Excellent value for money.
Pros:

The room and on-suite facilities were excellent - the room looked as if it had recently been redecorated and the bathroom upgraded. The Bear is located at one end of the High Street, virtually in the centre of town. Although there’s no parking on site, there’s plenty of parking in town, so this was not an issue. I paid a very reasonable rate for my room (3), so I’ve rated my stay as excellent value for money.

Cons:

The Bear is a pub, so expect plenty of noise. However, this was not a problem for me and I had a really good nights sleep.

It was ok for one night.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Really noisy - understandable with a bar downstairs but loads of people hung around outside long after closing. Shared bathroom facilities weren't in great condition (one shower for three rooms on top floor, window broken).

Hopefully they will improve their service and I can conevv bc stay next time
Cons:

The room we got is located on the top floor and room is super hot and noisy in the night from the street traffic. There is a little tiny fan on the chest but looks very dirty and doesn’t work for the size of room. Also the internet doesn’t work/ or very weak

Voor één nachtelijk verblijf op onze fietsreis was dit een prima locatie.
Pros:

Ruime kamer en badkamer. Behulpzame gastvrouw die ons restaurant aanprees waar we heerlijk hebben gegeten.
