We enjoyed our stay at The Bear. Our room was comfortable and heated up quickly when we put the radiator on. The shower was powerful and easy to control. Our only disappointment was that there was not a cooked breakfast due to staff shortages, but the continental breakfast was sufficient and we did not go short. Overall a very pleasant stay.

One night stay, October 2023
Room very comfortable, quiet and decent size. TV was not working, but no big deal. Staff super-friendly. Restaurant definitely worth taking advantage of. Very nice breakfast.

I thought the room I was in was badly decorated and looked very tired and sad. Certainly nothing near the ad. Bathroom was better with tiling, but no care forfinishing touches, which is a shame. Lots of internal noise intermittently from pipes(?) water. Heating. Staff helpful when approached. Breakfast also nice, with cheerful staff.

Good location with free parking after 18.00 in the public car parks. Breakfast is amazing and should be considered when comparing prices.
