"Earlier this month my wife and I returned to the Bull Hotel where we spent part of our honeymoon 25 years ago. From the outside very little had changed, but the hotel is now owned by the Barkby Group so we anticipated that some internal refurbishment may have taken place. Sadly, that was not the case and whilst the public areas are quite characterful, the bedrooms appear to be largely unchanged. As our stay was just two nights we had booked a small double, but it was really unsuitable as a double room with hardly any space, no wardrobe, no chest of drawers and a window with no view which barely opened. The weather was hot and we struggled to sleep as a consequence. At check-out we noticed that the room rate had been hiked to wipe out the saving we should have achieved as a result of the temporary VAT reduction. Like elsewhere in the Cotswolds, it appears that greedy owners are increasing prices and lining their pockets instead of using the VAT cut generate additional business. The one positive note was that most of the staff were very friendly and helpful, although it should be said that the Hotel Manager failed to speak to me on two occasions after requesting a conversation with her."
