Hotel in Detail:
Just 7 rooms means you are guaranteed an intimate stay at The Bull & The Hide pub and hotel. For a real alternative to the traditional hotels mostly found in this part of London why not stay at a traditional London pub with its own boutique style hotel rooms. The Bull and Hide is a traditional restaurant as well as a pub but with a modern twist in line with the move to trendy gastro pubs. It is actually three entities in one. The Bull is the pub located on the ground floor while The Hide is the restaurant on the first floor with the hotel element being the 7 bedrooms above The Hide..
Each of the seven guest rooms offer air conditioning, flat–screen TV with SKY satellite channels, coffee machine, private bathroom (with toiletries, rain water shower and hairdryer), desk, free WiFi and extra long beds. Your bed will have a goose down duvet.
All bedrooms have their own name which refers to elements of The Bulls past history.
Botolphs room, (After Saint Botolph the patron saint of travellers), Bedlam, Bishopsgate, Bishopsgate Without (without anything lacking), Devonshire Suite (after Devonshire House), The Hush Heath Suite (after the vineyard and winery), Fishers Folly (the name of the house that was built on this site in 1550) and The Oxford (after the 17th Earl of Oxford).
There are two suites that come with a roll top bath and their own balconies.
Some rooms have a seating area.
The pub serves high quality British food alongside an international selection of wines, beers, ales and ciders. The Hide restaurant on the first floor is a fine dining establishment with a 35 seat capacity and the feel of a private members club.
Other features include 24 hour access, an honesty bar and a well stocked pantry open to guests (beer, water, crisps, candy etc.).
Please note there is no lift at the hotel. Hotel is non–smoking.
