A spotlessly clean and cosy Pub come B&B/Hotel. Very comfortable beds ensures a good night sleep and a cracking breakfast. The pub offers great beers and reasonably priced, quality hot & cold food. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. I could recommend The Bulls Head for a great base to explore the area. Gromit Stanley Rating: VERY GOOD

This is an excellent find! Small but totally adequate room with comfy bed and welcome tray. We had a delicious evening meal at great rates and the local beer was superb. Staff are friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for Shane. Great nights sleep and hearty breakfast for an extremely competitive price. Highly recommend!
We ate here twice, while staying in Milnthorpe. On both occasions we found that the food was of very good quality and good value. The service from the staff was excellent. They have three or four guest local ales, so I couldn't decide which one to go for, the member of staff came to my rescue, by letting me try one or two first - very good of her. The atmosphere in the restaurant area is very relaxed and pleasant,which made for a enjoyable evening.
