The Bear Hotel by Greene King Inns

Fabulous value for money with all the charm of an old country inn with a river garden at the back. Mine was room 7 which was clean, large and had all I needed. Some nice real ale in the bar too. Would definitely recommend.

A friend and I stayed here while cycling the canal from Reading to Bath. Friendly welcome, stored our bikes safely, comfortable rooms in converted out-buildings opening onto yard, where we sat all evening eating good food and relaxing. Very good breakfast and then we set off again - very pleased with our choice.

Comfortable room ,great breakfast and staff.Fine location for antique hunting.

This hotel was very comfortable and clean with lovely staff with a bar, restaurant, beer garden and breakfast room. It's an old hotel with lots of history. Our only complaint was it was so hot (not the hotel's fault) and only had a fan. It also provided free parking which was very convenient. But the best thing about it is its location - only a couple of minute's walk to the town centre .

This place was a great choice by us as it is very well located walking distance to shops. The room was very comfortable but as it was extremely hot day, it became very uncomfortable. We had a fan but the temperatures soared to 36 degrees so not very effective. Not the hotel's fault. Staff were very obliging.
