I stayed here overnight for an early business meeting - I wish I was here for leisure! What an absolute little gem of a pub - traditional decor, traditional food and the most traditional British service from a lovely friendly team. Jayne and her team members really make this place worth visiting - their host skills and friendly nature were worth every penny.

I stayed in Room 1, a quirky little room at the top of the crooked pub. The ensuite bathroom was spotlessly clean and the little touches (light up mirror, bin, lovely bodywash etc) made it perfect. Some hotels I have stayed in don't even have a full length mirror! The lovely comfy bed with handy tea facilities, bottled water and biscuits made a perfect rest stop after my long drive. I didn't bother with the TV but it was adequate. I was greeted by the pub dogs on the stairs the next morning, so I stayed for a scritchy scratch and cuddles!

The breakfast was amazing - granola, fresh fruit and tea / coffee, with a choice of hot breakfast cooked to order. I chose the \"Savoy\", smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, which was absolutely delicious. All in all, I absolutely loved my stay here and wish it was closer for a weekend away with husband!

The only slight downside (and not the fault of the hotel) was the lack of convenient parking. There is a local car park with complicated rules (different tiers of parking, free after 10pm but you have to pay from 6am, so bang goes that lovely lie-in!)

Spacious comfortable clean bedroom & en-suite bathroom. Very helpful landlady, accommodating us arriving early and giving us early access to our room. Delicious breakfast - berries, yogurt, muesli and cooked breakfast of your choice. Cooked fresh and just the way we like it. Only downside is that you need to park in the nearby car park (not cheap & designed to catch you out) or on the street.

The Bull is a delightfully traditional and cosy inn. It has a lovely atmosphere and the staff, especially Jayne, were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent.. Our bedroom was very nice but we found the bed very creaky and there was rather too much noise from the traffic than we'd have liked. Otherwise we'd have given top marks..

I spent two nights here during the Henley Festval. Good value for money.
It’s on the main street, so a bit of traffic noise quite late in the evening. Mattress was too soft for my taste.
Staff couldn’t have nicer; I asked for a packed breakfast as I was leaving very early and the landlady, Jayne, pulled out all the stops. Thank you, Jayne.

A warm welcome awaits at the Bull!

We have just returned from an overnight stay at the Bull at Wargrave. The Bull is a gorgeous Tudor pub with rooms in the heart of the village. The location is ideal for exploring the surrounding areas, with Henley on Thames being only a 15 min. drive away. Bare in mind that the country roads are very narrow and parking is at a premium. The Bull does not offer parking, but there is a very convenient and extremely reasonably priced Pay Display car park only a few meters away.
Our room had everything we needed: a comfy bed, tea and coffee making facilities, bottled water, a TV and ample storage. The bathroom had a shower over bath with great water pressure. Everything was spotlessly clean.
We were greeted on arrival by Jane the landlady, who could not have been more accommodating! We had dinner in the pub and can highly recommend the incredible fish pie. Breakfast was plentiful and cooked to order, with lots of delicious local produce on offer.
We would highly recommend the Bull at Wargrave and would definitely return in the future.

Bull at Wargrave

Wargrave is right by Henley and after a most ill advised stay in Henley, this year I ventured a stop further afield and was well-rewarded by my adventure. The Bull is one of only two pubs in the village, and provides large comfortable rooms in a listed building with strong wooden beams. The pub is not loud, and the rom I slept in was very quiet despite the pub being on a 4 way crossing. However the cars on the road in front of the pub are stopped at a light much further back. The breakfast was ample, and the best value that I have had in my last twenty stays around the globe.

Wonderful overnight stay!

Brilliant overnight stay - we were two sets of couples staying after a friend's wedding. Jayne and her staff were very friendly and accommodating - making checking in very easy and after hours return to the pub was no problem. The rooms very clean, tidy and cosy with a good range of the amenities, including for making tea and coffee. Breakfast was fantastic, service was excellent and the food was delicious- we can't thank Janye and her team enough for a lovely stay, which only added to the enjoyment of being back in the area to celebrate our friends' marriage. Highly recommend this lovely bed and breakfast pub!

Lovely old pub, with upstairs accommodation; both tastefully furnished. Rare to get the feeling nowadays that you are entering a home, rather than a business.
As previous reviews attest to, Jayne is a wonderful hostess - and couldn't make you feel more welcome. She calmly goes about making sure that you have all that you want and need (including realistic vegan options for breakfast!). Thoroughly recommend The Bull.
