The Bulls Head & Lodge in Trafford

Excellent stay & breakfast. My room was lovely - spacious with a big, comfy bed. It was clean & in good condition. The soundproofing was very good, and they had soft-closing doors, so no loud banging. The shower was great & plenty of hot water. Tea, coffee & biscuits, and there were extra refreshments, including fruit in reception which you could help yourself to, which was an extra I don't normally see & I really liked! The breakfast was really good. One of us had bacon, egg & avocado on muffin and the bacon was beautifully cooked with crispy edges and the eggs perfectly poached. I had the French toast with Greek yoghurt which was gorgeous! All the staff were friendly & helpful. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for only one night but I have to share that we would definitely stay again. The reception staff were so cheerful and helpful. The bar staff were incredibly efficient they worked so well with each other. The owner lady I think is called Nicky, she has trained all these young dynamic guys so well they will be an asset to any business. Breakfast was excellent as was the young man who served us. Thank you from Philip and Ruth

Stayed for one night while visiting family in the area. I booked this hotel based on all the glowing five-star reviews—and honestly, I don’t get it. I paid £126 for the night, and in all fairness, it wasn’t worth half that amount. My first impression was a surly-looking young man at reception who communicated in little more than grunts, gestured vaguely towards an iPad for me to register my car, and then flung the room key in my direction. When I asked where breakfast was served and at what time, his response was simply, “In the breakfast room,” with no further clarification or directions. The room itself was clean, but the mattress was rock solid. There were no power sockets by the bedside, except for an outdated USB-A port, which no modern device uses. Worse still, the socket had a blindingly bright LED built into it, forcing me to pile up clothes on the bedside table just to block the light. I decided to grab a quick dinner in the pub section of the hotel. If you imagine a slightly upmarket Wetherspoons, you’ll get the idea. The food was fine, and there was a decent selection of drinks. However, service was another story. A gormless young man was serving our table, and most of the tables were reserved for a quiz night. When I asked if there were any available tables, he just stared at us blankly—no exaggeration, for a full 30 seconds—before his brain seemed to reboot and he asked, “Do you have a reservation?” Eventually, we found a place to sit and got our order in. When the food arrived, one of the orders was wrong. The same dazed young waiter stood there, plate in hand, staring at me for another 30 seconds before finally realising he needed to go back to the kitchen to fix it. When he returned, he’d forgotten to bring us any cutlery. I understand that mistakes happen, but this lad was in serious need of a wake-up call—or, dare I say, a bit of pride in his work. Overall, The Bulls Head didn’t live up to the hype. The room was overpriced, the service was lacklustre, and the experience left me wondering how it had racked up so many five-star reviews. Would I stay again? Not a chance.

Never stayed as a guest but regularly visit the pub for the quiz. The majority of staff are excellent.

Went for lunch and had fish and chips. I don’t want to sound harsh but it was swimming in Grease. I fund it next to being uneatable but didn’t complain because I didn’t want to ruin it on others. After we left the other a comment what a nice atmosphere but the food was not good. They also mentioned the grease I won’t be going again and would advise caution if you dare. You will find prices to be from 12 to 15+ for the meal which is why I expect a lot better

EXCELLENT STAY AND EVENING DINING AND MORNING BREAKFAST , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED . THANKS TO - THE BREAKFAST TEAM - FAHIM , JACK & CRAIG .

Have just had a wonderful meal and experience at The Bulls Head. The food was wonderful, absolutely loved my spinach and aubergine burger and the Malbec wine - delicious. David the manager made us feel extremely welcome and well looked after. Great time. Thank you x

Another great overnight at the Bulls Head Hotel , warm welcome on essy check in & a fab room , everything you need & a good power shower , comfy night , followed by a SUPERB breakfast (new menu with great new selections ) all cooked to perfection by top chef CRAIG & great table service from Fahim & Jack - highly recommended .

Absolutely great place, always our first port of call when visiting the area. Very friendly staff and excellent, efficient service even when they're busy. A superb selection of drinks, including some really nice beers, the Hopnik is my personal favourite. It's really well appointed throughout and kept very clean and tidy at all times. The staff always make us feel welcome, and make time for a chat and a catch up. There's sometimes even a bit of celeb spotting! We'll be back soon!

Great food, lovely staff and a very professional and attentive manager David who could not of made us feel more welcome …

Excellent hotel, I had a perfect stay which was made even easier by the electric vehicle charging points in the car park which I didn’t expect and saved me time in the morning trying to find a charge station. The unicorn beer in the pub is also one of the nicest pints I’ve ever had! I’m looking forward to my return

Great breakfast and service of high standard! Will be back a again

Great location , great team & fab breakfast

Great pub, great beer selection, great food, great rooms and lovely staff. What's not to like.

Very pleasant stay - and excellent service in the restaurant.

Beautiful food, staff and room. Very impressed.

We booked for a pre flight overnight stay as we don't like airport hotels. Location is great snd very quiet, the rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable, and the staff are pleasant and helpful. The food is delicious!

Would definitely recommend this place to eat. We had family to visit from Surrey. They stayed in the accommodation & we met to eat dinner together. Dave, was very helpful, friendly & entertaining. The restaurant was very busy, but he made a table up for us, 7 to eat. The food was very tasty & there was a great choice. Everything is good value & of great quality. A lovely experience. Well done Nicky & her team.

Absolutely lovely hotel and pub! Well worth a visit!

Had a lovely stay with our dog and the staff couldn't be more helpful. Lovely room and the dog treats were very much appreciated! Breakfast was really good as well. Will definitely be making a return visit.

Travelled up for a 50th birthday and stayed at the pub hotel with a lot of friends and it was excellent. The pub was really friendly, well priced and made us very welcome as a large group. The room was genuinely excellent value, good bed, shower and plenty of tea and coffee it was clean and all worked great. I stay in a lot hotels and this was excellent value for the money. We all had dinner in the restaurant and the food was very good and at a good price. Breakfast was included and just what we all needed the morning after. Overall a very good hotel pub and we had an excellent time and would come back happily. Thanks to the team at the Bulls Head for having us all.

Travelled from South Wales to visit family in Altrincham over the Christmas period. Stayed for 4 nights. Everything was excellent. Rooms were very comfortable and quiet. Staff were very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of choice for breakfasts, which were delicious. Had a family meal at the pub for 11 people, on Christmas Eve. Again, the food was delicious and perfect. Will definitely be returning when next in the area.

I was at the pub not accomodation. The staff in this pub are great . Really helpful and polite. The lady who maybe is the manager , is brilliant. Attentive , friendly and efficient . The food is good and restaurant standard.

I am here becouse of the snow warning there is going in my wife and I had been looking at this hotel a few months back and kinda held back but oh boy I am in for a treat here. The staff at both the hotel and the pub is really doing all they can I am really happy that I am staying here insted of any where else I got an extra night booked just in case I wornt make it back to Danmark I am just having a cozy evening now So even staff should have stars here so to the staff 5/5

Our stay was superb! We were greeted warmly by the lady on reception. The room was large, spotlessly clean, comfortable and had very nice toiletries. There was ample tea and coffee, with more available in reception, including fresh milk. Breakfast was delicious. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely pub with rooms in a great location. Very comfortable and well furnished rooms, clean and modern. Excellent and helpful staff. Would recommend, and always use The Bulls Head when visiting family in the area.

Arrived lovely welcome ...hadn't booked but found a space in the bar area..met with a friend ordered food and few drinks ..had to send my burger back twice... just annoying simple little errors....no salsa dip ..no chunky chips...

Lovely warm welcome by all staff. Very comfortable room. Excellent lunch and breakfast.

Very accommodating staff!! Any need we had was met. Excellent staff, service, and meals! Simply, the best.

Great hotel: excellent staff, beautiful room, lovely shower with good sized towels and perfect breakfast. Slept very well.

Great location with very welcoming staff. The best Christmas dinner I have ever had. It was so good to have the hotel next door to the restaurant. Highly recommended

My family has used this venue for family gatherings over many years. Generally, it is an excellent venue and hotel. On this occasion I encountered a disappointing meal but otherwise had an excellent evening and overnight stay in the hotel.

Got sat in bar when booked for restaurant… staff had an I idea of booing. Lamb steak was blue whan asked for it pink. It got. Sent back and came back well done. Did not come with thick cut chips, but got skinny fries, without being told when ordering. Veg side did not turn up. Offered free desert in place of any sort of discount. When we questioned this manager was a bit abrasive In her response. Eventually agreed on a 20£ refund on a 210£ bill. Will not be returning

Booked lunch today 3 people Service was very poor and slow Ordered two salmons and roast beef The salmon was very dry The roast dinner cabbage one piece of carrot and one small piece of broccoli The cabbage was terrible full of hard pieces inedible Yorkshire Pudding burnt worse roast dinner I had ever tasted left most of the dinner the salmon was so dry they left most of it Ordered coffees they came and had to Be remade The staff seem to be new and had no training ordered wine did Not even open bottle Very disappointed went home to get something to eat Have they changed the chef and manager use to serve good meals

Great pub hotel, very close to the airport, Nice breakfast.

I was so impressed with this place, it's a great set-up and really feels customer-centred. All the staff were so friendly, pro-active and helpful. Anything we needed was dealt with quickly and efficiently, with the bonus of a smile! Special thanks to Gary, who seemed to be able to do absolutely anything, was really friendly and never got flustered.

Great little hotel with everything we needed for a one night stay. Convenient location. Nice having the breakfast in the pub next door and good choice of food included in the breakfast options. I contacted the hotel prior to our stay to ask about a travel cot for my toddler and they were helpful and quick to reply.

Excellent meal and david and the staff were jusr amazing. We stopped for a night, great comfy room. We are definately going again the food and service are just so great, you realky feel at home. See you soon david. Br vikki & jose from mallorca

Family friendly pub. Good food and reasonable prices. Can get a little noisy when busy.

Great staff, hotel and location

Very friendly staff, very comfortable room and a good, freshly cooked breakfast.

Great stay. Large, modern and comfortable room. Had a great sleep and they did a fabulous breakfast. Only small issue was room was a bit cold on arrival wuth only a small gas filled radiator to heat.

I am diabetic I ordered a very weak line and soda. The amount of line cordial made it undrinkable. We offer roast beef Sunday roast. Within 3 minutes of ordering the meal it arrived. To begin with I thought I had ordered soup there was so much busy gravy it was swimming in it. The Yorkshire pudding was dry and stale the parsnips I had one tiny slither two hard roast potatoes and uncooked broccoli. Diners beware. You’d better getting a Birds Eye frozen beef in gravy. £48.00 for dreck.

Great place good choice of food and drinks, great service and nice ambiance

Perfect place to stay for Manchester airport - rooms & service excellent visited the pub for food also excellent & delicious Shout out to Steve fabulous server 👏🏻👏🏻

Only stopped one night, for the airport early next day. Nice place, very accomodating, sort you an early brekkie if you are out early. Will use again.

Lonely good and great food good value will go again very soon

Very comfortable, clean room with good bathroom (overhead shower in bath was great). Good supply of teas/coffee with fresh milk available in fridge by reception. Very good night's sleep. 1/2 star knocked off as service at breakfast was not ideal...we were just shown to table and asked to place order. Not informed that cereals, juices and yoghurt were available in the room next door! And unfortunately, no marmalade available (or so we were informed!). Will definitely stay here again. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending to our fellow travellers!

Standard pub, standard food but with Hale prices. Upsides... the staff were nice and it's dog friendly.

We arrived at the last minute and David ensured that we were comfortable and everything we needed. The meal was enjoyable as was the service from Evie. We were greeted by a smile and offered excellent service

I held my daughters 21st Birthday party in the upstairs function room. It was absolutely perfect! A great size room for 30 family and close friends. We had a delicious buffet and ice buckets of prosecco, wine and beer in the room. David our duty manager looked after us brilliantly, going above and beyond to check that we had everything we needed and that the whole evening ran smooothly. Would highly recommend and will happily use again.

Perfect location for 1 night. Clean room with all you need and a perfect Pub next to it

We held Dad's 90th birthday party on Sunday 29th Sept and it was fabulous. 30 family & friends gathered in "The Snug" to celebrate and eat together. We opted for menu E buffet which was delicious, well prepared and set out. They catered for gluten free and dairy allergies so noone was worried. A very special thanks to Dave who managed the event& was incredibly helpful going above & beyond to make it special. Also big thanks to the other staff for looking after us so well.

Lovely place. Comfortable room and good pub with good food and atmosphere

I stayed here for 3 nights to be near my training academy. So glad I stayed here. Lovely decor, very clean and friendly staff. Pub next door is great and convenient. Can’t fault it. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I would stay there again .

I had an excellent experience during my visit, largely thanks to our waitress, Sophie. She was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that nothing was too much trouble. Her positive attitude and dedication to providing outstanding service truly stood out. With the example she sets, I believe she deserves a leadership role. Thank you, Sophie, for making our meal so enjoyable!

Excellent hotel and pub in a great location with very friendly staff.

Great pub with friendly staff and a good selection of drinks

There was no one at reception to check in with, after calling, had to go to the pub to ask someone. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room very nice, only critism was heavy dust on the fake plants. Breakfast was fantastic. Had an issue getting into my room, but maintenance staff quick to arrive and sort it out.

Rooms and food excellent, staff very friendly and helpful, very close to the airport and will definitely stay there again next time we fly from Manchester, little gem of a place

Called in for a couple after a hard day's graft, we earned it! Very large pub with plenty of outdoor seating at the rear and as with all Robinson's pubs everything was clean and in good order . The staff we had dealings with were chatty and pleasant and the beer ,dizzy blonde up to the mark. May take the missus there one day.

Amazing Service from Evie & Steven, very attentive and helpful.

Just returned from a lovely stay at the Bulls Head , friendly efficient check in from IAN , our room was lovely and clean the bedding clean and fresh , everything you need for a comfy stay , tea/coffee with fresh milk , great power shower and lovely toiletries . Breakfast was wonderful and the service from FAHIM & TERRY was excellent , the breakfast chef CRAIG did a super job of my poached eggs & avocado with smokey bacon mmmm. ALL ROUND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GREAT JOB TO ALL .

Bland roast dinner. No taste . "Supreme" chicken not ..."rich chicken gravy" ..no chance more stock. Roast potatoes need steak knife to cut. Lacked seasoning .

Great pub/restaurant/hotel, ideally located near the airport.

Great looking pub in an affluearea ,down side no sky sports because they don't want a certain crowd but hey ho had a great night before flight next day ,great bar service and had a great meal hosted by Sophie who had a great personality and looked after us very well who went above and beyond, but as a hold all staff were pretty good and we will definitely think of the bulls head for future stays before flights ✈️ 😀 Mr and Mrs power

We did not use the Hotel but had a delightful meal in the Bulls Head, we were waited on by Sophie who was first class and is a credit to the Bulls head. The food was excellent, we will certainly be returning as we had a delightful evening.

The food and the service was amazing I recommend. My server Vicki was so kind and welcoming.

I have stayed at the Bulls Head twice and unfortunately the latest experience (in April 2024) didn't meet expectations. I had opted for a cold breakfast as I was running the Manchester Marathon and so needed to be out of the room before hot food was served. Not only was an item missing, but the yoghurts provided were more than a week out of date and there was nobody at the reception to raise it with. I emailed the pub afterwards and never received a reply nor apology. Not hugely happy with the service, which is a real shame as the food is really good (and the pub is dog friendly!) and the rooms are comfy

Food was amazing and what made it better was Vicky. Vicky was really lovely and was amazing looking after us with drinks and food. Overall, an amazing meal and amazing day out.

I booked a family meal in order to spend time with a family member who was visiting from abroad for 24 hours. Due to issues on the motorway, a number of family members were delayed. David, the manager, was absolutely amazing. He was so friendly and helpful throughout our time at the restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was first class. We will definitely return to this restaurant. I would highly recommend.

Went for a meal with the hubby last night, was greeted by a lovely man called David… we were escorted to our table where this gentleman was very attentive, asking if we had allergies or intolerances to food, we didn’t but it was good to ask.. we got served and fed in a comfortable time giving us time to chat and enjoy the food and the atmosphere.. Well done to this gentleman he made our night being so attentive.

I called in for dinner yesterday evening to be met by a lovely gentleman David he showed us to our table and made us feel very comfortable our meal was delicious David sorted our drinks quickly then checked if our meal was ok over and above a very nice relaxing evening thank you

Lovely venue for a Sunday lazy breakfast. Relaxed atmosphere with nice staff. Offering a good choice of cooked breakfasts and buffet options. Their full English / Welsh breakfast was fantastic value and tasted great! Highly recommended and worth a stop.

Lovely pub, lots of choice for food, good beers on draft

Perfect start to the holiday looking forward to going back at the end.

Traffic an issue as there are road works in the area. Not an issue with the pub but a problem getting there.

Booked 1 night B&B following recommendation from friends with 14 nights car parking whilst abroad. Manchester Airport car parking has worsened in recent years so we were looking for a suitable alternative. I'd highly recommend this accommodation for the high standard of comfort with gorgeous room decor. Complimentary toiletries in the bathroom were not regular but seemed quite high end. We were late checking in & early checking out but the night clerk took our breakfast order which he delivered promptly to our room. Lovely crockery & cutlery & good selection of food available. Convenient location for quick transfer via taxi to the airport. We were upset we didn't have longer at this gorgeous place & will definitely be visiting again! Highly recommended 👌

Had a car show here earlier for charity and we loved the setup and the way management treated us was superb. Sorry edited this because I had to finish it and sent it incomplete by mistake. My experience was brilliant. Thanks again. 😊

Really disappointed with our recent visit for Sunday lunch. I had booked over a week in advance for a table of 8, for a family get together. Upon arriving, we were not greeted by any member of staff although there seemed to be a lot of servers just milling around talking to each other. After becoming tired of waiting, I then approached a server and they went to seat us, only to take us up upstairs for our table to be given to another family, one of the waiters asked if we could move back downstairs, but this would cause hassle for my elderly grandmother going back down the stairs. We were stood in the dining room aimlessly until one server used their initiative and pushed two smaller tables together… not a great start! Once seated, the server stated that multiple food choices were unavailable due to selling out which is disappointing as it was only just after 5 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon. Once we did order, the portion sizes were less than generous and items were either missed off (onion rings from the burger), or late (sides of chips/calamari). The desert was also less than impressive and looked as if it had just been slopped on the plate. This was also missing ingredients. Not once did a server check in with us to ask how our meal was going or if the food was up to standard. To make it even worse, three out of the seven family members have experienced food poisoning through the night after eating the chicken. Very poor experience. We have loved coming here as a family over the years but sadly, our experience yesterday has left us utterly disappointed.

Popped in for the car show, bar was rammed and nobody knew who was next. Tried to order food, but nobody came after 15 minutes, so walked out.

Great location to go to Britfest. Great pub and restaurant. Only downside was we were told breakfast started at 7 on Sunday. Was we were getting a flight that morning it was quite important but breakfast actually started at 8. We had it the day before and it is a good breakfast.

Lovely pub area, Lovely food, Staff helpful and friendly, clean fresh modern rooms...

Lovely location and hotel with a friendly service.

Bathroom wasn’t clean with a dirty floor and the back of the bathroom door is filthy. Breakfast was a joke really. Got there at 9.45 had to await for a table even though there was only 3 tables with people on . Sat down to a dirty table and the staff member said he would clean it in a minute. After ten minutes wait we was asked if we would like some coffee then only to be served with coffee and had to wait 5 minutes for cups, still sat at a half dirty table when the waiter came for the breakfast order I had to ask them to clean the table again. Breakfast came and was missing items on both of them. My wife ordered smashed avocado with chilli flakes and I had the full breakfast. The avocado came sliced and not really ripe with no chilli flakes and mine breakfast came with no black pudding or toast. Yet again we had to go and look for staff to tell them. And from coming in to getting breakfast it had taken 45 minutes. Not impressed with the visit at all this time 🤦‍♂️

Excellent accommodation and the pub food and drink is good value for money. Friendly, helpful staff.

Nice fish and chips kids and main

Room was lovely and very clean. Only thing that let it down was the grouting between the tiles in the bathroom needs to be looked at as it was black around the bath. There was someone at the desk when we checked but there were a lot of times when it was unmanned. When we were in the pub /restaurant attached to the hotel we witnessed the female manager being rude / impolite to both staff and customers.

Just visited the Bulls Head, and can honestly say the service was terrible. We waited over an hour for our meal, and when asked if we could have the child's chips as soon as possible, we were told no. Onion rings stone cold, no coleslaw. Will not be visiting again

Went for a drink with an old friend I hadn’t seen for 40 yrs and 3 weeks got a carpark fine for £100. At no point did any staff ask me if I had parked in the carpark. Typically I don’t scour pub carpark looking for parking signage, particularly on a dark wet evening. I will never ever visit a Robinsons pub ever again, they don’t deserve to be in business, an utter disgrace.

Held a family party here at The Bulls Head. Staff were super helpful, meal choices were correct and delicious. Luckily the sun was shining so we had use of the outside terrace. Rooms were perfect.

Nice clean outside area,car park security you have to enter reg plate Food is delicious recommended philly beef sandwich and fish finger sandwich Food came quickly and lots of it Fish fingers are amazing in a large oval filled with salad and tarte sauce

I really enjoyed the beef pie. Highly recommend.

Our 4th stay at the Bulls Head Hotel and pub. Love it - convenient, clean, great staff, good food and beverages. Would fully recommend! Thanks again!

Stopped for breakfast on the way to Manchester Airport. Far better breakfast than any airport restaurant offers. Will definitely be back.

Big portions of food and friendly staff!

Faultless!! Steve the server was so kind and courteous what a lovely guy! The food was incredible! We couldn’t help but have 3 courses!! The chilli beef was to die for!! My friend had the steak and ale pie and it looked delicious! Creamy mash what more could you want! It was so hard to choose the menu was so varied and so many delicious options! You have to try the chicken salt fries! The lunch menu looked amazing aswell so will definitely be returning… probably next week! Great atmosphere lovely staff and 10/10 chef! Best dinner after a long day at work!

Myself and a colleague were in the area on business and decided to meet up for dinner. The Bull's head is close to the airport and the motorway and seemed ideal. We had a pleasant evening, the bar was busy and the food was standard pub fayre but pleasant. So far, no complaints. However, 19 days later a received in the post a fine from SMART PARKING for £100 (£60 if I paid straight away) for having the audacity to park on the pub car park while I ate my meal in the pub! At no point did any of the staff ask if I was parked in the car park or ask for my registration details (apparently this is the procedure if you wish to bring your car to the Bull's Head). In another similar comment about the parking scam, the management say the parking procedures are clearly displayed in the car park. It was dark and raining and, frankly, when arriving at a pub for a meal, I tend not to enquire about the parking charges. Maybe I'm old fashioned and out of touch. The management also distance themselves from the fines by saying the car park is operated by SMART PARKING and, by implication, the car park is none of their business. However, there's clearly a commercial relationship between the Bull's Head and the company operating the car park on their premises. I'm sure some of my £60 fine will find it's way into the till along with the receipts for the food and drink. Pubs in the UK are closing at an alarming rate due to high costs, taxation and a general decline in pub attendance and it's understandable that publicans should seek to maximise income. However, rinsing customers with a car park scam does not seem, to me at least, the way to go. I've paid my fine and I won't be returning for seconds.

Came here for food prior to airport departure. I had the burger, just a cheap burger, looked very “came out frozen” rather than a proper patty, £15 was well overpriced. Wife had crispy chilli chicken, not that amazing and not that crispy. Asked about fish and chips and how big fish was, waiter used his hands in the international size of a fish language, great big enough for both kids to share. Came out was 3 frozen fish gujons. For £9…. I asked waiter as said fish and chips “sorry must have changed” No requests if we wanted more drinks, nobody asked if food was ok. Won’t be back….
