We have stayed at the Bull several times over the years and since becoming an Inn Collection hotel some changes have been made that have been to the detriment of our visit. No deal breakers per se, but little frustrating issues. We stayed in a suite room, which was lovely and very clean and comfortable but missing staple items such as no bottles of water in the room, no towelling robes and no walk in shower. The restaurant was only OK, although service from Jackie was excellent (thanks Jackie, see you again soon) but the menu was rather pub grub and I really struggled to find something on the menu that jumped out at me. In the end, my wife had fish and chips, which was good and I had sea bass with pearl couscous, which was cooked well but just ok. Breakfast was disappointing. No kippers on the menu now, and the poached eggs (well cooked) were served on a dry piece of thin white toast and not the thick, buttered farmhouse bread listed on the menu. When I queried this, the server was unaware of this omission and stated that the eggs were always served on white sliced bread (poor show). I must say that all of the staff we spoke to were lovely and friendly. We didn’t use the bar on this visit, but did notice that it was very very quiet whenever we looked in and that’s a surprising change from what we have experienced in the past. It’s usually a busy, buzzing atmosphere in the bar. We love Beaumaris and we do love staying at the Bull. We will be back, but would be very disappointed if these issues are not addressed.
