"We really enjoyed our stay! The staff was super helpful and friendly. The facilities were nice, in great order, and convenient. We’d stay here again if we return to Southampton. "

"The room is clean and very comfortable"

"Beautiful and comfortable room and bathroom. Very well equipped and exceptional provisions. Excellent breakfast. Great evening meal. Limited motorbike parking (lethal gravel) but found a spot on entrance paths."

"You are living in a structure with tons of history. It is updated to a point but wants to always maintain its history. Quaint rooms that tell a story and transport you back in time. Breakfast was great and staff very accommodating."

"Great location. Lovely snug room with shower and toiletries. Great roast dinner and an amazing cooked breakfast. Lovely gardens."

"The cost for the rooms, dinner and drinks was very expensive for what it was. The bedroom I stayed in had a broken blind which let the light in, the bedside lamp was also broken, the Manager was grumpy, but two very nice waitresses. Otherwise not to be recommended at that price."

"Our 2nd time at The Bear, and we will be back."

"First time here, fantastic gem in a very quaint spot. We really loved our room, felt like we were back in time, was so unique - for anyone cruising out of Southampton cruise terminal would highly recommend a night here!!!! We loved it."
