Very dog friendly. Lovely staff and well decorated rooms and bar.

We stayed in a comfort room. Great idea to keep some rooms pet free, which ours was.Good range of quality toiletries provided. The curtains were long, thick and lined, so not woken by the early morning light. We live in a village with very little light pollution so bright light in a morning can be a problem. Room has bluetooth speaker so able to play our own music, It also has a coffee maker. Dinner was excellent. Simple food brilliantly executed +served really hot. Breakfast next morning was also wonderful. Plenty of choice + good quality. We stayed mid week, so no issues over noise. The hotel is a wedding venue, so could be an issue at the weekend. Our room overlooked the deck + again may not have been so tranquil in warmer weather if guests were drinking + chatting on the deck until late. All in all would not hesitate to stay there again. One suggestion would be to have a couple of small comfortable chairs in the room. to relax in, as you had to sit on bed. Room had a free standing full length mirror when wardrobe had one too?. Only criticism would be that the tel no on the website gave a message after 6.00 pm saying that the tel is only on 8.00 until 6.00. Transpired the call had gone through to Fullers. Guests should be able to call the hotel direct + talk to reception.

Lovely hotel , needs an EV charger

This is a lovely country hotel with beautiful rooms and really great food. Service was friendly and relaxed. Lots of beautiful small details in the room - lovely bathroom products, Nespresso machine, and chocolates to enjoy. The hot breakfast included in the price was really good and lots of choice to cater for all tastes!

Hotel was well maintained. I was initially concerned when I saw the room as we were in the loft area that was compromised by the roof beams however even though I am over 6ft tall I only banged my head once. The only issue with the room was the air conditioner that was very noisy. We turned it off in the early hours however this did result in the room being rather warm. That was our only issue, the food and service were both very good and the coffee/tea making (and complementary G&T) were all welcome. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

Nice hotel. Small room but well appointed. Bed is small if you are tall. Breakfast good quality, small portions.

Great stay. All staff so friendly and welcoming. Brekkie delicious. Highly recommend.

An excellent hotel, good food, comfy, clean rooms and great location

The bear of burton was excellent in every way with beautiful rooms and great staff

The room was really lovely. It had a comfortable bed, was clean and very homely. The atmosphere in the bar/restaurant was relaxed and the food was great. Nice theme throughout and lovely touches. We will definitely come back and stay here again.

All staff extremely friendly and helpful. Lovely welcome. Great room and lovely breakfast. Would definitely recommend and stay again 👍

Very well appointed and comfortable room. Great breakfast. Only downside was lack of TV service in the room - you have to stream from your own device (which we couldn’t get to work). WiFi speeds very good.

I stay in a lot of hotels being in a national role and this is quite honestly one of my new favourite hotels. They have paid attention to detail and you can tell they have listened to their guests feedback. There is a book giving you lots of information which is really helpful. The bathroom was a little cold but they had provided robes and slippers. The heating was a little noisey but they told you how to overcome this in their book of information, the provided lots of lovely toiletries and gave you the information to purchase. Fresh milk and water in the fridge, little chocolates to go alongside your coffee, a gin measure to take it the bar. Everything is also done very nicely decorating and accessories wise. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. The food in the restaurant is also lovely. I am looking to go back for a visit with the other half so we can make the most of both the hotel and the area. Easy parking with lots of space too.

A great friendly hotel with hard working staff

Lovely stay, beautiful room with all the amenities you could ask for. Exceptional breakfast. Topped off with friendly staff

Great place to stay, wish we lived nearer for the food and events. Staff all friendly and professional. Thanks for a great stay.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic - we came for the weekend with our baby boy and our 2 dogs and stayed in a dog friendly room. The room was beautiful, very comfortable with everything we could have needed, including a goody bag for the dogs which they were very pleased about! The pub itself is beautiful and the food and service was fabulous - the staff could not do enough for us. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again if we are ever in the area!

Charming pub with nice rural aspect, conveniently close to Christchurch. Loads of on-site parking. We had a generous sized room on the top floor looking out over fields with a very comfortable bed and large ensuite. The Bear theme runs throughout the pub (with little touches like a bear vase and bear door handles in the room) and the decor is very pleasant throughout. Well equipped room with proper capsule coffee maker and range of nice chocolates and teas. Excellent full breakfast menu with pleasant service. We'll definitely be back!

We thought the standard of the hotel, rooms, bar, restaurant and staff was exceptionally good. Would definitely recommend and we.will be back.

Fabulous the hotel looks great, clean and a nicevib. Staff couldnt be more helpful and friendly. Rooms are great, lots of facilities and breakfast was fantastic

Great stay! Everything perfect! And excellent cooked veggie breakfast

Excellent hotel right on the edge of the New Forest

Lovely property nicely refurbished with clean, comfortable bed and bathrooms. Would be happy to return.

The whole ambience of the Bear was good. Loved the style & decor of the place. Staff were efficient & friendly. Young grandchildren visited us in the afternoon & games were available for them in the bar. A thoroughly lovely stay - wished it was longer!

Lovely place to stay. Everywhere was spotless, food was excellent plenty of choices for breakfast and dinner. Great location for the New Forest, Bournemouth and Poole.

All the staff were extremely helpful and the hotel was ideal for our 3 night stay. The room we had was very comfortable and the restaurant was also very good. Avon beach, Mudeford, Hengistbury Head and the town of Christchurch were all within easy reach, a few minutes by car.

Stylish pub/restaurant and we’ll decorated rooms! Dog friendly and staff extremely attentive and great customer service! Little out of a town but great base for exploring the area’s
