The Bull Hotel
About
The Bull Ditchling is a historic 16th‑century pub and boutique hotel tucked into the picturesque village of Ditchling, South East England. With six comfortable, character‑filled bedrooms perched above the pub, guests enjoy the same warmth and charm that has made the venue a beloved local landmark for generations. The pub’s cosy bar, complete with an open fire, offers a full menu of traditional British classics – from crispy fish & chips and hearty pies to family‑friendly Sunday roasts and seasonal specialties – all prepared by head chef Henri using local produce from the village’s own farms. Dogs are welcomed in the rooms (with special amenities such as beds, hampers and treats), making it an ideal choice for pet‑loving travellers. Whether you’re stopping for a quick meal, staying for a weekend getaway, or catching up with friends over a pint beside the fire, The Bull delivers a genuine Sussex pub experience with a touch of rural elegance, friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere for families, couples and history enthusiasts alike.
