Bull Hotel

Gambaran keseluruhan

The hotel, dating back to 1450, is prominently situated in the center of Long Melford, boasting the longest high street in East Anglia. Long Melford offers a wealth of interesting gift and antique shops, featured in the 'Lovejoy' TV series, and two stately homes, Melford Hall and Kentwell Hall, known for its Tudor weekends. Nearby, explore splendid Suffolk wool towns like Lavenham and the popular Quay Theatre. Sudbury's bus and railway stations are just 4. 8 km away, while Stansted, Norwich International, and London Luton Airports are approximately 56 km, 97 km, and 140 km away, respectively. The hotel's original timber work, both inside and out, is remarkably well-preserved, with the exterior discovered in 1935 after the removal of a century-old brick façade. A 'Wildman' or 'Woodwose' carving, a medieval symbol believed to ward off evil spirits, adorns a beam in the lounge. Guests immediately sense the building's history upon entering the hall, dominated by massive molded oak beams. Once the town's principal posting house during the coaching era, accommodating travelers from London, Bury St Edmunds, and Norwich, today's guests can relax by the beautiful Elizabethan fireplace in the lounge and admire antique carvings in the Cordell Restaurant. The hotel offers 25 non-smoking guest rooms, a bar, internet access, and ample parking.
