation that is reasonably clean, and friendly, welcoming service then you'll love it. 5* luxury it is not but we never felt worried about the children scratching expensive furniture and never felt we had to...

Refreshing experience, the Bulstone had a lot of character and a warm and friendly atmosphere. There was plenty for the kids to do, a playroom as well as a large garden with plenty of toys kept them entertained during the stay! Food was great and rooms were of a good standard. Recommend the Bulstone to any families looking to stay... More

What more could we ask? Can't believe the moaners. We are a family with two boys who have stayed for one week at the Bulstone Hotel almost every... More

We stayed here some months ago, and have been meaning to write a review for a while now. I found the website led me to a false sense of high expectation with this hotel. I was disappointed. The hotel is in need of some love, but the owners are very accommodating. It really depends on what you want from your... More

Nothing really wrong, friendly and great breakfast, but room felt like a boarding house. Cheap carpets. Grey Lino bathroom. Tiny tv with poor reception. Cost double what it should have in my opinion.
