Fabulous stay in a traditional hotel with lovely atmosphere and fabulous food. We stayed in a cosy double at the front of the hotel which was perfectly adequate for a 1 night stay. Room was immaculately clean and well presented, nice furnishings with complimentary tea,coffe ,hot chocolate and shortbread biscuits. Bathroom was very small but again spotlessly clean and adequate. Food was exceptional - we had evening meal and breakfast - good quality, testy and reasonably priced. Staff were wonderful - helpful, polite and professional. Can't wait to go back.

Great stay for 2 nights. The room was clean and spacious and the bed comfortable. Consistently excellent food for both dinners and breakfasts that we had - and very promptly served, considering how busy the restaurant gets. Well done to all the staff team.

Thank you for another fantastic stay at The Bear Hotel. This year our room was in the main building. It was cosy, modern, comfortable and clean. The hotel itself is very interesting and quirky. Definitely worth a visit.

Perfect getaway spot

We stayed here following a day of hiking and it was perfect. However it would also be a great place to stay for a more glamorous occassion too. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Comfortable bed and quirky interior. Food was incredible.
