Stayed in the cottage. Beds were atrocious. Springs could be felt right through the mattress. Shocking really. Very pleasant otherwise, but the shoddy beds ruined the experience. I’m not a complainer, but this was unacceptable.

We had a lovely couple of nights at the Bear Hotel. Room was well appointed and spotlessly clean. Only very slight negative on room, was that on our first night, we could only get luke-warm water from the shower. Ate in the restaurant and meal was good quality overall. Service in restaurant was a little slow and lacking some attention to detail but pleasant all the same. Will happily return to stay here again, and plan to do so.

Exceeded expectations - very dog friendly!
The check in was brilliant - big thanks to the staff member who checked me and my 2 dogs in and showed us to the room and where to take the dogs for a run in the park! Room really good size and the shower was amazing. Every thing just as you want for a quick overnight stay. Parking easy and the breakfast was fab and again dog friendly.

My only negative was that the wifi would not connect in my room - even when given an alternative network and password. It connected without issue elsewhere in the hotel. Food and room were lovely

Quaint with cheerful helpful staff.
I had a single room at the front of the hotel. It was clean and tidy. I had a comfortable night. I’d like some EV charging in the car park, but there are some near the town hall a short walk away.
