The Bull Hotel

The refurbished rooms are lovely and the bed large and extremely comfy. The room we had looked onto the pub owned by the hotel & so noisy customers outside meant sleep came when they went home.

Breakfast is catered by the cafe below the rooms which is not part of the hotel and I found the menu extremely poor and didn’t really like any of the options. No cooked full English or traditional options - just a choice of 4 random options such as scrambled egg or beans on toast, pancakes with lemon and sugar, melted cheese bagel with gherkins & another option which I can’t remember. Orange juice had 3 cubes of ice in it to make the glass look fuller, so had to drink it quickly before it was watered down by the melting ice. If you wanted anything from the cafes breakfast menu and not hotel guest fixed menu then you had to pay for it in full and cannot mix and add items from cafe menu to fixed menu. It makes you think the cafe does not want to cater for hotel guests.

I would advise not booking a room with breakfast as it’s a waste of money - better off finding a ‘Spoons for that.

The Hotel itself though is lovely, just a shame about the breakfast. 



Poor breakfast which is a shame

I went to the bull on Saturday night and the staff were lovely! We were the only ones there for an hour or two and the staff were excellent and really friendly and couldn’t do more for us! Definitely go back. The cocktails were very good too!

Great evening out

This hotel is now a disgrace! I have stayed here many times during the time I had to come to Milton Keynes. It then, was a great place to stay. Recently I had to return to MK for the funeral(!) of an old friend. This was obviously important to me. Booked into the Bull, my old haunt, only to find on arrival, that it was closed. What an appalling way to treat prospective customers! Avoid! Do not indulge this establishment, especially its new owners. Look at all recent reviews, not the ols ones , when it was a fine place! The Cock Hotel, or the Old George are better alternatives In Stony Stratford. Do not book into the Bull!!

Absolute Charlatan management.

It’s shut!  Booked the hotel on line, direct on their website, and had the confirmation email.  Was really looking forward to it as the hotel was lovely the last time we stayed (two years ago).  Arrived at 8.30 pm, ready for a nice evening and a two night stay and the place was closed.  Went to the Cock pub next door who informed us that it has been shut for a while when Covid hit!  unbelievable!  They are still taking bookings and credit card details too!  Really disappointed.  The Cock Inn however was lovely and accommodating and we will leave a very positive review on their site.

Don’t book it…its shut!!

My partner and I had to stay for two nights as I had a medical treatment and had moved from the area.  We couldn’t have had better service.  Friendly attentive staff - every one, made it a very pleasant stay.  Decent food and very good value for money.  Stony Stratford is a pretty town and so much more homely than staying in a Milton Keynes anonymous chain hotel.  Music was a little loud in our room but that may not have come from the hotel itself.  Aside from that - well done.  Lovely smiley people, doing their very best.

Excellent - friendly staff, great value

We visited the Bull just before the recent lockdown, the meal was fantastic, Becky looked after us perfectly we had visited for the first time back in August, she remembered us from our first visit. We will definitely be going back when we are able to. Roll on December.

Fantastic meal

Amazing service and food. I came for an special occassion and it didn't disapoint. The roast dinner was absolutely delicious. 
Our room was nice and tidy, the decoration was pleasant and the bed was really cosy. If I ever come back to Stony, I will defenitely choose this hotel again.
A great point is that the hotel follows the Covid safety rules religiously, everything was clean and properly desinfected, so I felt compfortable and safe at every time.

Amazing Service, compfortable rooms

Never coming here again. The drinks were far too overpriced, no drinks menu or wine list so we didn’t even know what there was to offer. I have never being to an establishment where the staff were that rude, no joy or friendliness - walking zombies. One of the servers started walking away as I was giving him my drinks order. Just completely baffled by how we were treated by the most rude staff and the ridiculous and unnecessary prices. Wouldn’t recommend to my cat.

Wouldn’t mind if we were barred

First visit for Sunday lunch today - food tasted great and there was plenty of it - really good value - service was very good and staff very attentive - a bit of work needed on the roast potatoes as they were too big and not roasted enough but not the end of the world  …………………here comes the but …………the price of the wine was ridiculous - a Merlot that can be purchased for £9.79 charged at £22! - prices need reviewing otherwise next time we’ll order tap water

Ridiculous price of Wine

Covid precautions fantastic, with guidance for Track and Trace, had great soup for lunch with separate croutons and cheesy french bread.  Really properly hot cup of cappuccino, best I’ve had. Staff helpful and wearing masks.
