Really pleased with our stay at The Bear of Burton. The room was well equipped and the bed was really comfortable. The breakfast was very enjoyable with lots to choose from. Would definitely recommend.
An absolute gem of a place, ideally located for a stroll along the beach with lots of beautiful places to visit close by
The rooms are extremely well laid out, the food and service were very good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Lovely staff, well dressed room and food was spot on
Great comfortable stay with lovely dining facilities.
The room was exceptional. I love the fridge with fresh milk and water which you don’t always get these days.
Our dog Toby enjoyed his staff too and dogs are well catered for.
The room had good amenities and it was surprisingly quiet as our room faced the road. Breakfast times were really good and a good selection of choices. The evening meal was very generous, not sure if they changed the menu daily as we ate out the second night.
Rooms are good, but small. Large furniture is a bit of a waste of space - could do with somewhere to put a case incase of a very large antique wardrobe (which is very nice, but not in such a small room). Room size makes it a little expensive, but the breakfast choice is very good (made to order)
