"Enjoyed the stay at the Bear Hotel"

8.0

Had a great stay at The Bear Hotel. Love its charm and the feel of a true English hotel. It’s been here 500+ years. We stayed in a front room that looked over the Wantage Market Square. The room was fine, very clean, and the bed was comfy. However if you are tall, like over 5’ 9” you must watch your head and you probably won’t fit in the shower. Staff were all excellent! Love the breakfast that came with the room, delicious!

Room was clean and well stocked great for a one night stay but could do with updating. Although parking is off site it is right next to the hotel and reasonably priced.

It’s a quirky place. Good decoration in main restaurant and bar but the rooms need updating. Very noisy at the front of the property in the room and the shower was terrible and sink didn’t drain. Staff lovely and the food great.
