Great location, staff very helpful. Restaurant and lounge very comfortable and outside seating.The bathroom was excellent. The beds comfortable. It was quiet. Large free car park.
Our room was an Indulgence room and expensive but it was in the attic and although the low eaves were protected it was easy to bang your head. There wasn’t a lot of room in the bedroom compared to the other rooms we have stayed in. There were no drawers to store clothes in.
From check-in to check-out staff fantastic, polite, attentive but not in your face, accommodated all requests.
Location perfect and super super quiet, considering there is a rail line and an A road nearby, you would never know; don't let these put you off booking.
We stayed in room - Uddens - absolutely wonderful, very well appointed, clean, bed comfy, shower room good size, copper bath in room, nice touch. Overall room size great.
Food - restaurant food very good and breakfast (cooked and continental) more than you can eat.
If you travel with a hound, they love them as guests too.
Would thoroughly recommend the Bear to anyone.👍
Nothing not to like, fantastic gem.
A good stay, breakfast was lovely - good range for vegetarians and both hot & cold options.
Comfortable bed, excellent shower and nice toiletries.
Despite being near a busy road it was quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Pub has cosy seating and nice space to have drinks.
Generally a good stay, small little tweaks to make it better:
Towels could have been higher quality.
Air con was quite noisy.
Mostly very clean but little bit dusty on bear lamps.
The evening meal felt less good quality than the breakfast and surroundings would suggest!
We walked into Christchurch on one evening and it wasn't the nicest part of the town to walk through, something to bear in mind.
Lovely rooms. Comfortable bed. USB sockets. Powerful shower. Fresh milk and water in mini fridge. Breakfast was really good, there's a continental buffet and plenty of hot options. We had dinner on the Friday evening and it was delicious. Staff all really helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking on site. Quiet location even though it's just off the main road.

Very comfy beds, lovely bar area. Friendly staff.
Not enough staff at breakfast time meant there was quite a wait for coffee & food, also although the ingredients are clearly very good quality there were slight issues...toast was not toast it was still bread! Eggs are overcooked & beans were cold. Twice we told the lady that the orange juice in the buffet area needed filling up, but it was never done.
Our 4th stay cannot fault it all staff excellence.
Very good food
Been before always good nice location easy free parking
Having visited the property several times 15 months ago it’s very reassuring to find out your expectancy levels are met once more.

Nice location, good food and pleasant room. Staff were friendly and helpful too.
Sadly the aircon had broken just before our arrival and given the very hot weather the fan in the room just couldn't do very much. The pull out bed for the third person, was very uncomfortable to sleep on.
Friendly staff and good food.
Relaxed atmospherevand superb helpful staff
Beautiful building. Fab bedroom. Staff were so friendly. Breakfast was great and an amazing choice
Beautifully decorated and maintained building with just 10 rooms. The room we had was very clean and incredibly comfortable and more spacious than a lot of hotels..
Lovely clean room,with friendly staff,complimentary Gin & tonic at the bar.
Faultless.
Staff were so friendly and helpful
Bed was smaller than expected for the two of us but was given a discount which was appreciated
Receptionist excellent.
Situation perfect.
Very quiet location.
Breakfast menu excellent . Would have been good to have plain croissants available rather than all sweet, and to be able to make own toast without having to ask the kitchen to prepare it.
Used dirty cups from previous guests, left as clean cups, for us to use!
A large ball of spiderweb and dust left along the side of the wardrobe.
No full length mirror in the room, ample space for one.
