Another great stay at the bear
This is our annual trip that we like to take. The bear never disappoints. I love this time of year, sitting by the fire on a cold day. Food is always top quality, staff can never do enough for you..

BULL AT THE BEAR
Very courteous and friendly staff. Check-in easy. We were phoned a few days earlier to ask if we would like to reserve a table for dinner as they were filling up fast; this was welcome and unexpected. Good food. Beautiful hanging floral displays outside. Spacious room with its own front door. Powerful shower, good welcome pack. The only gripe is the tv had some very odd channels on it. We were very impressed with this hotel and hope to return next year. Good location for exploring.
