In the heart of the National Forest, this early 18th-century pub provides modern, cosily furnished rooms with free Wi-Fi. It is just 5 minutes’ drive from Swadlincote, and East Midlands Airport is 15 miles away.
Every elegant room at The Bull’s Head includes either a private bathroom or access to shared facilities. There is a flat-screen TV and free tea and coffee facilities in each room for guests to relax with.
Hearty, full English breakfasts are served every day, and homemade, traditional dishes are provided in the pub. Sunday lunch is served every week, and guests can enjoy a range of real ales and a varied wine list.
Scenic countryside walks can be experienced from just outside this historic pub. Free parking is available, and Burton upon Trent is a 15-minute drive away. Nottingham can be reached in less than 40 minutes by car.
