The Old Bear Inn

Rooms are in single storey building in courtyard at rear of pub within pub garden. Lovely big shower in ensuite and tea making facilities provided. . Car parking also at back allowing access without going through pub. Landlord kindly allowed me to pick up a key early. Handy if you want a night cap!

Check-in is at 16:00; however, I was due at the wedding for then. I emailed the inn prior to explain I would be travelling for two hours and didn't want to drive in my wedding attire; therefore, could I arrive a hour early to freshen up, change, and go to the venue. The landlord responded and assured me they would clean the room, I was due to have, first, so I could check-in early. In the end I checked in earlier than planned, which was fine, sorted myself out, and arrived at the wedding in time to see the bride arrive. The room was absolutely stunning and well presented. The shower with instant hot water was great, both upon arrival and the following morning. The rear carpark has plenty of space and is right next to the accommodation, so I didn't disturb anyone when returning in the early hours. If I am back in this neck of the woods again, I wouldn't hesitate to see if they have availability. I truly loved it!

The Old Bear Inn is very conveniently situated not far from the Cotswold Water Park where we attend a family BBQ each year. We have stayed there 4 times so far. The staff are always pleasant and helpful, the rooms and linens are clean, the beds comfortable, and have sufficient coffee and tea making supplies.

The host was very welcoming, the room had everything we needed, 3 comfortable single beds, nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and the shower room was lovely. All linen supplied and toiletries. The access was great via an iron staircase and straight from a pub car park which felt very safe for the car. We could not fault it and I’ve paid a lot more money for expensive hotels and had a far worse experience. The village is lovely and there are plenty of places to grab food as the pub doesn’t do food.

This is a traditional local pub with loads of atmosphere. We stayed one night while walking the Thames path. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The shower was large with loads of hot water and we were able to dry our clothes. I thought it was very good value for money.
