The room was clean comfortable and the mattress good, the room was good value for money. The room was very central to town and to Clark's Village for shopping. Parking was excellent as outside the door

On arrival around 3.30pm 05/10/24, there was obviously a shortage of staff, your payment online system did not work correctly and you had no way of paying by card, very disorganised. However, your staff member Hayley was extremely apologetic, helpful and polite putting us at ease. The room was pleasant at a glance. Our family (7 in total) joined us for dinner @7pm, there were not enough staff, you had no ales available, service was slow. When we went to bed, I opened the window and noticed the curtains were ripped and the window had mould. There were cobwebs all around over the ceiling. Upon getting into bed, we saw the quilt cover was dirty and heavily stained, your housekeepers definitely saw it when they made the room up, there was no way they could have missed it!!!! We included breakfast, which was just as disappointing. The sausage was anaemic, and disgusting cheap nasty catering rubbish. The bacon was transparent, the black pudding was thinner than a two pence piece. The fried egg white was rubbery and crispy on the edges. The yolk was rock hard and the tomato was raw and cold. The mushroom was overcooked and rubbery. Nothing was seasoned!! I did tell Hayley the Chef was lazy to have sent this out to any customer, the chef has no pride with the quality and standards of the food they are producing. I have detailed photos of all the above which I will gladly share with you. Your only saving grace was Haley and the lady at dinner (she wore a cream jumper) who appeared to be supervising. I work in Hospitality (43 years) and I know how hard it is but basics were not met during our stay.

I walked around in Street and Glastonbury towns, walked some back roads in the countryside, visited the famous Tor and the Avalon marshes.

Only giving a 1 star as unable to leave a zero. Booked arrived. One meal returned twice, attitude from management appalling, definitely not a place id recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Street. If you are visiting Glastonbury and cannot find a local hotel this is very near and even has good views of the Tor along the main high street. Clark’s dominates the area which is very interesting and there is a great choice of shops in walking distance to the hotel. The pub is nicely decorated, food is good, Hayley one of the team made us feel very welcome, she was brilliant. We went with friends and both our rooms were large and beds super comfy. We found this to be very reasonably priced, we also got 20% off of our food as we had booked it direct which was an added bonus Hayley told us about.

Returned to stay at the bear inn after enjoying a stay there last year. Liked the atmosphere of the pub,& the staff were all pleasant & helpful. Only slight negative, seemed to be slightly understaffed to cope with busy pub at a weekend. Sunday 19th was very busy(really nice weather) & only saw 3 servers to cope with bar,restaurant & beer garden. All credit to the 3 young female staff working that day, they did a great job coping with the number of customers.

I had booked our visit months in advance ( our third stay at the bear inn) when we checked in the young lady said we will be in a family room across the road - a room in the annex Blossom Cottage-I said that we had booked a double room not a family room to which the staff member said we are very busy you should of booked earlier. The room in the cottage was dark and tired looking, not inviting what so ever. We had a pleasant breakfast on the Saturday however on the Sunday my husbands omelette was brown in colour when he turned it over it was worse obviously burnt. We asked the pleasant waitress to take a look, she asked what did we want her to do - my husband asked could he have an omelette that wasnt burnt. She agreed that it was burnt but said we wouldnt get one not burnt/any betteras she new the chef wouldnt be able to manage it. My husband then put in another order, the eggs wers overdone.

Excellent stay and lovely hospitality. Breakfast and dinner was superb food and vast choice of drinks. Served by Hayley each day for breakfast and for dinner and she was so thorough in ensuring that we were well looked after. Room had all that we needed and a great location for the shopping outlet nearby.

I liked that I could do check in and out online. Things ran very smoothly. Staff were all very pleasant and friendly. The only negative would be as a woman travelling alone I felt a little unsafe where my room was. I had thought I would be in a room at the hotel not in a wee flat a short distance down the road. This is just a little negative and it would not stop me from staying again or recommending to friends and family.

The initial impression was of a tired looking premises in need of a bit of TLC. Check-in went smooth. We had dinner that evening. The initial service was very slow. A good ten minutes before we were asked what we wanted to drink, by which time we were ready to order food. Another ten minutes to get our drinks. When the food it was very disappointing. Let’s start by saying that we ate it because we hadn’t eaten a thing all day. My wife had the Sunday Roast (Turkey). The green veg was nearly cold, and it looked as though the luke warm parsnips and roast potatoes had been around for a while. The waitress offered to reheat it for my wife, which I suspect is not a recommended practice. I had the Steak Americano which I ordered medium rare. When the plate arrived it had about eight soggy, warm, chips on it. I mentioned this to the waitress who went and got some more. These, although still soggy, were the hottest thing on the plate. There was no way that they had been deep-fried in oil of the required temperature. My supposedly medium-rare steak was dry and over cooked. I was tempted to ask for a fresh one but given everything else suspected that I would receive much the same. Our waitress asked the Duty Manager, Laura, to speak with us. She used mitigating excuses like the staff have been working hard all day and are doing their best. Just because I ate in the evening I still expect the same quality of food. Laura asked what we wanted her to do about it. My wife said that it was up to her to make that decision. In the end she did nothing. Her attitude to our complaint was very dismissive. The next morning we had breakfast. My wife had an omelette well done, I had the full English. Both were absolutely fine.

The bed was comfy the room was spotless! We were in one of the cottages which was lovely, only one downside was there was a room above us & they had children, there was obviously no sound proofing on the ceiling as we were woken rather early from children running around above us! Shower over bath could be updated as well. But we did enjoy our stay! Staff were amazing

Really friendly and helpful people. Comfortable beds and decent shower. Food was great in the restaurant and at breakfast. The only problem we had was being in room 6. Until closing time we had to listen to banging doors and the hand dryers blowing from the public toilets below the room. There was also a constant noise from what seemed to be the kitchen extractor fans.

Another amazing weekend in this comfortable and friendly hotel. The rooms are immaculately presented, breakfast is excellent with a wide choice. The food at other times is very typical of similar establishments but cooked and served to a high standard. The bar is well-stocked with something for everyone and both bar staff and restaurant staff are pleasant, friendly and professional. It's a stone's throw to Clarks Village - shoppers' paradise!

Basic room but it had comfy beds, adequate en suite facilities, coffee, tv and wifi so for the price it really was good value. Maybe, for a twin room , it could have a couple more clothes hangers, but we were 2 females sharing, maybe for a couple there would be enough. Staff very friendly and efficient. Food amazing value for guests. Must recommend the fish and chips.

Went here for pub lunch after travelling to lots of different pubs in the area at around 2pm (all other pubs were shut). Even though they finished their lunch menu at 2 they let us eat, were super kind and great service. The food was delicious, never tasted better chips!

I needed somewhere to have lunch whilst I work and Good Earth was on my list. This place is cosy yet full of character and life. It was busy downstairs so conveniently I went upstairs where I was quieter. My quiche salad was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. I highly recommend this place for those who want a coffee and a chat with old friends, that’s definitely the vibe I got from the customers.

By far the best Indian Takeaway in Frome - has been excellent since it opened and continues to go from strength to strength.
