Welcome to The Bull, a Grade II-listed coaching inn, gloriously situated on the Market Square in Fairford, a picture-perfect market town in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. The Bull now offers both restaurant and private dining spaces and a traditional pub bar, with open fires, and serving local craft beers, spirits and great wines. There’s also a traditional, vaulted barn, The Bull Room, for weddings and parties for up to 50 guests. BAFTA nominated set designer, Corina Burrough and interior designer Jo Titchener, worked to create The Bull’s beautifully refurbished interiors throughout, including its 21 individually furnished, en-suite bedrooms. The Bull also has private fishing rights to a 1.25-mile stretch of the River Coln with excellent fishing for grayling and trout, making it a popular base for fly-fishing trips. Rods cost from £50pp a day for up to five people.

The check-in process was very easy. Once we checked in, we realised there was an issue with the toilet flush. We reported it and the receptionist immediately gave us another apartment. The room was clean. We found free parking outside of the hotel. A mini-market is exactly opposite the hotel. I would not recommend the breakfast. However, I would suggest trying the roast beef and the pork. I would recommend the hotel for a short stay.

Fantastic roast, incredible staff! We had a slap up roast lunch for 40 friends and family at The Bull following our son’s christening. lt was a triumph! We were able to use the beautiful private function room, which was all set up with name places, table cloths, sound system etc. The staff could not have been more helpful, both in the planning before hand and on the day. As for the food - absolutely exquisite! All our guests commented afterwards how delicious the roast was, from the succulent medium rare beef, to the beautifully cooked sides, and a special mention for the excellent gravy which came alongside in plentiful jugs without us even having to ask. All in all, a truly brilliant experience - can’t recommend The Bull more highly!

Popped in for a quick lunch in the week. I was impressed from the off with the customer service as the young man looked very busy, but still took the time to welcome us. Thankyou Mike. Atmosphere and food was excellent, although a little draftee where we chose to sit. Will defiantly come back again

Second visit but definitely won’t be our last. Wonderful surroundings, beautiful clean and well-equipped rooms, excellent food and just the nicest, friendliest staff you could wish for. And incredibly good value. Just simply the perfect place to stay when in the area.

We took my father here to celebrate his 70th birthday in January and we were blown away by how good the food and service was. I've visited the pub before for drinks and I'm a big fan of the decor and general layout, but this was the first time eating here. The food was exceptional (all 3 courses) and the staff made us feel so welcome and relaxed. We can't wait to come back. I can't recommend this place highly enough and thanks so much to the staff for making my Dad's day so special.

We booked for a family meal for ten and we weren’t disappointed! Although we had pre ordered our main meals, on arrival we decided we would like starters too and, despite being so many of us, we were beautifully accommodated. Our food arrived quite promptly and was well presented , well portioned and delicious. The service we received was excellent and should be commended. Everything on the menu was competitively and reasonably priced. We had a lovely evening and look forward to a return visit in the near future.

We love the bull probably don’t go as much as we should but have been waiting to be able to go for our normal Christmas drink while our dinner cooks at home as we have done for many years but today we were told unfortunately they weren’t allowing people to have drinks and all the tables were booked! So we were turned away. Such. Shame as the middle of the pub was empty and we were denied our Christmas tradition which since covid we were looking forward to seeing the familiar faces of people we know in our home town and our other friends who were on their way to join us but we had to message and tell them “the bull isn’t allowing people to have drinks and stand so we have been turned away

Booked this last minute after finding it in the 2021 Good Pub Guide. What a find! Quirky room with huge bathroom and a really good menu. Delicious dinner in the restaurant. Would absolutely recommend!
