- Paul (10/5): -
- Tys (6/5): - Price and location Shower was blocked
- Philip Rennie (7/5): Above a pub on the town square. - Located above a pub on the town square. Very close to the station for all you public transport afficionardos. Nice big room, plenty of power sockets. Shower could do with a deep clean. It was a bit lively outside on the night I stayed.
- ell:D (10/5): -
- Bolam (5/5): - Location Not enough pillows and a wardrobe for clothing rather tha a hanging rail
- Julie (4/5): -
- geoff (8/5): good value for money with friendly staff - Returning user of this hotel, great location for me. good food in the pub so no need to venture out, modern clean rooms. staff helpful. breakfast from a sandwich shop opposite the hotel which has great food. needs darker curtains, the blinds let in a little too much light. can be a bit noisy from the take away ship outside but not really an issue
- kerry (10/5): -
- Harry (10/5): -
- Tracey (6/5): -
- Amanda (6/5): You get what you pay for. - Large room with good shower. Noise from pub below, teenagers congregating outside guest doorway. Mould in shower cubicle, stain on duvet cover.
- Garry (3/5): Dont book if your hoping to be fed! - Good location. Decor in restraunt very nice. Food not available even though between normal food serving hours. Early start long journey long day we were looking forward to having food once we checked in.
- LAR (8/5): -
- geoff (8/5): Helpful people - the rooms are modern, clean and of a good size. Staff very helpful. i have an Assistance Dog and they helped me with the stairs. excellent food in the pub. curtains are better than blinds in my view. the blinds dont really keep all the light out
- Jones (10/5): -
- Nick (7/5): -
- Carl (8/5): -
- John (7/5): Short stay - Location is great, staff very friendly. Clean and comfortable - but the facilities in the rooms are very basic. Basic hotel
- DAISUKE (6/5): Thank you - 連泊を希望したが、快く受けてくれて、値段にも満足出来た。 部屋の鍵が壊れていた
- Lynne (8/5): I was not put off by the noise and would book again - Very friendly staff lovely clean room value for money Unfortunately it was quite noisy as there was an event taking place later afternoon until the pub closed
- Andrej (9/5): -
- Ray (8/5): - It was exactly what I needed for a night's stay for work.
- Susan (2/5): To many teenagers out side throwing a rugby ball around my car .they very noisy up until 11.30 - Didn’t have breakfast Nothing much would never go again
- Fiona Elizabeth (5/5): Need to staff the kitchen - Nothing No food
- Alan (8/5): Overall very pleased - The location No breakfast or food available at the times I was there
- Seddon (5/5): My opinion of it for my stay - The staff were pleasant and the meal we had was nice .the bed was comfortable Only had one pillow each ..the bed was comfy...very basic for the money room has kettle ..cups and tea..coffee etc ..but for 2 guests only 1 chair to sit on .. does not have any extras in the room ie hair dryer ...and no mirror in the bathroom ....handle missing off one of the windows so lucky we didn't need to use the window .. traffic throughout the night was continuous and there is a clock out there which chimes 5 strikes every 15 mins so didn't get much sleep over the 2 night stay ...also misleading regarding parking as they don't have a car park we had to park in the carpark opposite and was fine there luckily ...also we didn't know until we got there on the Tuesday that the kitchen is not open on a weds so no food was available ..so we went out to eat ...also where our room is you can access it from the bar but not always so you need to go outside and use a separate door on the street to get to your room ..we stayed on a Tuesday and weds night ... .I probably won't stay there again. ..as it wasn't for me as found the car parking and the kitchen not being open on the weds a bit of a surprise as didn't know that until we actually got there and as it said they had free parking we was told that they no longer have it as building company had taken over it when we asked at the bar where the cra park is but when I book places I always check for parking so felt but disappointed in that as was misleading in the booking reference ....

- Funghi (3/5): Acceptable rooms in a good location, food was basic but good. - The location is ideal. But there is more hotel parking and parking on the square is restricted to disc parking. So, had to park in Tesco. The breakfast was good,, but not served until 10000 and was not included in the room rate. Dinner was good and service was OK but amateur. We were informed that breakfast was not included. We had to pay separately. Also it was not available until 1000. Bot Friday and Saturday nights there was loud music in Workies Bar and people leaving at 2 AM. We did not get much sleep. The beds were old and uncomfortable. Though the rooms were clean. My sister's room the heating did not work and the TV kept coming on automatically. So we had to unplug it. There was only bars of soap available and no shampoo. The bar staff were businesslike, but not over friendly.
- Franz (10/5): Lovely thanks - Service excellent Clean Lovely room Nothing
- Angela Peel-White (8/5): very handy place to stay - Clean,warm well appointed rooms -apparently built where a night club used to be! Easy location - parking on the street No food be eaten in the rooms which was a shame with a pizzaplace just across the road. When you turn off the main light an eerie green security light comes on so the room doesn't go dark -so it was bit hard to get to sleep. If I end up staying there again I'll take an eye mask
- Paul (8/5): - Very helpful staff, great food and beer
- frank (5/5): -
- Kai (9/5): -
- Simon (4/5): One night stay at the Bear - Just stayed one night for work. A very very basic room, the window would not open at the top but whistled most of the night (as quite windy) No parking was available (only the square opposite the pub). Also no breakfast was available, normal lunch food menu from noon. I certainly was an experience😵💫😵💫😵💫
- Evie (8/5): -
- Paul (2/5): - The room was cold on entry as window open, wind was howling, but no handle on the window (was broken and on windowsill) so window could not be closed/secured. There was a plastic bag over the smoke alarm. Shower full of mould and stank. 1 bed in the room had a foot missing. (I have photo evidence of all the above). Parking 20m? Yes, but limited spaces and only free after 6pm-8am. Alternative car park a small route march, which is a challenge in bad weather. If ANY other options available, do yourself a favour and do not choose this location!
- Maykarie (7/5): - There was a huge error with Booking.com (Yet again Booking.com) Sue was very professional, polite and courteous! Sue went out of her way to make phone calls to ensure the issue was resolved. Think the cleaners had missed that room (A lot of thick cobwebs up to the left of the window) The shower cubicle had a lot of mould and bad lime scale, unable to shower
- Irene (7/5): -
- Helen (8/5): - I had a great overnight stay at the bear on the square. The only problem was parking. I worried about leaving my car parked on the square but had no choice. Maybe having some designated parking for the b and b guests would help with this.
- Mark (8/5): Great value accommodation and a friendly lively bar, certainly on a Friday night! - Right in the heart of the town, with a lively evening bar. Good selection of beers and spirits, and very cheap compared to most venues. Big bedroom with lots of coffee and tea, without needing to bother reception etc.
- David (10/5): - The cleaning staff were polite and helpful. A simple room with minimal amenities. Clean and comfortable.
- Jacqui (4/5): - Was generally clean ⁹ Had a smell of old cigarettes everywhere, the noise was significant from outside. TV kept turning itself on through the night. There was a plastic bag over the smoke detector. Said there was parking, but there wasn't, the parking was on just streets around or risking a ticket on the square itself. Loads of people congregate by the door in smoking from the pub/working mens club, which to a female felt really intimidating to have to walk through.
- Ian (9/5): -
- Emma (7/5): Clean and comfortable stay. - Pleasant staff. Comfy bed. It felt basic, but comfortable. Would be really useful to have WiFi code available in room.
- Chris (9/5): - Spotlessly clean room
- Maeliah (8/5): Great stay, great staff - Room size was nice, staff were friendly, room was clean, shower was great. Room was incredibly hot and there was no way to cool down, Tv remote didn’t work well
- Kerry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Steve (7/5): Good -
- Sabrina (10/5): Exceptional - Was everything we needed. Staff and locals were very friendly. Room was really clean. We booked an extra night last minute with the staff and it was cheaper than booking.com
- Steve (7/5): Good value, good location, just noisy - Nice well appointed and clean room No food available and late loud music from the bar
- Michael (8/5): Very good -
- Don (6/5): - Just spoiled by the constant passing and repassing & accelerating of the same vehicle with a loud exhaust causing noise pollution and this continued until midnight. I must stress that this was not the fault of the residence nevertheless bad enough to be a nuisance. It should also be said that this is budget priced accommodation.
- Veronica (3/5): Adequate soulless room with absolutely no contact with staff. - Convenient location Advertises as B and B without breakfast facility. Initially refused accommodation because I had a Hearing Assistance Dog with me. Took some considerable time to persuade manager to allow access.
- Chiquita (8/5): Very good -
- David (7/5): fine for a night - room was well appointed, good en suite facilities, hot drinks, table fan, very comfy bed. menu looked good value but i didnt eat so cant comment on the food double room was quite small with a small double bed so maybe not for a couple or for more than 1 night. road outside was very noisy, not the pubs fault
- June (8/5): Very good - Central to were I was working Clean and tidy
- Sander (7/5): good thanks - lots of road noise in the morning
- Hilary (8/5): Shame about the noise - The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. The food was great. Rooms roomy, clean and comfortable. We have used The Bear a few times as we have family locally. The noise in the street till 2.30 am coming from the local night club on both nights!
- Keegans (7/5): Good value for price paid. Friendly staff. Cenral location - Left before breakfast served at 10.30 but good deli shop opposite Good choice of pub food in evening - friendly service, enjoyed food Very handy for beggars theatre All ok
- Patricia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mark (9/5): Superb -
- Kieran (10/5): I enjoyed it.clean and comfy and the staff were very friendly and helpful - Local for the reason I was visiting plus everything else was near by. Nothing. It was spot on
- Brian (8/5): Very good -
- Karina (5/5): Passable - Very friendly staff and good location Bedroom and the bathroom need more attention to detail, require painting, and showers regrouting. Cuo chipped, so I was unable to use it. The kettle needed cleaning inside and outside before use.
- David (7/5): I required a simple, lower-cost, single accommodation; and that's what i got. It was fine. - location fine. bed fine. Shower was faulty (reported, didn't need complaint, but would have if staying longer!)
- Helen (8/5): Nice and comfortable for one night - Everything was fine apart from shower The shower in Room 3 needs sorting
- Elizabeth (8/5): Very good - Location was perfect ??
- Paul (10/5): Excellent - Very friendly staff beds really comfy sue on the bar was outstanding
- Shyd (2/5): Poor - No running water and also partner has been bitten by bed bugs all over..
- Karina (5/5): Passable - Location is very good. Very friendly staff, Food very nice and hot Felt rooms were not cleaned as well as they should be . Decor needs repainted . 1 mug in our room was chipped, so it's not usable Had to wash kettle inside and outside before it could be used . Bed noisy and squeaky The shower needs regrouted and hair needs removal from plug holes.
- Janette (8/5): Lovely place to stay - Lovely clean comfortable rooms, staff really helpful and friendly, good location. Food is really good and reasonably priced too Bathroom fan wasn't working and we had no water in first night, staff sorted it really quickly same evening though
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hilary (6/5): Pleasant - Very clean Very loud No breakfast
- John (3/5): Poor - They didn't serve breakfast until 10am. and not at all on a Sunday. That really is hopeless. Very noisy on a Fri night, and outside in the street.
- George (8/5): Very good -
- Mateusz (3/5): Not worth the money. - The overall cleanliness of the room was satisfactory with basic utilities including a kettle, two cups, a spoon, small milk pots, coffee sachet and sugar but that’s it. The room was very overpriced for what it was. Both me and my partner were woken up by loud talking, shouting and slamming doors by the people using the pub downstairs. My partner has returned home after the night stay with an infected bite from the bed. Very disappointed and disgusted.
- Stephen (7/5): Good -
- Sarah-jane (6/5): Good - Comfy beds great warm room Live music, no direction about breakfast times it was served and where
- Margaret (10/5): Good value - Perfect Everything was good
- Tracy (1/5): Bad - Nothing Everything, room was very basic, other people's spilt drinks all over the bedside table, shower needs to be replaced as water just came out the sides, loads of black old soap on shower hand held shower, very thin walls could here next door snoring.
- Emily (8/5): Great 1 night stay. - Friendly staff. Big, warm room. Brilliant shower. Lots of tea and coffee provided. Food downstairs is excellent. The very kind staff let me and my Mum order food at 5pm, instead of waiting until 6pm. Much appreciated! Nothing.
- Damianryoung666 (10/5): Exceptional - Warm, clean and a great shower.
- michelle (6/5): - the overall stay was ok. There were a few teething problems with the electrics (lighting) and toilet door jamming. we were moved to another room then issues again with electrics (lighting and heating) but it got sorted. The staff were on hand to sort things for us and were really helpful. The music below made it hard to sleep as it played until 01.30am and the chimes from the clock in the square didnt help. The room was clean and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. it is only bed and not breakfast. How ever you can buy your breakfast in the pub on a morning we chose to go out for it. Be sure to take items like shower gels shampoo and conditioner hairdryer etc as these are not supplied. you are supplied with a small bar of soap. it was an ok experience i guess staying above a pub has pros and cons and each individual has there own preference. its just not for me. 🙁 try for yourself and then decide 🙂👍
- Taylor (1/5): Bad -
- Paul (8/5): Very good -
- William (10/5): Online photos are accurate: basic, clean, friendly, relatively recently renovated. - Repeat customer. Facility is unchanged from 2022. As before, limited kitchen hours, but they disclose that up front (bakery across the street is fresh each morning...). Online photos are accurate.
- Harry (7/5): Good -
- Whitfield (9/5): Superb -
- Adrian (9/5): Close to the station and supermarket. Very comfortable. - The quietness and convenience of the location. N/A
- Hayley (4/5): Disappointing - The noise in the square right below our windows kept us awake until at least 2am
- Rachel (8/5): - Just what we needed for our visit to Millom. We had an issue in the morning as had no water, but it was fixed as soon as we reported it.
- John (8/5): Very good - no breakfast. Millom is a disc parking town from 8am until 6pm for 1hr then move on.
- Ray (7/5): Good - Breakfast not bad and expensive for what you get
- Andrea (8/5): Very good - Clean and warm with comfortable bed Walls very thin, heard person in the room showering
- joannehW6829JL (10/5): Don't judge a book by it's cover, this is a gem of a place. - Lovely hotel, bright clean spotless bedroom and bathroom.. pristine white fresh bedding, only 1 pillow each, but easily rectified by simply asking for a second. Love the fact, there was a double plug on both sides of the bed, something you don't get in most hotels and definitely not in Premier Inn or Travel Lodge.. and again fantastic there was as standard a fan in the room. The double waterfall shower was very powerful. The amenities tray, was well stocked and proper sized mugs not a cup that holds 2 mouthfuls. I seriously could not fault our stay here, so much so we have booked an extra night. All staff have been friendly and courteous.. Highly recommended 👌
- Avril (7/5): Good food in the pub and clean room - The location and the hotel side was clean Food was good, best halloumi I’ve had The area adjoining the pub to the hotel part could do with a refresh. Wasn’t made clear that you order your food at the bar
- Ian (2/5): Very poor - Did not find it
- Flavius (9/5): Superb -
- Marsha (8/5): Very good -
- Richard (8/5): - The hotel was ideal for my work commitments the following day. The price I paid was reflected in the facilities provided. Great staff and nice bar/ restaurant with really good prices.
