Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the spacious and clean rooms at The Bear, some noting the delightful decor and comfort. The convenient, free on-site parking is a definite plus, and its location allows for walking into town, though some find the hill back a bit challenging, with a £6 Uber ride as an easy alternative. The food, especially breakfast and steak, receives compliments, though a few guests found the sauces lacking flavour. Some rooms may need updating, as mould on the ceiling and dirt on the curtains has been noticed.
