Built in 1692, The Bull Hotel was originally an important Coaching Inn, used frequently by the 'Beehive Coach' which ran between London and Wellingborough as a stopping house. Throughout it's time it was responsible for holding important meetings for the Inland Revenue (1883) as well as a popular venue for Dinners and Auctions.
Rest your head within these traditional 17th century walls, in the heart of the stunning market town of Olney. Our selection of modern/vintage rooms offer something for every taste and a comfortable and relaxing stay for all. Each of our 13 en suite bedrooms has its own unique design and a perfectly balanced combination of the traditional and contemporary. Expect eclectic upcycled furniture, comfy mattresses and 100% cotton premium linen, alongside a selection of luxury toiletries and teas & coffees. We can assure you that a stay at the Bull Hotel is quite unlike any other.
Olney is a market town and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes, South East England. It is also part of the ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire, with a population of around 6,500 people. It lies on the River Great Ouse, very close to the borders with Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire and equidistant from Northampton, Bedford and Milton Keynes. It has easy access to the M1 at Junction 14 (approximately seven miles) and fast train links to London from Milton Keynes Central or Bedford (each approximately twelve miles distant). It is a popular tourist destination, perhaps best known for the Olney Pancake Race[2] and for the Olney Hymns by William Cowper and John Newton.
