Stylish refurbishment of The Bull Hotel in Bridport, Dorset

We love the wonderful county of Dorset, with its lush green countryside and stunning heritage coastline. And now we have a lovely boutique hotel to recommend to Fabulous Fleece customers venturing that way - The Bull Hotel in Bridport.

Why stay at The Bull? Well firstly it's in a fab location at the heart of the bustling market town of Bridport and just a short drive from that gorgeous Dorset coastline. Secondly, the hotel is packed with character and rich history - there has been an establishment where people can stay the night on this site since 1593!

But third and foremost, the hotel's wonderfully individual rooms have just been refurbished and they are now adorned with our soft and luxurious Rare Breed sheepskins to add extra homeliness and comfort!

A stylish makeover

The hotel re-opened this spring after two months closure while its interiors were transformed. Simple Simon, the talented interior design company behind The Bull Hotel's stylish makeover, wanted to add comfort and luxury to the unique rooms by including sheepskin rugs to some of the schemes. So we supplied them with the thick and beautifully soft Rare Breed sheepskins that you see here.

Each of The Bull's inviting and gorgeous new-look rooms has their own unique design and features… some have vintage roll-top tubs, or grandstand views of Bridport street-life from original bay windows. Three rooms even have a grand four-poster bed.

Taking a tour

Below we've highlighted four of the new-look rooms, although we're finding it hard to pick a favourite with each having its own quirky charms!

First up is no. 101 - The Gold Room - a deluxe double with a six-foot brass bed over looking Bridport's main street through huge bay windows. We particularly love that striking gold patterned wallpaper by Cole and Son.

Then there's the characterful room 202 - The Deep Blue - that celebrates the hotel's proximity to the sea where bright teal paint is paired with the wonderfully fishy wallpaper behind the grand bed.

We also love the look of Forest Four Poster room as a restful and inviting retreat. This Master Double features a stunning carved wooden four poster bed and an old Victorian fireplace in the ensuite that was uncovered during the renovations.

Then there's The Mews, which features an original 16th century archway that had been exposed and shows wonderful old brickwork behind. There's also more striking wallpaper - its colours really match with the tones of the sheepskin rug used in this room.

There are 19 individually furnished rooms in total - all absolutely gorgeous - plus a host of other fab facilities The hotel serves up wonderful food from a menu packed with local produce, plus there's the cosy Venner cocktail bar, a games room and even a pizza and cider restaurant in the old stables.

However, we're particularly enticed by the welcoming courtyard garden in the original stable yard - just the place to sit down on a warm summer's evening and enjoy a gin and tonic!

If looking for a stylish yet homely place to stay in the beautiful county of Dorset, we'd say this boutique hotel looks like the perfect bolthole. For more info, visit the hotel's website: www.thebullhotel.co.uk
