The Bear Hotel

Stayed for thee nights in a four poster room overlooking the marketplace The room was comfortable and the bed linens very clean and fresh. The bathroom has obviously had a refit in recent times and the hot water was plentiful and the shower over the bath had good pressure for an older hotel Breakfast was great and on the two nights we dined at the hotel the meals were of a good standard The staff were fantastic - Beth and the deputy manager take a bow The only negative is that the room we stayed in needs a major refresh from carpet through fixtures through curtains - it had not been decorated in at least 20 years with the same decor as my last stay in 2005! The lamp-shade next to the bed was in a sorry state - that's not rustic, that's just general disregard and laziness For me, that is a dealbreaker - Wadsworth pull your finger out!!

We dined at the Bear Hotel on Friday 25th April 2025. The welcome was excellent with attentive service. The staff took special care of my wives allergy. The food was delivered within reasonable time and was excellent in taste and presentation. Drinks were refilled quickly. I would recommend anyone to eat in the dining room.

This Hotel was delightful, lots of character and our room was huge. Front of house Josh and Paul were extremely friendly and fun hosts as was Judy at breakfast. It’s situated in the middle of town perfect for exploring Devizes. Breakfast was included and was tasty and fresh. Large free car park at the rear. We recommend room 22 which had a very comfortable bed and was nice and quiet. As it’s extremely old there are quirky features including large open log burning fireplaces and wonky wooden flooring. The bar areas are well worth a visit and the atmosphere was convivial.
