The room was clean enough but felt poorly maintained. Broken window pane, held together by, looked like sellotape, one window was difficult to shut, with, literally, an antique lever device. Needed to shut,despite heat, to deaden the (understandable) noise from Saturday night karaoke. It did stop at around 11:00pm. Single paned old windows, probably conservation reasons. Curtains didn't keep out light in mornings (ok if one's an early riser but not if trying to rest after a tiring journey. Sink needed unblocking, very slow to empty and plumbing randomly made a drink dripping noise from somewhere, up through plughole & overflow. It also couldn't contain the spurt from the cold water tap, which shot out of the basin and over the wall. For the price, it would have been good to have a basic ensuite loo and shower, rather than a shared loo with shower & a second shower only cublicle, down the corridor. The loos, etc appeared to be cleaned daily. Nothing appears to have been done, or upgraded since my last stay, three years ago. Just needs some TLC. The beds were comfortable and other facilities in the room were basic and fine. It's a great, friendly pub and the staff were helpful, beer good, food I remember as very good, I used to live in the town. I did try to book elsewhere but only the Bear had a vacancy, for which I was grateful. It was an unplanned visit, as I had come to view flats which were available for a move back.

The staff were very friendly, and made us feel at home! The room was cozy and the view was beautiful, though the road outside was rather noisy, but it dies down after dark. I was hooked on the Cotswold Stout while we were there, and the town absolutely won our hearts! Highly recommended The Bear if you're around Marlborough!

Parking was only ok because we arrived late in the day on a Saturday and were able to park on the street outside for free. Any other day and I think you’d have to pay to park on the high street. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. Only stayed one night so no complaints. Pinos across the road was excellent for dinner.

We were on a cycling holiday and the staff were really helpful! Letting us store our bikes in the tea room, the cooked breakfast there was great too!

The room was very clean and the staff helpful when I called, for instance, to ask about where I can park. Also, when I arrive to check in the lady on the bar walked him to my room and show me where everything was which was really nice. Being a pub, and having a private function in the next room, inevitably there were some guests up later than others and the guests didn’t have much concern for other people sleeping – this is not the fault of the hotel of course. Comfortable night’s sleep! Given there was a café next door within the pub, it would be nice if there was a B&B rate that allowed us to have one of the breakfasts inclusive, but this wasn’t an issue, just an idea.

When checking in, the first person i spoke with was brusque, and told me that the person who would check me in was at the other end of the bar, and not the person who I was talking to, who happened to be the owner/ manager of 11years. Just generally unfriendly, which I didn't need after a long car journey.
