The staff were excellent and the full english breakfast was really tasty. The room was cosy as it was in the oldest section of the pub but well kitted out. The rennovation of the Dog and Bear was nicely done and sympathetic to the age of the property. We were in room 4 which is quite a challenge if you are over 5ft 10in tall as the ceiling is very low. Although there was a hand held shower in the ensuite, we weren't able to use it standing due to the incredibly low ceiling. I understand that it's a very old building but the ceiling could have done with being a couple of inches higher!

All Staff made the experiance extra special for us and our family and friends, attending a family wedding locally and dinner afterwards at the Hotel. Over 20 guests stayed - we had young babies and children who were made to feel very welcome. From booking in on the first day, to the rooms, facilities, the food which was of fantastic quality and quantity, the the friendliness of all the staff - nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were clean and very comfortable Thank you all so much..

The room was clean and comfortable. The evening meal and service were very good. All staff with the exception of one serving breakfast were friendly and efficient. The service at breakfast was not particularly good, though the food itself was. The fruit juice and milk jugs were almost empty and I had to ask for milk.

It was very well decorated and reasonably priced. The breakfast was generous and the staff helpful. I think we had the water tank or heater which went on and off several times during the night, which was disturbing. The breakfast timings were a bit early and finished at 9.30, having been to a wedding last orders at 10 am would have ben better.

The staff and local people were welcoming and friendly, especially in the bar area. Because of the lack of noise we managed 2 good nights sleep. Breakfast was excellent and so was the food in the restaurant. Finding the car park after a 6 hour drive at night was a hindrance. Needs to be signed more clearly, even after leaving the car to ask in the bar where it was it was unclear which turning to take, however when found, lots of parking spaces and convenient for back door to Hotel.

The staff were lovely and helpful, and the room was lovely. I would warn against the sweet waffles at breakfast - they were out of a packet. But the rest of breakfast (eggs / bacon) was lovely so I suspect other choices would have been better.
