Overview

Rich in original character and historic charm, this 500-year-old inn has a welcoming public bar with real ales, an AA Rosette award-winning restaurant and refurbished bedrooms with a boutique twist.

Just 2 miles (3.2 km) from the heart of Mildenhall, the Olde Bull Inn, Barton Mills, has a convenient location, situated between Newmarket (6 miles/10 km), Bury St Edmunds (10 miles/16 km), Ely (12 miles/19 km), and Thetford (7 miles/11 km).

Since the Olde Bull was bought by Cheryl and Wayne in May 2007, it has been lovingly restored and refurbished, with the building's beautiful original features carefully preserved. With a warm, relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, the hotel has won many awards, including the Morning Advertisers' Best Newcomers award and the NBA Best New Business. It was also short-listed for the British Institute of Innkeeping's licensee of the year.

Area information

Nearby places of interest include:

Cambridge - The traditional university city boasting the magnificent King’s College Chapel, Fitzwilliam Museum and a wealth of splendid college buildings with well manicured grounds, many bordering the delightful River Cam, the area known as the 'backs' – you can see it all from a punt.

Bury St Edmunds - With plenty to explore, whether you’re passionate about history or art, shopping or food, there is something for all to experience and enjoy. Here in AD 869 Edmund, King of East Anglia was beheaded by invading Danes and later a Benedictine abbey was built around Edmund’s shrine, the remains of which may be seen in the beautiful Abbey Gardens. You can also discover the Nutshell, Britain’s smallest pub!

Newmarket - Newmarket proudly flies the flag of British racing, one of the most passionate sports in the world. With the 2 racecourses standing proudly on the end of the town, Newmarket is the greatest window that horse racing could ever hope to have. Along from the racecourse is the National Stud, home to many of the country’s finest horses. In the town itself is the National Horse Racing Museum, the Jockey Club and the famous Tattersalls (where racehorses are sold).

Ely - An ancient cathedral city, made more famous by the residency of Oliver Cromwell. Soak up the atmosphere of Ely as you browse the gift shops, craft shops, antique shops and art galleries or simply sit by the river with a glass of wine and relax.
