Good stay, reasonably priced and very convenient for cycling along the canal nearby. They have good bike storage. One small recommendation for improvement; if a curtain could be placed over the entrance to the room, to block out the electric light from the courtyard at night.

A night by the river.

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel including attending a lovely wedding reception. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean and tidy. My only criticism would be that the pillows on the bed were too hard - one was not high enough, but two were too high. We had an issue with our car and therefore couldn't stay both the nights we had booked but the hotel staff were very efficient and were able to refund us the second night.

Could do better. Staff were attentive when located

Mediocre. The place was a little unkempt in the outdoor areas. Bathroom hadn’t had a deep clean for a while. My room was not attended to for the three nights I stayed and I had to go in search of clean towels after two nights. Pillow cases had a smell of having sat around damp before being dried.

Bed comfy but no sleep, old noisy building/floor

Noisy, no rested stay. Floor above room in coach house needs sorting! Customer staying above floor creaked every time they moved, were up and down all night and I woke with every movement from them or bed movement. This was not mild it was very loud. Front door needs some seals or perhaps a curtain as this lets in all noise, as does the windows. I appreciate an older building but i must of only slept about 3hrs if that with the combined issues. Shower is not fit for purpose, very hot water, no pressure and yet no general indication of where the temp levels might be on the taps so if you turn it on and its very hot you cant get to the taps to turn it off without burning yourself. Shower curtain is installed in the worst postion, you cant take a shower for it literally being on you or in your face. Kept sticking to me while showering, had no choice but to open it while showering, filling floor with water. Shower was clean but was a little black mould and cealing had water damage, no extractor fan so not surprising. Although they advised when I arrived the kitchen was closed, if I had not seen on facebook that their kitchen was closed prior to booking I would not of been aware at all, as no information on any website via hotel. com or hotels own, nor had any email etc advising me of it either, so would of arrived gone 7pm after 2.5hrs travel to no food and having to figure out somewhere to go.

The Bear, Hungerford

Arrived late and dropped luggage in room then left for a function On returning we found when we ran the tap in the bathroom the sink was blocked Could not turn off the bathroom radiator which was extremely hot and made the bathroom feel like a sauna and there was no shower gel available There was dust on the bathroom floor and in the bed area and a lump of dust on the bed Certainly NOT worth £81 per night breakfast NOT included in this price

It is a very nice historic property with a great location, and not too expensive. I have not used the dining room, just needed a place to overnight within walking distance of station.
