The Bear Hotel

Good

Very helpful staff and service first attitude. Very convenient for the race course

Amazing staff and amazing food. Recommend a visit. A ew odd cracks but its an old building. But nothing crazy. Was great place and easy to travel to tourist areas

Friendly and helpful staff. Good ambience. On site parking.

Rooms well appointed but general decor and finishing to walls needed some tlc, peeling paint etc

Unfortunately my stay here was not the greatest. The rooms are looking shabby, the bed is possibly the most uncomfortable I've slept on (with pretty much non-existent pillows), and the food was poor (cold soup and 'sourdough bruschetta' which turned out to be a toasted piece of packaged sliced bread with barely cooked pan fried peppers & onions). Disappointing. The staff were lovely though - which is why I'm ashamed to say I didn't bring up the problems at the time.

I would recommend this lovely pub and hotel to anyone, staff was so lovely and welcoming the room was up there with the best ive stay in, and absolutely spotless with a queen size bed 10/10

Property was booked so we could watch the football live on the Sunday afternoon. However, the employee in the bar area could not be asked to put it on although we asked politely and kindly so we had to pay taxis to go to another town to watch the football. The property was also so busy with drinkers on the Saturday night that it was impossible to eat there and once again, we had to pay taxis to go and eat somewhere else! In the end we paid a lot of money for convenience and ended up having to spend more and being unable to use the facilities! Not great!

Hotel and Bar - the great atmosphere of real England

Not the best of experiences. Very odd check in ! Took an age to get into the car park (I ended up having to enter the property as no one was answering the gate phone or my attempts calling the property) no apologies made either. Room key only works after 3 attempts. Very small room which was ok but the bathroom very dated.
