Beautiful room and incredible food
Beautiful stay in the Goldilocks room, room was well decorated and very comfortable. We had the room with the bath in which was stunning, great selection of amenities for the bath too. Our dog did come for the stay too (which was £20 extra) and it was very easy to get out in the night if they needed a toilet trip. Dinner was superb as was breakfast (cooked to order) I would honestly say no complaints at all about the whole stay, perfect birthday/babymoon trip for us - thanks!

A great boutique style hotel. We came at Christmas and it was beautifully decorated through out. The rooms are equipped with quality items and it is a real place to relax. The breakfasts were amazing and the evening menu was varied and high quality. We will be back!

Best so far in 2024
I stay away from home a lot and book different venues. This has to be the best room/ensuite I have stayed in so far in 2024 (now in October). Room was lovely, bed was super comfortable. There was a desk to work at in the room, wardrode for hanging clothes, good sized TV on the wall, chairs next to an easy table, wall fitted aircon unit. Ensuite was a great size, with a sensor night light so you did not have to turn on main light in ensuite. Breakfast does not start until 8am, but they do offer a continental breakfast if you have to leave early.

We stayed one night at The Bear and loved it! It’s a beautifully curated boutique hotel with lots of quirky and bear-themed art and accessories in the rooms and restaurant. Our room was immaculately clean, decorated really well with a Nespresso machine, kettle, air con and Dyson fan and a small table and chairs. It also had the largest bathroom we’ve ever had in a hotel with a huge walk in shower with rainfall head plus a bath! One small and unique detail was a voucher for a complimentary gin & tonic in the bar and chocolates (and the gin collection was quite something!). Staff were very good at check-in and attentive in the bar and at breakfast. Breakfast consisted of a cold buffet of pastries, granola, yoghurt, fresh fruit and juices then followed with a cooked-to-order choice. Food was delicious. Only 5-10 minutes from Christchurch harbour and Highcliffe in the other direction. All in all, our stay here was excellent and we would love to return again and would definitely recommend this beautiful hotel to anyone.

Good food and rooms
Have stayed twice and eaten three times, for business travel. The rooms are clean, with AC, nice ensuites good coffee and chocolates and have lovely, "bear" related themes, like door knobs, towels and coasters. The food is of a very good standard, far better than normal pub fare. Genuinely a cut above being a pub with rooms, will stay again at the next possible opportunity.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in a comfort room. Great idea to keep some rooms pet free, which ours was.Good range of quality toiletries provided. The curtains were long, thick and lined, so not woken by the early morning light. We live in a village with very little light pollution so bright light in a morning can be a problem. Room has bluetooth speaker so able to play our own music, It also has a coffee maker. Dinner was excellent. Simple food brilliantly executed +served really hot. Breakfast next morning was also wonderful. Plenty of choice + good quality. We stayed mid week, so no issues over noise. The hotel is a wedding venue, so could be an issue at the weekend. Our room overlooked the deck + again may not have been so tranquil in warmer weather if guests were drinking + chatting on the deck until late. All in all would not hesitate to stay there again. One suggestion would be to have a couple of small comfortable chairs in the room. to relax in, as you had to sit on bed. Room had a free standing full length mirror when wardrobe had one too?. Only criticism would be that the tel no on the website gave a message after 6.00 pm saying that the tel is only on 8.00 until 6.00. Transpired the call had gone through to Fullers. Guests should be able to call the hotel direct + talk to reception.
