Excellent restaurant, both had fried bream for lunch, and it was really tasty, will be going again.  Served by Cherise, very friendly and welcoming.  Luckily we ignored the "road closed" sign at the junction (was our first visit, definitely not the last).

Delicious meal, well prepared.

First time visitor is was amazing I visited with my sister and I can’t tell you how lovely it is here. The quality is luxurious , the food divine and the staff are so lovely, welcoming and helpful. The coffee pod coffee machine in the room along with glass bottled milk bespoke chocolates and frozen cooled water was a lovely surprise. The roll top bath was awesome and the bed so very comfortable. The air conditioning was a pleasant surprise. The attention to detail was fabulous.

Awesome stay

Arrived and seated by booking time. Long delays with food being served and various explanations provided before established they were cookless using an imported chef from another pub - allegedly.
A stater was served not as ordered and the replacement was clearly a refry of teh original, and sent back.
Fish and chips that resembled fish and crisps. This served hurridly over 20 minutes after everyone else was served as they had clearly forgot, even the fish served skin up (always a no no)
Meal sent back for fresh and correctly fried portion of chips.
Adjustments made to the bill with thanks but were there nearly 3 hours in total, most of the time waiting for food to be delivered to the table.
Despite their generous adjustmet to teh bill, a complementary dessert or drinks would have appeased as after 3 days I am still seeting, especially as I was told someone had a similar issue a fortnight orior.
Staff were lovely, the final food after long delays, and several efforts by the kitchen to cook i correctly was ok, but even with the bill adjustment it was still a substantial bill for 'okay' food served late and some of it incorrectly.
VERY DISAPPOINTED and will have to think very hard about returning there. Have been in the past with no issue.
Won't be recommending the place to anyone.
And someone who is localish, its not as if I am a Grockle that wont ever be there to visit in future.
The differing explanations and 'We are just plating it up' to then arrive over 10 minutes later when challenged, suggests its code for 'we are still cooking it', or with my fish and chips they had forgotten to cook it!!! A simple honest'We are experiencing delays' when being seated would have made things easier to accept, but repeated visits to teh bar with'any idea where oyr food is?] and waiting ages after being told its plated, is not good enough. And the place didnt seem particularly busy, seen it packed more especially as this was a Bank Holiday weekend. 
Taking family over from Germany there, they were really not imorssed as after an hour an half we had only just had the starters. .

Poor food service and inappropriate delays.Suggest avoid

We arrived and greeted with a warm reception at the front desk, on arrival it's clear to see that the  decor is absolutely beautiful. The bar itself is modern and plentiful, choices are fantastic and staff attentive and friendly.
We stayed in one of the family room which boasted a gorgeous large bed and a button back style sofa bed, double in size and plenty of room for both in the room itself. 
Linens clean and of course I have to mention the bear shaped towels, the Bear theme runs through the room but it is subtle and quality items rather than any tat. The complimentary tea/coffee tray with fresh milk was a welcome surprise and very much appreciated. 
Breakfast was delicious, fresh ingredients with a good choice of options. We had the full English alongside some pastries and juice from the continental selection. 
Nothing was to much trouble for the staff, all seemed happy to be there and had a lovely nature about them. 
I would go back in a heart beat, truly a wonderful stay, beautiful room and amenities. 
Fantastic 

Fantastic, will definitely be returning 

Second vile meal in 2 months. Not my choice of venue for second visit. Service so slow and bordering on lethargic indifference.  Meals were slow in coming. Over 45 minute wait. Burger was small and meat tasted most peculiar.  Accompanying "slaw" was wilted and bitter. Onions on burger sloppy and tasteless. How do you manage to ruin a burger. Certainly not worth £17.95. Such a shame as facilties are smart and outside is well laid out. I am absolutely not willing to endure another visit there whatever the occasion.

Second disappointing visit

Lovely hotel in great location . We had fabulous weather so were able to make use of the outdoor space for breakfast and coffees etc . Dog friendly with toy in room for him and treats in main bar . Lovely rooms - all quite different - worth seeing if you can pick .

Lovely dog friendly pub

Called in for a beer on the way home and found a jazz duo setting up. They were great and we stayed for 3 hours. If The dinner Set is booked again, go and listen. The musicians interacted with the audience and we had the chance to chose the pieces. Good music, good food great venue. Are they coming back, Tania?

Jazz at the Bear of Burton

We arrived to a warm and friendly greeting promptly booked in and shone to our room,first impressions the room was cosy warm and beautifully decorated, we had a room on the first floor that had a view to front and beyound to open countryside, the bed was comfy and the linen was crisp and luxurious,we had all the luxury coffee machine,kettle a selection of teas chocolates hair dryer iron everything you could want , we had a couple of issues that were promptly dealt with by the ever willing staff, nothing was to much trouble and all done with a smile, the bar area is superb with all its little crooks and crannies, i forgot to mention that we also got a free gin and tonic and very nice it was, we decided to eat in the bar and ordered from the menue a little under whelming but adequate, the food arrived a starter of whitebait very nice then we waited for at least 35 minutes for our mains the food was at best tepid and not of the best quality as the bar wasn't that busy we would have expected a better experience, everything was a 10 except the food,overall we have had a nice stay at the bear the staff are a asset there friendly approachable and nothings to much trouble so thank you all for a really nice stay

First timers

I visited this hotel with my mother for my birthday. We had a lovely weekend. The staff were very accommodating and couldn’t.t do enough for us. We will certainly visit it again sometime. I would definitely would recommend this hotel it’s quaint  and peaceful.

A birthday treat.

Beautiful staff & hotel. I went with a group of nice people & everyone had a good experience, great food, & thoughtful kind staff that were extremely accommodating. Saturday night service was a little slow but the place was packed & we didn't mind the rest of the week was perfect!
