Unsatisfactory accommodation

We put 3 sub contractors into your hotel for 2 nights. One bathroom was dirty with mold & “mushroom” growing! One room had food stains on the carpet. General cleanliness & attention to detail very poor. Main parts of hotel & food good!

Rooms are nice, if a little small, but historic old building. Toilet cover was too small for basin and the shower curtain positioning designed to hem you in and make the shower feel tiny. Food in adjacent pub not good (and literally half the things on the small menu not even available). Breakfast similar - my smoked salmon was brownish and I think microwaved from frozen (or tasted like it). Probably best to eat out in retrospect

Not disappointing - DIRE

Tired rooms. The soap fillers were empty. Shower soaked the bathroom floor. Room not serviced properly. Main problem though was that arriving back late evening for second night stay the electronic key card for my room didn't work. I had to ring for the night staff on my mobile because external bell didn't function. If I hadn't had a working mobile I would have been stuck. Staff produced a replacement card - didn't work; staff's own key card didn't work. I was then given a replacement room which had a physical key but had to spend the night without my night stuff including medication. No discount or compensation was offered. I had to ask and was granted an inadequate amount. Staff though were friendly and over-worked. Greene King to blame and I will be avoiding this and all other Greene King hotels in future

A bit disappointed..

The bed is comfortable, the room is warm. However bathroom cleaning is not great; we never got any spare toilet tissue after it ran out on day 3 (we stayed for 7 nights) and the toilet wasn't cleaned properly. The shower also needs the grouting replaced, and the bathroom door wouldn't close. There was rarely anyone at reception - only once in the whole week. The breakfast staff still need training - offering and topping up tea & coffee, clearing tables (never leave the room empty handed), spoons in the cereals, milk & juice topped up, appropriately dressed (no long sleeves dipping into food), hair tied back - not pleasant to have a long hair decorating the food! And on one occasion we were told to sit at a table that hadn't been cleaned so we had to wipe it ourselves! Ashtrays on the tables outside the bar area were full of cigarette ends floating in rainwater - really disgusting to walk past every morning. Beer cans, rubbish, dropped cloths/sponges were all observed during the week. A manager should be walking around, checking these things throughout the day. It just needs someone to actually care about the place - The Bear's reputation is not good amongst the locals and you are losing business. All of the above we reported over a year ago when we stayed. It's nearly all the same restaurant staff and they are still poorly trained, so not sure if there's really any point in leaving a review as it's obvious no-one pays any attention...

Bed comfy but no sleep, old noisy building/floor

Noisy, no rested stay. Floor above room in coach house needs sorting! Customer staying above floor creaked every time they moved, were up and down all night and I woke with every movement from them or bed movement. This was not mild it was very loud. Front door needs some seals or perhaps a curtain as this lets in all noise, as does the windows. I appreciate an older building but i must of only slept about 3hrs if that with the combined issues. Shower is not fit for purpose, very hot water, no pressure and yet no general indication of where the temp levels might be on the taps so if you turn it on and its very hot you cant get to the taps to turn it off without burning yourself. Shower curtain is installed in the worst postion, you cant take a shower for it literally being on you or in your face. Kept sticking to me while showering, had no choice but to open it while showering, filling floor with water. Shower was clean but was a little black mould and cealing had water damage, no extractor fan so not surprising. Although they advised when I arrived the kitchen was closed, if I had not seen on facebook that their kitchen was closed prior to booking I would not of been aware at all, as no information on any website via hotel. com or hotels own, nor had any email etc advising me of it either, so would of arrived gone 7pm after 2.5hrs travel to no food and having to figure out somewhere to go.
