Spotlessly clean if somewhat old fashioned room. Very helpful, friendly staff, and parking was easy. Good dining options. Would stay again.

A nice pub the room was a bit old
Didn't realise that we were in an annexe across the road. We wanted a hotel with the pub onsite. Although just over the road it was miserable weather and that's why we wanted an all in one. The TV remote didn't work but that got resolved and the heating didn't reallyq Ork well. The radiators needed bleeding and we called reception and also messaged but this wasn't resolved.

I WOULD STAY BEAR INN AGAIN
Overall it was a very very good stay for one night. Now the fan in the room was very dusty and even on full power didn't realy give any cool air. Hot breakfast takes a while as it is cooked to order but I think too long.

Lovely hotel. Perfect for a trip into Glastonbury or Clark’s village. Staff were brilliant. Food in restaurant was really good. Downstairs bar area is really lovely comfy and modern. Rooms a bit tired but super comfy bed and very clean.

No response to my previous reply from either Expedia or the Bear Inn itself with my report on arrival of:- -On booking/website there was no notification that the accomodation would be off site, as the rooms inside the actual hotel itself were being renovated, as advised by hotel staff only on arrival, no evidence of this renovation. - The room off site was inferior/impractical/dull/nothing like the pictures shown on the hotel website when booking. - I had to clean spiderwebs off open windows, clean dust/dirt from surfaces in the bathroom and desk on arrival to the off site room as they were filthy. - I reported what looked like blood on the inside of the exterior door of the off site accomodation entrance and this was still there after my three days of residence, great. - My room was serviced/cleaned once only over a three night stay where the website states daily room service. - I tried the hotels dinner on first night, big mistake. Entree Bruschetta was at room temperature, main course curry was the same. Bar staff had no idea about local beers & only response when asked was 'We sell San Miguel alot' and when I chose Amstel beer this went flat very quickly and was not cold. With the contact from Expedia asking for my thoughts on arrival on the day that would be forwarded to the hotel manager, I did so, expecting some level of response but after staying there for three nights I have received only another automated email asking the same question. Hopeless.

Response from The Bear on 7 Aug 2023
Thank you for your Feedback and comments, unfortunately your first response was to a survey that we do not get contact details for which is why we could not respond. We have 3 buildings as part of our hotel, the Main Building and 2 other cottages which is stated on our website. Room service is available daily when, but the housekeepers will not enter your room unless you request them to do so with your door hanger saying ready to clean. I'm sorry that you felt the rooms and service were not up to standard and have sent this back to our hotel teams for review. Despite it not being visible we were having work done in the main hotel, but this may not have had any effect on your booking as they are auto allocated based on the room type you book through expedia. I can only apologies if you felt that the food was not up to standard. If you had said something at the time, we would have been more than happy to rectify this, just as a note the Bruschetta is a cold dish. We thank you for your feedback and will use this to continue to improve. Many Thanks The Bear

We had a fantastic stay at The Bear Inn. The Inn itself is beautiful and both the food and the service were excellent. Our room was comfortable and quite. We will be booking another stay soon.

The only negative was a strange mix up with parking. A member of staff repeatedly told me it wasn’t redeemable against food and drinks purchases as stated in the car park. When I asked to speak to a manager regarding this the decision was instantly reversed?

Good location and good value
Good location, friendly staff and food/drink in the Bear Inn good value. Our room was in an annex down the road. Room was spacious and clean and had everything we needed. It was an old building so had features that come with that age of building, such an an awkward step at the entrance that we kept tripping up, an uneven floor in the bathroom, bad condensation on windows etc. However, none of these things affected the enjoyment of our visit.
