Uncomfortable bed, very hard mattress, nasty lumpy foam filled pillows. A couple of blown lightbulbs, smeary mirrors, toothpaste residue left by a previous guest on the bathroom shelf. No toiletries or box of tissues.

This property is historic and unique, and it is a privilege to be able to stay there. The staff were very helpful. The building is typical of an ancient inn and may not be to everyone's taste, but I loved it. I did not try the food, but the wine selection and the coffee were excellent

Great location in historic coaching inn. A little frayed around the edges but some would call that character. Biggest bugbear was that for the second time in as many stays I had a downstairs room and every time the person above me moved across their floor the floorboards creaked very loudly.

A pleasant, traditional hotel.
A pleasant hotel In a good location. Bed amazing comfortable and clean bathroom. What let it down was the horrible, musty damp smell In the room. Cure this and the stay would have been excellent.

A bit disappointed..
The bed is comfortable, the room is warm. However bathroom cleaning is not great; we never got any spare toilet tissue after it ran out on day 3 (we stayed for 7 nights) and the toilet wasn't cleaned properly. The shower also needs the grouting replaced, and the bathroom door wouldn't close. There was rarely anyone at reception - only once in the whole week. The breakfast staff still need training - offering and topping up tea & coffee, clearing tables (never leave the room empty handed), spoons in the cereals, milk & juice topped up, appropriately dressed (no long sleeves dipping into food), hair tied back - not pleasant to have a long hair decorating the food! And on one occasion we were told to sit at a table that hadn't been cleaned so we had to wipe it ourselves! Ashtrays on the tables outside the bar area were full of cigarette ends floating in rainwater - really disgusting to walk past every morning. Beer cans, rubbish, dropped cloths/sponges were all observed during the week. A manager should be walking around, checking these things throughout the day. It just needs someone to actually care about the place - The Bear's reputation is not good amongst the locals and you are losing business. All of the above we reported over a year ago when we stayed. It's nearly all the same restaurant staff and they are still poorly trained, so not sure if there's really any point in leaving a review as it's obvious no-one pays any attention...

I didn't stay at the hotel as although I left a number of messages on the hotel ansaphone querying whether the room I had ordered online was suitable for my 98 year old Mum they couldn't be bothered to call me back. In the end I couldn't take the risk that the room might involve a climb up lots of stairs or only have a bath so I cancelled the booking losing my money. Very unsatisfactory. The hotel behaved in a very arrogant manner and they need to get a decent switchboard.
