Historic Charm in the National Forest
In the heart of the National Forest, this late 16th-century former pub provides modern, cosily furnished rooms with free Wi-Fi. It is just a 5-minute 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.
There are two fabulous pubs within walking distance of the bed and breakfast, both located in the village of Hartshorne: The Admiral Rodney, serving great cask ales, and The Jennings rooms at The Mill Wheel, serving great food.
Scenic countryside walks can be experienced from just outside this historic former 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.
