The Bull Inn

The Bull is an an old building sympathetically restored with a blend of modern craftsmanship and heritage design. I stayed in Room 2, which was cosy, and quiet despite the pub being so central and close to the town’s facilities. Loved the dual aspect windows, comfortable bed and crisp white bedlinen. It was spotlessly clean and warm despite the February chill. The en suite bathroom had a modern vibe - fabulous flooring - and was really practical, a great shower, quality toiletries. There were a number of thoughtful touches in the room. There was a Bluetooth speaker provided to play your own music and a few well chosen books. The tea tray contained excellent quality organic teas, plus an insulated container to keep organic milk cool, which you request from the bar. None of those long life milks in plastic to spoil your tea here… There were also extra supplies of everything from bath robes to hairdryers in the cupboard in the hallway. I’m sure the staff would have sorted it promptly had anything else been required. The team here are quietly efficient and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast for me was the veggie full English, with freshly squeezed blood orange juice. Delicious. The pub’s ethical credentials are spotless but it’s worn lightly.

Absolutely wonderful stay can highly recommend the atmosphere, the food, the staff absolutely delightful we will definitely be back.

The food is amazing. It’s certainly a reason to come. And Totnes is a nice town with charm, and a good base for exploring. The rooms were fine. Charming and comfortable, but ours was a bit small (almost too small). Worth a visit for the food and maybe a couple of nights (max).

after hearing rave reviews, a friend and I visited here for lunch Not particularly friendly service…..a huge lunch menu, with far too many herbs and spices listed on the blackboard We were both bitterly disappointed and did mention this to the waitress. We needn’t have bothered left feeling hungry

The Bull Inn looks delightful outside so when you arrive you look forward to stepping inside and when you have done that you're not disappointed - you are given a lovely welcome and the place looks so attractive. The selection of locally sourced food is first class - it is varied and caters for every taste. I visited with 2 friends yesterday (11.12.23) and we chose a selection of 5 small dishes (plus bread). Each and every dish was so delicious it would be impossible to select a favourite. (The Bull does also provide a traditional main meal as well - so there's the option of a traditional meal or a sharing meal). The service was excellent - we were looked after, in the main, by Katherine but her colleagues also ensured we weren't left waiting for anything and brought our orders to the table. Throughout our visit we felt we were in a very welcoming place. We loved loved loved our lunch. I would highly recommend The Bull Inn.

We didn't stay but we had an early sitting dinner at The Bull on 2 December. It was already busy and cocktails looked to be in demand. Service was great and very helpful. We had hake as mains with lovely sourdough and hummus as a starter. The fish was very fresh, well presented and tasty with great contrasting textures. Serving sizes were good. No need for side dishes and we didn't have space for desserts. Booking was essential - this place is popular and rightly so. Will be back for more soon. Nearby car park is free after 6pm, c5 mins walk.

I loved the vintage feel and the green practices of the inn. The staff were all welcoming and helpful.

Popped in for lunch whilst in town today, really delighted that we did! An extensive lunch time menu with a good selection of snacks, light bites and main courses, with something for everyone, not just the veggies! Friendly, attentive and welcoming service and both the presentation and taste of our food was exceptional We’ll done guys, will be returning to try the evening menu very soon

We got back from a 3 night break at The Bull Inn yesterday and we're already looking forward to going again! I picked The Bull Inn as I liked the idea of staying somewhere with a commitment to sustainability and it delivered in spades; organic ones of course! The decor is quirky and interesting and a lot of things are pre-loved and repurposed; think shabby chic on steroids. All the staff (and there are a lot of them) are lovely, professional and knowledgeable. The food is AMAZING! We stayed in room 3 which overlooks the square and were very comfortable. The front of the Inn is a sun trap and we enjoyed sitting outside with a cold cider after a day of exploring. I’m very surprised at some of the negative reviews because we absolutely loved The Bull, but I guess you either get it or you don’t. If you want new everything and TVs then this isn’t the place for you, but if you appreciate something different and ethical trading then I highly recommend it. A big thank you to everyone at The Bull Inn for making our break such a fantastic experience.
