「A wonderful spot. We were welcomed with open arms. The family run hotel has such a wonderful vibe. Felt at home immediately. We opted to have an evening meal as well. The food was very well cooked, well presented and delicious. 」
「It was an absolutely amazing place to stay and eat. The staff were fantastic, very helpful, and friendly. The food was amazing, and everywhere was spotlessly clean.」
「Delightful linens, food, ales, garden... and the staff are wonderful. A hidden gem that is a beautiful getaway easily accessible by car or railroad - or indeed on the Kennet by boat!」
「We (my two adult daughters and myself) just came back from a 12 night stay in the UK. We went to 9 hotels, and this was our favorite! It was so quiet and peaceful there with no outside noise. The setting was beautiful with lots of outside dining spaces. The rooms were nice and the staff was super sweet. Breakfast was amazing with large, cook to order options. We would definitely come back and stay again!」
「The Bear is a lovely old coaching inn and has loads of character which I love. The team including Carina and Lesley were particularly helpful during our stay. I would highly recommend The Bear 」
「There is parking behind the waitrose and staff walked us there after their shift had ended to ensure we understood the parking App since tomorrow is the Farmers Market on High Street and we would have to move the vehicle early. Now it’s all sorted and paid in advance. Of course it’s an older hotel and everything is crooked and settled, but you should come here for that eclectic experience, as we did. I just miss the old mural that was painted in the pub before, replaced by a more modern map. 」
「The staff was very friendly but I have to admit the internet even at times when I could connect was so weak, I couldn’t even access my emails. The shower has a power saver machine on it but the problem is the hot water cycles from cold to warm to scalding and around and around so you constantly have to dip under and out. I can’t say the stay was worth the price.」
