The Bull is a favorite spot for my Peterborough stays. True English character and historic appeal with all the needed modern conveniences. Solid free wifi walking distance from the remarkable Peterborough Cathedral and modern Westgate Shopping Mall. I recommend the Executive Rooms which are more spacious than Standard Rooms and have the convenience of modern heating & air conditioning. The... More

I have stayed 4 times now at the Bull. Rooms have been done up and are small but nice, main areas are ready for a good clean up. What I just don't get every time is their refusal to pre-authorise credit cards. As Well as insisting on charging all rooms in advance, they make you physicall PAY £50 on your... More

Highstandardsuk, I am disappointed with your review. and it was not a case of not trusting you. We simply took a pre authorisation on your card, a proces adopted by th majority of hotels, airlines, theatres, even on line shopping etc in this country. This will then guarantee payment to us for services that we provide. As you know, and... More

In reverse order ladies & gents. Toast toasted on one side. Fire alarm went off at 06:30 - false alarm but gets the blood flowing as you rapidly pull your trousers on over your pyjamas. Wi-fi on the blink. Could clearly hear lady on phone in room next door. Water in shower hot but water from tap not even warm.... More
