Property information

The Bear Hotel has 33 en suite bedrooms all with hospitality trays, hair dryer. All rooms have colour remote control LCD televisions with Freeview channels. The traditional looking restaurant is very relaxing and comfortable. The Restaurant provides excellent service to both residents and non-residents and offers a very high standard of cuisine with sophisticated A' la Carte menus. The restaurant is open each day for diners seeking a leisurely meal in comfortable surroundings or business people requiring quiet and discreet surroundings with excellent food and fine wines. It is very popular so booking is recommended. We are also located near to Blenheim Palace, Oxford City, The Cotswold Wildlife Park, Newbury and many more places for a great day out.
