The Bear is right in the centre of town, so handy for anyone wanting to see the local attractions (museum and locks, for example). Despite being an old coach inn, the rooms have been furnished to a very good standard, We had an evening meal there as well as the included breakfast the following morning - both excellent. Good parking facilities at the rear (register your vehicle as soon as you check in).

Being on the main road, there is some vehicle noise (typical boy-racers in the area). There is an unavoidable climb up the stairs if you're in an upper room... c'est la vie, the Georgians didn't have lifts!

We were staying for 2 nights and attending a family funeral so not a holiday but the hotel was perfect for our stay. The location is amazing and the staff were so friendly and welcoming we would definitely stay here again. Breakfast was delicious, rooms had everything you could need and a bit more, iron and ironing board, toiletries in bathroom, good size tv etc.

There are lots of stairs so not good for less mobile people. There is lift access to one floor but you need to go outside to get to it which is fine in nicer weather but not so good in the rain. Market getting set up very early on Thursday morning was noisy if your room is at the front of the hotel but was lovely to have a wander around.

My room was very quiet, which was excellent. Breakfast was also excellent. Staff, as always, were delightful.

The duvet on the single bed was too narrow. Please provide slightly wider duvets. The curtains were a long way forward of the window aperture so a lot of light came round the edges. This would be a big problem in the summer when it gets light much earlier. I was disappointed that I was unable to have lunch at the hotel after checking in on Saturday because the kitchen closes between 2:30pm and 6pm. However, the staff suggested excellent alternative locations and I returned to the bar at the hotel after dining.

From the start we had a good impression of the hotel. The staff were helpful on arrival and remained friendly and efficient throughout. The Bear is clearly a real focus for the community and we liked its bustling, unfussy atmosphere. The room was fine and had everything we needed. It’s an old building and bits of it are a little knocked about but we found it quirky and interesting. Breakfast was pleasantly and efficiently served and was ‘substantial’. We also ate evening meals in the pleasant bar areas. Obviously, the car parking is a real boon and a selling point for the hotel, which is right in the middle of the bustling town.

We had a room with a dreaded kitchen extractor fan outside the window. This is just one of those things but I would have preferred it not to have been there!

We had lunch after arriving and the food was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was well presented but a bit too warm for our liking. The breakfast the next morning again was great and overall we had a great stay and would certainly use the hotel again

The room was too hot for our liking and I was unable to turn the radiator down/off. I raised this with reception before we went out for the evening and the radiator was off on our return and the temperature more to our liking so thank you for resolving the issue.

Lovely staff throughout the hotel. Great food as we had dinner there that night. Lovely breakfast also. Very laid back and staff always happy to be of help. We were staying there as we were attending a wedding the next day. We had two rooms as my Mother in Law who is in her 80's and not very mobile also stayed. She struggled a bit with the stairs as there are no lifts but was given a room on one of the lower levels. The rooms were comfortable, clean and with character. Our room had been freshly redecorated and was very pleasant. I am looking forward to our next trip to Devizes and will definately be staying at the Bull Hotel.

There wasn't anything I didn't like about our stay.

We like absolutely everything about the Bear hotel! Breakfast is exceptionally good, you have to try their bacon sarnie! Location is right in the heart of the beautiful town of Devizes. All the staff are wonderful without exception. Free parking in their car park at back, plenty of spaces. Cost of stay is superb, I've stayed at many hotels in the UK over the years and the ones that have come anywhere close to the Bear Hotel's standard cost at least double the Bear's rate. I could go on & on...

It's so popular sometimes we can't book a room, particularly in summer haha!

The room was a good size with everything needed for a stay. The decor is looking a bit tired but it wouldn't put us off staying again. The room was clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom is a good size with a bath/shower. Breakfast in the morning was delicious with an excellent choice of hot a cold food. The staff were very helpful and made us feel welcome.

Slight mold in the bathroom but just needs a clean and air, probably caused by people not leaving the fan on after using he shower.

The Hotel staff were lovely , they were helpful, friendly , and genuinely pleased to talk to us, they worked well as a team. The food was great, we had a meal in the restaurant in the evening and breakfast the following morning, both were excellent. Although we only stayed the one night, we found the Bear would be a good base for exploring Wiltshire.

The hotel although clean and comfortable would benefit from refurbishment as far as the bedroom and guests breakfast room was concerned.

All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The food, drink and restaurant service were all excellent. The room services were very good and the bathroom was spotlessly clean. The location is perfect as a centre for visiting the town.

Our visit coincided with an exceptionally cold spell of weather and because it is an old building, which is difficult to heat, the temperature in the room overnight was less than ideal. However, good quality extra blankets were provided, so we were warm enough in bed.
