The Bear Marlborough

Great location. Very tasty breakfast (not included but worth the price) comfortable bed. Really friendly staff and owner 

Not really

High street location, but no parking. Love the age and character of the building, and Marlborough. Bar was friendly

Arkells beer, otherwise good

Clean simple room

Hallway carpets a bit grubby

Location great, room lovely, price for one night very reasonable and staff amazing.

Great location and some nice views over the countryside as it’s quite a tall building. Bed very comfortable and the bathroom looked recently refurbished. 11am check out is very civilised.

Some of the decor was a bit tired and there was a slightly annoying security light in the room which couldn’t be turned off. Good thing I had an eye mask!

It had charm and character and the rooms were warm clean comfortable with a nice decor. Nice warm shower. There were cooked breakfast and limited evening meal options. We chose some home made curries one evening and they were tasty, good value and contained good quality ingredients. I had read some previous reviews about loud live music on a weekend, but these were not an issue on our mid week stay. We could hear some background sounds from the pub from our room, including a ukelele group but this wasn’t any bother to us. I guess if you don’t like late loud music on a weekend, maybe you should make some suitable enquiries before booking here.The staff were polite, cheerful and helpful. We requested a hair dryer and one was left for us to borrow. The location was good for access to the town, you may get traffic noise in the day as we had single glazed period windows, yet it was quiet during the night, yet you may hear the church bell chiming the hour, which we found to be pleasant.Ample tea and coffee making facilities in room ,with biscuits. Overall experience was better than we anticipated.

Shame it doesn’t have car parking, so booked a place on a specialised parking website, to make things easier than trying to work around the various parking rules and regs in the town.You can park temporarily, or, overnight in ‘The Parade’ by the hotel to unload/load though, if there are any spaces. We didn’t like the soft mattress, but that’s personal preference.

Good location

The ceiling fire alarm green fluorescent light cover was taped in place and in the middle of the night feel off. This disturbed our sleep for the rest of the night.

The location

The room was very cold, and even with the small radiator heater on, the room did not really get warm. I did stay in December though.

The owner is very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and felt like at home.

There are not so many resturants in the town.

Comfy bed, nice clean shower

The pub downstairs closed at 11pm, but the music was very loud and wasn't switched off at closing time. We could hear it theough the floor. Upstairs it sounded like a children's play area, very loud and sounded like people running around. And in the morning at 7am the lorry came to collect/drop off the beer barrels. It was a loud place and not really the best place to have accommodation.

Location, cost, towels and room size.

Live music was very loud in the room, carried on until midnight. Then music started with breakfast at 8am.

Location great in the centre of Marlborough.

Rock band playing till midnight, so loud I felt I was on stage with them. No warning this was going to happen.

Location

Live music until past midnight directly underneath our bedroom which wasn’t made clear at check in. The area was then cleared (loudly) to be set up for use the following day until 130 am, keeping us awake.There is no heating at all in the bathroom - it was freezing.The bed is tiny. The pillows very flat.

Great location. Didn't have breakfast

Not ensuite..Everything else we were happy with

the location and the bed was very comfortable

there was a breeze from somewhere that made the door rattle all night

Quite spacious room, comfy bed. I would say great value for money.

Room was a bit cold when I arrived, it took a while to heat up once the heater was turned on.

In the town center

Derelict Lots of stairs, narrow, not easy with suitcasesSmelly kitchen throughout Breakfast room not appealing No hair dryer Drawers falling apart

Landlord and staff were excellent. Welcoming and helpful with local information and answering any questions I had. Very nice coffee in the morning, as well. Great situation.

Room was clean and new. The building was lovely

No breakfast included. Bed was uncomfortable, not really any atmosphere.
