This hotel is beyond the point of being acceptable

The hotel is in desperate need of a full refurbishment which is likely to be substantial The staff are making the best of the situation but the hotel is beyond the point where rooms can legitimately sell to the public. Specifically, the room was dirty. The shower was virtually impossible to switch on and when it came on, it was simply a gush of water. Worst of all, the mattress had collapsed making sleeping a distant dream. One side was ~inches lower than the other meaning one was constantly rolling out the bed. This was acknowledged by the lady on reception as soon i mentioned there was a problem with the room "ah yes, the mattress...." As they had taken my payment upon booking, i had zero leverage. I will take up with Greene king

Satisfactory

It was OK, clean and on a very hot day a fan running in the room which was excellent. It was showing signs of ageing and could do with a revamp. In a single room bed comfy curtains cheap, bathroom old. Evening meal in the bar satisfactory atmosphere and service bit poor. Breakfast was very good indeed and good service.

This is a lovely old building with which I am familiar (40+ years) and is in a great central position with very good transport links. Sadly, the place is looking very tired and is in need of refurbishment. Carpets are looking worn, doors in my room were cracked, windows only open a small distance, wallpaper had lifted away from the wall and furniture was shabby. However, the staff were friendly and attentive, the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable; I slept really well - which is really what is most important to me when I’m travelling. Price was good but it’s a shame that the building and facilities have deteriorated so much.
Although window is frosted - no blind

Great Place

Fabulous stay at The Bear. We were welcomed on arrival and checked in quickly. We had our 2 dogs with us. Tim was very welcoming and friendly. We had a really good breakfast on Saturday morning and again was served by a very friendly lady. It was a great stay, thank you and well done The Bear
