Did you know?
Thanks to Woodbridge’s strategic position on the east coast, The Bull Inn has witnessed key moments in our military history. From the Grand Old Duke of York marching his men up and down Market Hill, to serving as a conscription centre during the First World War, supporting nearby army and air force bases, and even hosting Winston Churchill during World War II — The Bull has played a small but significant role in our nation's story.

Magificent

Magnificent, the welcome, the beer, the food, the room, the breakfast. I travel a lot and The Bull Inn at Woodbridge is the best place I've stayed at in a long while, and the previous night I was in a four star hotel.

Superb hotel.

We stayed a long weekend to attend a match at Ipswich Town. Superb hotel. Staff brilliantly trained and so helpful. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully appointed. Breakfast was the best we have had at a hotel. We loved our stay and will definitely return.

Exceptional

"Proprietors are wonderful hosts providing an exceptional service - warm, friendly and efficient. This ensures guests can relax in all areas of this historic building whilst enjoying the medieval Market Square on which The Bull occupies a prominent position. The outdoor benches allow guests to enjoy a beverage 'on the Square' creating a continental vibe. In addition the hotel provides first class cuisine including not to be missed breakfasts!"

Wonderful

Stayed at this wonderful hotel in the beautiful town of Woodbridge many times. The hotel is steeped in history, the staff are great and the breakfast is the highlight for me, the frequent traveller.
