The Bear Hotel

8/10 Good
"Overall the hotel is well-positioned and has good parking. Decor is good and staff friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The negatives are that the ground floor rooms in the coach house are not remotely private. The windows look out onto the path and directly at all the people in the glass cube in the courtyard. We could not open the blind without coming eye to eye with at least 10 people drinking and eating outside, just feet away. I could literally see the white of their eyes! Therefore, the room was rather dark, and noisy from their conversations. Breakfast is across the street in a cafe. This didn't suit us and would be difficult on a rainy day. Also, it was very slow and took overall 40 minutes to finally receive our breakfast!"

"The hotel was in a good place, not too far from the town centre and also easy to get back onto the M5. It was also good having the free car park with ample spaces. The staff were helpful. The only downfall the mattresses are very soft and when there are 2 of you in bed you both end up rolling into the middle together. The walls are quite thin and we could hear someone in the next room plugging something in and unplugging it again."
