    Bed very comfortable. Breakfast excellent. Dinner excellent - usual Greene King standard

    There is no signage for the car park and we drove round and round a couple of times in pouring rain in the dark looking for the car park - all very confusing, frustrating and time-consuming as we are not familiar with Havant

    Great breakfast, and friendly helpful staff. Also ease of access after hours.

    Only a VERY small problem.... I had a late night "drop off" from a friend who dropped me at the front of The Bear. As the front gate was locked (which I didn't notice until after my friend drove off!) I had to walk all the way round to gain access from the car park, which isn't clearly marked from the road. Could I suggest an indication as to where the car park is situated?

    Good location

    No coaster for tea cup.No heater in bathroom.

    8DebbiePosted on: 2-10-2026

    I've stayed at the Bear many times and always enjoy it. Overall it is great but needs a little refurbishment.

    Nothing except the rooms need a face lift.

    9GregoryPosted on: 2-10-2026

    Lovely location, atmospheric pub/hotel/restaurant with loads of history.

    Room was a little dated and a few maintenance issues. Facilities in our room weren’t the most modern.

    9PatriciaPosted on: 2-9-2026

    Very central location Atmospheric quirky interior

    No handrails or grabrails the bathroom The offers in the restaurant didn’t seem to match up with offers on the website

    Clean room with a comfortable bed, location a plus to this very old accommodation.

    9NigelPosted on: 2-1-2026

    Perfect location being right in the town centre. Nice big car park available free of charge to hotel residents. We arrived in the morning and the very nice receptionist kindly found us a room which was available so we were able to check in really early. She looked after us well during our visit.

    6PaulPosted on: 1-28-2026

    Staff were excellent, breakfast was excellent.Location for what we needed was very good. Overall a good hotel.

    Room was clean but let down by material state especially the carpet, that was in a pretty poor state. Taped down in places.

    10AnthonyPosted on: 1-28-2026

    Lovely clean room helpful staff definitely recommend..

    I never ate in the Bear but from what I did see the food looked delicious..

    Good location and food was good.

    Our room was a little worn in places and needed some updating.

    6PamPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Close to town, on site parking, the staff on reception and in the bar on the first day/night and lovely food in the bar

    The furniture in the room was very old with the table being very damaged. The staff on Tuesday night were not nice. Very unfriendly, the main bar was shut for some reason but we could use the bar next to the dining room. Unfortunately there was some very loud music on that sounded like badly sung karaoke and it was LOUD. Very loud. We were the only ones in the bar and there were 2 couples in the restaurant. We asked the barman to turn it down as we couldn’t hear our son and his family across the table. He muttered something and turned it down slightly then turned it up even higher within the next 15 minutes. I then spoke to a younger bloke and asked him to turn it down which he did, thankfully. It was the final night with our son and his family so we were doing a lot of talking
