The Dog & Bear Hotel

It's dog friendly and the rooms are lovely. The pub is welcoming and the food was quite nice. Our supper and our breakfast in the morning was delicious. We've stayed here before with our Jack Russell Terrier and it's always been a nice get away.

Was all quite nice.

Great room bar and food

All good

Great stop in a lovely small village. Quiet rooms, perfect for a family of three or four. Welcoming staff

I liked the fact it was a village pub - one reason for booking. The staff were friendly and It was clean and did a job. Beyond that it’s difficult to get too excited about it.

To be overly critical would be a bit unfair. It was functional but unremarkable. The Manager offered my wife ‘one of the refurbished rooms upstairs’ but perhaps foolishly she opted for a GF room as she struggles with stairs a bit. It was clean and tidy but the bed was a standard double (nice linen) , the room a tiny bit tired and the shower enclosure tiny and on a plinth meaning my wife could only access it with my help. Hot water took ages to come through and the room was a bit cold when we went in. Only one radiator worked and it took ages to warm up. I booked it because it looked convenient for the Shuttle as we returned to UK but in practice it took much longer than I expected on roads that weren’t brilliant. A recheck on Google says 38/45mins. If , due to the slightest hold up it becomes 50/55mins thats not a ‘short hop’ to or from the Tunnel , in which case , why would you ?
