There has been an Inn on the site since the 17th Century. It was then operating as a Cider House. In the early 1930’s the Inn caught fire and was then rebuilt in 1937. Further alternations were made in 2006/2007 to include a new Skittle Alley and Large Function Room and Ensuite Accommodation.

The Bull Inn Swyre was one of the last roadhouses to be built in England in the 1930s, enabling Mrs Bessie Case to offer ‘hotel accommodation’ in time for Defence Area status and use by the 1st Infantry Division of the United States Army later in the Second World War.
