The Bear Hotel

Cheerful, attentive staff, very good food, full of atmosphere. The room had plenty of space and was very clean. Old fashioned decor but they're what I would expect. It has everything we need and the bed was comfortable.

Would be nice to have a window that opened. Plumbing a bit slow. Both are to be expected, given the age and history of the hotel

This is an old establishment dating back to the 1500's and still standing. Lovely compact room with toilet and shower. Bed was comfy. I had a decent sleep. Room 24 not much of a view but that doesn't matter because I was only using the room to store my stuff and sleep in. I spent the whole day around Devizes. The room was quiet, no outside noises. The hotel is situated right in the centre with the bus stops for all buses to Swindon and Chippenham right outside.Full English breakfast was top notch.I will stay here again next time I am in the area.

Nothing to report.

Superb Saturday lunch in the bistro.Very comfortable bed in my quiet top floor single room. Good fluffy towels. Large full length fitted wardrobe containing the fold out suitcase stand.

A long wait to place my cooked food order at breakfast on Sunday. The single waitress couldn't cope with the demand of everyone turning up within the last three quarters of an hour of breakfast service. Also all the croissants/pastries and already gone as had almost all the fruit. There was no restocking. However, when it arrived my scrambled eggs with tomatoes and mushrooms were excellent.

Had a lovely stay here. I got the last room available which was a single room on the second floor. It was quiet, comfortable and not too small. Bathroom was nice, good hot shower. Breakfast room was crowded when I arrived, and hot food is ordered from the menu rather than buffet -- but I was seated quickly, received coffee quickly and received a very nice cooked breakfast quickly. Friendly service. Nice staff at the bar in the hotel as well, and generally a great atmosphere here. Room was well equipped with kettle, iron etc. Plenty of sockets. Nice courtyard/rooftop view.

I was a bit cold when I went to bed as heating had been off for quite a while and it's an old building - but bedding was nice and warm and bed comfortable so I slept well!

Lovely central hotel. Very good for events in the town and for shopping. Great breakfast and nice clean rooms.

Our heating didn't work. There was a little electric fan heater which we used but it was nosey so at night we turned it off and didn't sleep great because we were cold

A lovely warm welcome with real log fires on a cold winters night. A traditional, pretty, historical, English country town hotel. Exceptionally clean room and bathroom, crisp white bedding and comfortable bed.Very helpful and good staff.

The lighting in the bedroom corridors was very harsh and bright and perhaps could be a little warmer.

very comfortable room and bed. Nice staff. Great location.

The place is in need of general refurbishment.

Room very spacious and comfortably warm, bathroom good size (loved the double basins)Excellent breakfast, plate service good selection and quality produce

The Bar menu was a little disappointing with limited choice.

Excellent location and plentiful parking. Good food and excellent breakfast.

Bathroom whilst clean could probably do with updating.

Nice staff, comfortable room, value fir money. Includes parking. Big plus in that town.,

View wasn’t great but for the reasonable price I didn’t care. It had curtains.

Good size pleasant room especially for a single. Staff all helpful and friendlyLovely breakfastNice atmosphere. The bar was busy (with coffees I think!) for a midweek morning.

Decor a bit dated. Maybe needed redecorating but all clean and comfortable.

The staff and management were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast excellent and timings very good

Fairly quiet area, full of historic information. Food very good staff very good especially charlie and clare who rescued us when the lift broke down!

Reliable lift as i had recently had a knee replacement, i did manage though, we were in room ten which has a huge step from the bedroom to the bathroom, needs two steps if possible
