Large comfortable room
Very welcoming check in and out. Room number 2. Large comfortable room and bathroom. Quiet. Toiletries, coffee machine, tea, biscuits, water provided. Approx 20 mins walk into city centre (a bit of a hill coming back up but perfectly do-able). Tasty large breakfast (paid for separately) Very friendly. Will definitely stay again

The rooms were outstanding, the pub friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was very good value for money and with a bus stop outside just a 5 minute ride into the City.

Comfortable and helpful staff
Very good hotel and the staff were exemplary. Breakfast was limited but the cooked food was excellent though took some time to prepare. Sadly, the coffee making machine was broken for entire stay and only instant available.

Stayed for 2 nights, great location for a short walk into bath. Free parking is a great plus. The walk into bath is a fairly steep hill so bare that in mind. Hotel itself superb, really friendly team immaculate room with a touch of class. Nice vibrant pub below.
Martin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent!
Large, clean, quiet room with a comfortable bed. Coffee, tea, water, and biscuits provided. Large, clean bath with soaking tub as well as double head shower. Hot water with great water pressure. Nice toiletries and large towels. Check in/out efficient and pleasant. Breakfast and dinner both great food. This is over a pub yet there was no noise in my room even with England playing in the Euro Cup. Location was convenient with shops close. Fifteen minute walk to main train and bus stations and central Bath. Bus stop just out the door. Highly recommend this property.

A good place to stay.
A great place to stay on the outskirts of Bath. 20 min walk down hill in to town. Everything to a good standard at the Bear. Couldn’t fault it. Rooms good. Staff friendly. Food cooked fresh and good too. Made for a nice weekend stay. Thank you.

Good spot above nice pub
Excellent stay. Good location just outside the city centre. Check in was quick and easy. Room clean and very quiet, well equipped and plenty of sitting space. Two minor gripes: the bed was quite small even though there was definitely space for a king size in the room, and the extractor fan in the bathroom made an annoying clicking sound, which led us to turning it off.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was lovely however, water pressure wasn't great and it took ages to fill the bath in the room we were in. The breakfast options were a bit lax, no congenital options and if you're not a fan of eggs then menu is a bit limited. Otherwise location is fab, really short walk to and from the city centre and the hill on the way back really isn't that bad. All the staff at the hotel were lovely and welcoming, room was spotless and very clean. All in all we would come back.

Had a 2 night stay to visit the Bath Christmas market. Parking was readily available onsite and the check-in process was easy and prompt with the friendly staff. The room exceeded our expectations with a lovely shower and freestanding bath, large wall mounted tv and separate radio. Whilst being located outside the city centre, it was only a 15 minute walk to the centre using the short cuts (thanks to Google maps). Would highly recommend

Spacious, well appointed and comfortable rooms.
One night stay whilst visiting Bath to watch the rugby at the Recreation Ground. Met by a very friendly and efficient lady who checked me in and explained the various entry requirements after 11pm. Room 6 was excellently appointed, spacious and very comfortable. Huge bathroom with shower and a bath. Free car parking although probably only spaces for around 8/10 cars but they do try and keep these free for guests. Was not able to eat/drink at the hotel but the menu looked good, there was a wide range of beers and the place was busy which suggests the standard was good. It took me approximately 15 minutes to walk to the centre of Bath although it took longer coming back as up quite a steep hill. Excellent value compared to the standard hotels nearer the centre. Would have no hesitation in staying here again.
