Fantastic service, food and drink. Room was fabulous and well resourced. My only very slight issue was that breakfast did not start until 8am, in saying that the continental breakfast the night before for us was excellent.

Great location a short drive from a beach we found. There isn’t a lot near the hotel but it is accessible to the surrounding areas for visiting places by car or bike. The room was large and had aircon plus a huge Dyson fan which was a plus in the heatwave. King size bed and double aspect and tastefully furnished with tea, coffee and water. Couldn’t fault the room. We ate in the restaurant ( outside dining) which was great but I booked prior to arrival. The food was average, we had a steak which was overcooked. The staff were lovely and couldn’t fault them. Would definitely stay again and highly recommended.

Great stay at The Bear of Burton

Lovely rural setting, very clean & tidy. Nice idea to offer complimentary G&T. Good food. The GM was very welcoming checking me in and showing me my room. The GM was also on duty for breakfast service and accommodated my need to leave early. Can recommend,

Mixed good & bad

Good things: lovely room & bathroom. Drink on them on arrival which was a lovely touch. Only downside was a droning noise at night coming from some power source, which made it difficult to sleep before about midnight when it stopped. It started again at 7.30am. We were in Delcombe room. Mixed breakfasts: my husbands full english he said was very good but my dippy eggs were not runny & my smashed avocado was overwhelmed with tomatoes, so much so that the sour dough toast was very soggy. Howevet i only had to ask for a normal piece of toast & it arrived in replacement quickly. We enjoyed our stay on the whole but wouldnt stay again because of breakfast & the noisy room.

Good availability for parking, but car park could do with being resurfaced. Easy to check in and room was nice - very comfortable bed, a few quirks in the bathroom with a very low mirror over the sink that has you bent over to use and you can’t open the window to let out the steam. We had breakfast and dinner whilst here. Both meals were excellent- good choice and very tasty. Good selection of drinks as well. Was a good base for a visit to the area and would recommend

Lovely stay. The staff upgraded us to a larger room because of the extra stairs we had to climb with our luggage. They did not charge us. Dinner was delicious, and the service wonderful.
