The Bear (Hotel) in Elmbridge

I always come here with my friend and Oli stood out to us so much! whenever we come in he is so inviting friendly makes jokes which makes the atmosphere wonderful. food never takes long to come out and tastes delicious, highly recommend

Great experience! Delicious breakfast and exceptional customer service! Thank you!

Great hotel. Very friendly staff who are welcoming and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed. Rooms are nicely decorated, clean, and spacious. The food in the restaurant was lovely. I would definitely stay again and happily recommend to others.

Lovely rooms (exceeded my expectations). Nice bar/restaurant area and the staff were great. Definitely one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in, so would love to stay there again.

Lovely little hotel above a nice pub in the middle of the village. Really friendly staff and nice details in the room.

The hotel was perfect and the staff was wonderful, especially the manager Jacob! We booked last minute after flying from the US and they had our room ready in less than an hour so we were able to get some much needed sleep. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. We will definitely stay here again if we ever get the chance!

An amazing place to stay. We were welcomed as soon as we arrived and felt as if we were at home. Such a friendly place to stay. The room was spotless and had all the comforts needed for our stay. The restaurant was excellent and the food was superb. A great experience and have already booked my next stay. Thank you so much everyone for making our stay so wonderful.

Excellent Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago! Treated my family to a feast of roast beef, chicken and pork all served up in special style by Ethan and Fran. They both really looked after us and I thoroughly recommend popping in to enjoy the quality food, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere and the outstanding service offered at The Bear. Thanks to all those working hard in the kitchen too!

Start with very minor negative, only very small parking and Surrey drivers not letting you pull out of the car park, will happily block you coming out, but pub was nice, bedroom was nice, comfy bed, iron, tv, hairdryer, kettle, coffee machine, mini bar, complimentary coffee, tea, milk water etc. Bath, shower, secondary glazing for road noise. Only had breakfast, but good options, and good quality, best bit, the staff really lovely. Had 4 nights here visiting family, so didn't eat in restaurant but looked great.

Staff utterly amazing, put that first Arrived from a family gathering, perfectly situated for our trip to our grandies next day . Rooms spotless, sufficient and lovely amenities in the bathroom. Great honesty bar in the room, nibbles, sofas and a few alcohol beverages. Unfortunately later that night I had to deal with food poisoning from lunch at another venue. Then 0730 we were woken by a fire alarm, the poor staff were so kind and apologetic. Silver lining ... We are stood here today and not crispbread on a mortuary table I would like to see an extendable magnifying mirror put in the room. The rooms are very nicely decorated but very dark. But how much time do u stay in a room, unless u get ill. Won't hesitate to recommend this little gem. Kas and Richard Westray

Gorgeous traditional Hotel. Great location, tasty food and friendly staff, parking on site. Loved our stay

Didnt use the rooms But called in for food Staff friendly Service very quick Food really good

Awesome clean pub renovated around its historical charm, new bathroom & bed, pillows and comfort was excellent. Great restaurant downstairs with extremely friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend. Excellent location to cafes, supermarket.

Went to the restaurant at The Bear today, convenient location right on the high street. However the food was disappointing, had the Sunday Roast with pork belly for £19, the only thing I was happy with was the Yorkshire pudding. The roast potato was not freshly cooked & hard (could be from frozen or overnight or recooked), the gravy was very watery, the pork crackling was rock hard, the apple sauce was cold from fridge, I hardly can believe the food standard I received in a restaurant. Bad food experience we have had on our Sunday day out.

Disappointing, not what one expects from a Youngs pub.

Absolutely top notch. Will always be my first choice if stopping in the area. Lovely rooms, gorgeous food and top class people.

Decent pub with food. Parking can be an issue at busy times but I've often found space in the Waitrose overflow car park. Fair range of beers, wines and coffee. Nice in the summer to sit outside and in the winter the smokers can sit outside too as there are heaters.

I ordered a full English breakfast I was asked how I would like my eggs cooked? poached I said,the thing was i didn't get any eggs they forgot them and so did i didn't realise until i got home🤣

We have stayed at the Bear 3 times now, and the experience always improves. The bedrooms have a very cosy decor. The quality of bed & bedding is first rate, you're guaranteed a good nights sleep here. The service from the staff is top notch also. On the Saturday morning with a race meet on at Sandown, plenty of hotel guests in for breakfast the pub was then overrun with the Surrey Hills cycling fraternity. Middle aged lycra as far as the eye could see!! Jacob - who was on duty, took it all in his stride & attended to everyone promptly & diligently. Exceptional service as ever! And speaking of breakfast, the food at the Bear is superb. Still the best Full English Breakfast I've ever had. We will be back, we love staying at the Bear. Quiz night on a Sunday evening was very enjoyable too!!

Visited today for Mother’s Day, honest review the service by Ben, Charlie, Ethan and Ollie was immaculate. Ambience perfect.

I stayed at The Bear for convenience as it close to the local hospice where my friend spent their final weeks. The staff were warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are a good size, the bathrooms are good too. The beds are heavenly! The rooms are serviced every day if you wish. The little sweet treat daily was an added bonus. It is situated centrally for all the local amenities and has good bus and road connections to a variety of attractions (Hampton Court, Thorpe Park etc). The food is also good and hearty, well presented and tasty. I had a great experience and would return again.

Absolutely lovely place, perfect location, very friendly staff. Food is also perfect. I would absolutely recommend!

It's been an amzing ro for a great price So additional extras. A room with refreshments and snacks

i visited the bear on Friday for a meal and enjoyed lovely food and had great service from Ethan we will be coming back.
