We have family in Christchurch and always stay here. Robert Southey, who wrote Goldilocks and the Three Bears, lived in Burton, hence the name! I reviewed it 2 years ago and am pleased to report that it remains a delight. £2m refit by Fullers five years ago, so lovely bedrooms and dining areas, with lots of charm. Food and wine list are short and well chosen-some of the Bin Ends are great value. I love the way that Tania, who runs it, is bringing on young people, so great service from William and Matilda. Breakfast, run by Clare is great-varied buffet and hot options cooked to order

Absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The staff were very warm and welcoming. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, with thoughtful little touches. Particularly liked the in-room coffee machine, lovely toiletries and G&T voucher! Every detail was clearly designed to make our stay special. We had dinner and breakfast here - all the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay along with the food!!! No complaints here and staff really good. Rooms are nice and clean and looks like it’s been refurbished recently and done to a high specification. Had the burgers in the restaurant and no complaints and breakfast was decent

It's always a pleasure to stay at the Bear. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, going out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The food is delicious. We had the most wonderful service from William! What a delightful young man. Friendly and efficient with attention to detail. We hope we see him again on our next visit.

The hotel and rooms were lovely, very clean, no complaints. The service however was very poor. Breakfast was okay but the staff were either non existent or chatting at the reception desk, had to keep getting up and going to staff to request things like tea, milk which had been forgotten, even when you did get their attention you didn’t get what you requested, waiting staff were generally uninterested with bad attitude and seemed to go out of their way to ignore you. Good reputations are hard to achieve but easily lost, staff service seems to be an issue at this hotel and looking at previous reviews has not been addressed, such a shame.

We have used this place several times during the last few months. I always look for consistency and it certainly meets that and more. The rooms(we have tried three of them are spacious and tidy. Breakfast is plentiful with a variety of choices. We tried the Sunday it was delicious roast lamb. The staff are friendly and helpful led by Tania the happy Kiwi The gin and tonic upon arrival is a welcome touch

I bring a group of artists to England annually! This year 2025 was my 2nd trip with this group and we have stayed at the Bear for two years in a row and are satisfied and well pleased by the wonderful food and kind, helpful staff! Not one complaint. The rooms are clean and comfortable, staff are attentive but not in your face. Great experience two years in a row! We will never have a question when booking at the Bear!

What a gem! The whole experience was exceptional, we booked last minute and didn't know what to expect but the staff were welcoming and helpful, our room was tastefully decorated spacious and spotless, loved the roll top bath. We enjoyed a fabulous evening meal with an Italian theme and breakfast was amazing. We can't fault our stay and when we are next back in the area The Bear will be our number one choice.
