The Bear Hotel  

Conveniently located close to my family who live nearby. Helpful staff Comfortable room Ample car parking spaces

Restaurant a bit pricey

The room was very spacious and the bed was huge and so comfortable! Had the best night's sleep in 8 days! Also, superb breakfast. A really lovely place to stay.

The staff and venue suits me as I have 2 clients close by alk (who I know have now moved but I still meet 1 of the Managers around Hungerford) plus a client in Newbury but I prefer to stay in Hugerford and the The Bear. I feel I am always made to feel very welcome and love the fact the staff know me and treat me well. Privacy is important to me (as have had a previous bad experience) so the fact I can hide away safely and get my work done at the same time works really well for me.

Hi Guys, I stay there a lot and lovely Lee always sorts me a good room. Was a bit dissapointed this time however as I booked on line and got a deal on executive room and like to stay in either room 4 inside or the large room updstairs on Bear Island. I asked for Bear Island but due to a "fault" in the upstairs room was put in the room downstairs, this was very small and very noisy. So didnt enjoy the stay as I usually do.

The ambience with everthing close to hand. All the staff we met were welcoming and helpful and gave an expression of enjoying their employment,which is indicative of good management.

We had a room adjacent to the main hotel which would not have been warm in cold weather. Similarly, the temperature in the bar in the early part of the evening was only just acceptable.

We had a comfortable room in the courtyard. It was a bit creaky due to the people above us in what is a very old building - creaking floorboards.Our meal in the bar was very good value - smae menu as the restaurant.

We liked the fact that The Bear is not part of a big group and thus has an individual character of its own. Atmosphere is very relaxed and staff very pleasant and friendly. We really appreciated being switched to a quiet room for our second night as the traffic kept us awake much of our first night.

Meals are rather expensive and only limited choice for vegetarians. The decor in the bar/restaurant is very functional and it lacks the character of the rest of the hotel.

The size of the bed. Location, very handy for our requirements.

As it is on the road we found it a little noisy

We came as part of a wedding party ad thoroughly enjoyed our stay both in the area an the hotel. Facilities were admirable and staff very friendly an helpful. Would if in the area again definitely stay again.

late check out time

My party of three couples were accomodated with a room in which to change upon our early arrival without any fuss. The receptionist was extremely courteous and helpful which was pleasing because we had a tight schedule, in order to catch a train to Newbury Racecourse. We didnt return to the hotel until after midnight but the night receptionist completed the remaining booking without much fuss. Liked the hotel and will definately be going back with friends to explore Hungerford.

Unfortunately my friends and I were witness to a very inappropriate standard of behaviour of your kitchen staff while we were sat in the garden area enjoying coffee on Sunday morning. I do not wish to complain but a very very loud and vocal row with much use of obscene language occurred between what I believe were kitchen staff which caused the women in my group some distress. It was most unpleasant and completely unacceptable to expose guests to such conduct.

Great value for money hotel. Great staff, great food great atmosphere in the well appointed bar, ideal for browsing around hungerford and also for a day out at newbury races, altogether it ticks all the boxes for "chill factor". We will return !!

Friendly efficient staff: good food: large comfy bed.
