Gosh what a deterioration in such a short time. The main bar has been redecorated and refitted with light coloured furniture and is already stained. The carpet has been replaced with a cheap looking Tartan - ghastly!! The resident's lounge has been re-furnished with light coloured furniture and is already stained! Service is deteriorating. The linen table cloths in the... More

We stayed here for a night because we were in town for a wedding. The room and bathroom were updated and spacious and overall quite comfortable! Unfortunately we didn't spend much time at the hotel itself but the lobby/restaurant seemed very cozy and well kept. Be prepared to carry your suitcases up a windy staircase as they didn't have an...

We have just spent a repeat visit at this lovely old coaching inn and are amazed at the recent comments. Yes there is some refurbishment underway which included repainting and replacing the old carpet but it did not affect our stay. The bistro which was closed due to access while the work is going on has been re-located to another... More

We stayed at The Bear during Bank Holiday weekend for a family wedding, taking 3 rooms. Although our initial opinion was somewhat disappointing due to some refurb work being carried out which we were not pre-warned of nor discounted for, nothing was too much to ask for. The staff on all levels were excellent and extremely accommodating.

Great location and historical building make this an obvious choice when staying in Devizes. The 6x is fresh and delicious but that's the end of the good stuff. Major renovations were not mentioned when we booked and the main bar and restaurant were ripped out and out of commission. On top of that our room was pretty average and a... More

Lovely view overlooking the market place. The room was large and comfortable with nice ensuite. The staff were pleasant and very helpful and breakfast was well cooked and tasty. Idealy situated if you need to be in the centre of Devizes

This is a comfortable hotel with attentive staff, a good bar and restaurant and an excellent location in town. A perfect place for me to book rooms and recommend it to friends as a place to stay for my son's wedding. Thirteen rooms booked in all with the first arrivals scheduled for May 23rd. So after booking most of the... More

We stayed here with eight friends for a reunion night which coincided with a wedding party in the hotel, which meant their car park was jammed, but they still found us a beautiful dining room shared with only one other table of diners where an excellent meal was provided. As we'd booked as a group they offered us a very... More

Lovely hotel, which I stay at fairly frequently. Food - good quality and reasonably prices. Service as good as I would expect. Drinks - as with any hotel, high prices! Rooms - Mostly very nice. However, I've stayed in room 16 a couple of times and found it a little uncomfortable (too warm, noise from ventilation unit on ground floor.... More

This is a comfortable, friendly and historic traditional inn at the hearty of a fine market town and is full of character. If that's what you're after, you can't fault it: comfortable beds, wonderful historic building and setting and an excellent breakfast served by one of the pleasantest waitresses we've ever met.
