Excellent value for money -...

Liked: The Bear is right in the centre of town, so handy for anyone wanting to see the local attractions (museum and locks, for example). Despite being an old coach inn, the rooms have been furnished to a very good standard, We had an evening meal there as well as the included breakfast the following morning - both excellent. Good parking facilities at the rear (register your vehicle as soon as you check in).
Disliked: Being on the main road, there is some vehicle noise (typical boy-racers in the area). There is an unavoidable climb up the stairs if you're in an upper room... c'est la vie, the Georgians didn't have lifts!

Good

Liked: It was a nice short stay single room 25 was good ,
Disliked: Not to much breakfast could of been abit more tasteful possibly

It was just ok

Liked: We had the family room no23 on the 2nd floor. Whilst there were only two of us this offered a lot of space for our stay. The beds were comfortable but being at the front of the hotel it was noisy with traffic and late night party goers. Also the room is tired and is showing signs of needing to be refurbished. Extractor fan was not working in bathroom and no window to open to help. Very warm room overall. Bedding and towels were lovely - clean and crisp. Staff were friendly too. Value for money? At £125 sorry no it wasn’t. The whole place needs to be loved again with an injection of cash. Breakfast was fine but interesting choice of decor with matching bailer twine for curtain tie backs at all the windows and a need for a deep clean. Wouldn’t take much to get rid of the cobwebs!
