Bath as badly stained by limescale and not actually a bath! Just a water collection point for the shower. Wash hand basin cracked. Waited a very long time to have my dinner order taken at table. Order was incorrect but was ok in the end.

Plenty of parking, very friendly staff. Room was a lovely size and bathroom had a bath and shower cubicle, which was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately the heating wasn't working in our room and ended up with a temporary fan heater, that was the noisiest ever! Breakfast ok, but felt bacon and sausage reheated.

The first room we were offer smelt damp and no hot water. Raised these concerns and was offered a much enter room. The staff were polite and Louise was a pure delight accommodating all enquirers with a smile and cheerful disposition. Looking around the place I can see it is need of some investment, a lick of paint, minor repairs and maybe some safety mirrors so that staff don’t have to shout “Corner” when approaching a blind spot on a corner whilst carrying hot food around. Meal was good value and the breakfast ample. We enjoyed our first stay n Hungerford and The Bear Hotel helped make this a memorable visit.

The car park was ok and is free. Check in was ok.Made coffee, kettle leaked everywhere.ended up standing it on hand towel to boil. Went to the bar, a green king pub that doesnt have any green king ales unless purchased in a bottle? We didn't eat in the pub as felt it wasn't up to standard.The shower whilst very hot leaked everywhere over the bathroom floor. Had to use our towels to mop it up. Went out for the day, returning early evening. No one had been in our room no clean towels, bins not emptied had even run out of loo paper! My partner went in search of a member of staff. Had a number at reception to call.a chap arrived with towels and apologised, said he would raise with management. Awful loud live music - Vera Lynn style on the Saturday night. We would not return

The hotel is an old property with our room in an annex attached to the main building with access via a courtyard. Our large first floor room was comfortable although a touch noisy with road traffic in the morning.

Good weekend stay

Windows of the bedroom are only single glazed so there is a bit of road noise. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom adequate. Staff friendly and welcoming, breakfast very good and evening meals are typical pub grub at pub grub prices. Good size car park.
