3-Star Hotels in Wantage

Arrived on a very warm Friday evening (32 degrees). Comfortable room on the secnd floor. No lift, stairs only. No air conditioning in the room, although the windows were open. The duvet was winter weight and it was too hot to sleep in the bed, so I lay on top of it. Fortunately I had brought my own portable fan as there was none in the room. Parking in the nearby car park is free after 6pm. The room had an ensuite bathroom with shower, bath and plenty of towels. Only soap provided. Tea and coffee making facilities were in the room. The staff wre friendly and the desk was manned when I departed just after 6am. My room overlooked the high street and having to leave the windows open due to the heat, the room was very noisy, as it was a Friday night and there was a lot of late night revellers. I needed to be up early at 5.30am. There is a Saturday market and there was a lot of clanging of metal poles while the traders unloaded their vans to set up their stalls. The rate I paid was fair value and there was little that could have been done to offset the heat, bearing in mind the Bear is located in an old building. Had it not been a very hot night, the room probably would have been quieter with the windows closed. I would certainly stay again, but preferably during cooler weather!

A great country inn, the room is very cozy, the dinner and breakfast are very good, the staff are very enthusiastic, the chef's skills are very good, there are many guests who come to eat, and you can get close to the locals and local dogs. In addition to delicious meals, there are four hiking routes that can be played during the day, so you can experience the British countryside

My wife and I came here for a bit of quiet time and to enjoy the local area. The house and gardens are charming and the countryside lovely. I enjoyed using the library and the lounge. The bedroom was comfortable with good shower and bath facilities as well as a TV. We found the staff friendly and helpful. There is a good continental breakfast and it was no problem to make our own arrangements for the rest of the day. In view of the location and facilities we thought the cost was very reasonable. We would happily return.
