Would recommend. ##### Zoe Woodham This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya Cook 9 Jun 2025 #### We loved this place for it's peace and tranquillity as well as being warm clean and very comfortable We loved this place for it's peace and tranquillity as well as being warm clean and very comfortable. We weren't expecting quite such a narrow lane on the approach to the property but it wasn't a problem for us either. Lots to see and do only a short drive away. ##### Tanya Cook This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### JIM MATTHEWS 4 Jul 2025 #### The Bull Pen was ideal for the week being extremely peaceful and comfortable. The Bull Pen was ideal for the week being extremely peaceful and comfortable. We appreciated little extras like the cake and the flowers (and the yellow plums you dropped by with were delicious). Breakfast outside every morning was a bonus.We loved seeing the alpacas tortoise and dogs, and the green woodpecker who was usually a morning visitor was a delightful surprise. The wi-fi was good and reliable too.It was also a good base for places to go to if you enjoy nature and bird wildlife especially, without spending too long in the car.Thank you for making the Bull Pen available for others, like ourselves, to experience this lovely part of England. ##### JIM MATTHEWS
