Welcome to
the Bull Hotel! Situated along one side of Fairford's famous
market square, much of the building dates from the 15th century when it
used to be a Monk's Chanting House and during recent improvements, a
secret tunnel was discovered from the hotel to the 500 year old St.
Mary's Church. The other part of the hotel is thought to have been
a 16th century hall for a merchant or trade guild.
The first record of the
building being used as a hotel is found in the Torrington Diaries of
1745 which reveal that the Hon John Byng a notoriously critical judge
visited the Bull and awarded it the rare distinction of
"good". By 1792 due to it's situation on the great
London to Gloucester turnpike road, the hotel was famous as a posting
house with stables for 30 horses. The old stables can still be
viewed in the hotel itself.
The Dining Room offers a
full A la Carte menu with a large selection of fresh local
produce. We also offer a large selection of home cooked bar food
at most times during licensing hours. Packed lunches are available for
those who wish to spend the day fishing or touring the countryside.
The Restaurant also
offers a large selection of fine wines and in the Bar we offer a wide
range of beers from traditionally brewed 'Real Ale' to modern lager
beer.
The hotel offers a choice
of 22 bedrooms, each with it's own particular character with sloping
roofs and oak beams. For special occasions, guests can choose
between the George or Bull Suites with their four poster beds or a
double room with a sunken bath.
The Bull Room is
available for conferences, wedding receptions, trade shows or
seminars. Please contact the hotel for further details.
Trout fishing
(April to October) on the
River Coln can be arranged by the hotel. Cotswold Breaks are available
throughout the year - please contact the hotel for further details.
The
Bull Hotel caters for all types of visitor and with it's close proximity
to Swindon, Cirencester, Cheltenham and Gloucester recommends it not
only to holiday visitors and fishermen, but also to people on business
who wish to get away from the standard system built motel type of
accommodation and relax in the surroundings which have the calm and
warmth of an ancient Cotswold Inn.
