The Bear Inn in North Somerset

They do not serve food. Apparantly they have not served food for 5 years. Think the website needs updating

Booked with 4 friends,most of us in our late 50's and 1 couple mid sixties. Booked hotel due to close proximity to town centre as one of our party lost a leg in Afghanistan fighting for his country. The rest of us all work for the NHS and this was our first break together since the pandemic 2 days before we were due to arrive we had an email off the hotel saying they were cancelling our stay as they do not accept group bookings,I must admit we we're all flabbergasted, and the manager claimed she tried to phone us on several occasions to tell us not to come as we're obviously trouble makers(nobody phoned). We are all now out of pocket as we had already payed for a bus and we couldn't find any other rooms on the date we wanted. So if you are middle aged and fancy a trip to weston AVOID this petty hotel as they will ultimately let you down. THEY OBVIOUSLY DONT SUPPORT THE NHS OR THE DISABLED..

This pub is local to me, although I would not take my partner there it is a good honest local pub, and handy when waiting to pick up a takeaway. They serve local real ale, but sadly only fizzy cider.

Went here with Family, very accommodating as we had about 10 people. Drinks and snacks fairly priced. Its a traditional pub with a hotel attached, no need to dress up, place for people to have a drink and a chat.

Having recently started working in Weston, the Bear Inn was the obvious choice to stay being a 1 min walk to my place of work and 2 min walk to the beach. There is parking available although I never had to use it as parked at work. I stayed for the one night in room 22 which was on the ground floor with access via a side door so didn’t have to enter through the main pub area. The room was a double, it was clean and tidy and had tea/coffee making facilities, a TV, toilet with sink and shower, towels were provided. The shower was powerful with instant hot water, the bed was a little too soft for my liking but was comfortable nonetheless. The cost during peak season for 1 night was £69 through a well known hotel booking app so cheaper then other places being advertised. Breakfast was not an option but being there is a cafe at the Tropicana a 2 min walk away I didn’t find this an issue, a further 3 min walk and you’d have many other options in the town center, there were however two bar areas for drinks and snacks and a skittle ally, with free WiFi available. The Inn is also dog friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

The pub is just off the seafront and seems to mostly attract locals, but friendly enough. There are rooms upstairs. Real ale is served, and Thatchers cider, but no real cider.

Vorausschickend müssen wir sagen das der 1. Aufenthalt im The Bear Inn : 66 Walliscote Rd, Weston-super-Mare BS23 1ED, Vereinigtes Königreich war im Juni 2017 für uns und unsere Hunde sehr angenehm war. Es gab nicht sehr viel zu bemängeln, es war alles vorhanden es wurde ab und zu mal geputzt und die Mülleimer wurden geleert und man hatte im weitesten Sinne seine Ruhe. Die Ausstattung ist zweckmäßig gewesen, kein Luxus und nicht unbedingt schön, aber sie hat den Zweck erfüllt. Dieses Jahr im Sommer 2018 waren wir wieder dort und dieses Mal war es auch das letzte Mal dass wir dort gewesen sind. Die Liste der Mängel und Ärgernisse ist lang, so dass wir uns nur mit dem nötigsten befassen möchten. In Zimmer 1 , dass einer der Mitreisenden schon letztes Jahr hatte, hatte in diesen Jahr plötzlich kein Fenster mehr dass man öffnen konnte nur noch 2 Mini Klappfenster in Toilette und im Zimmer. Frische Luft komplette Fehlanzeige. Darüber hinaus, war das Bett so durchgelegen und teilweise die Latten gebrochen dass von gemütlichem Schlafen und ausruhen keine Rede sein kann. Ferner war der Toilettensitz gebrochen, so dass man aufpassen musste dass dieser überhaupt standhält ohne komplett zu zerbrechen. Von der Sauberkeit brauchen wir in keiner Weise zu reden. Das Zimmer wurde in den ganzen 3 Wochen nicht gereinigt, einmal wurde das Bett frisch bezogen. Bad und Toilette wurden von der Reinigungskraft nicht ein einziges Mal gesäubert. In Zimmer 8 ,das von 2 Personen bewohnt wurde war es nicht viel besser, es gab 1 Fenster das man öffnen konnte, das obere Fenster war, vermutlich durch Farbe so verklebt, dass es nicht zu öffnen war. Der Wasserkocher war so verdreckt dass man diesen trotz intensiver Reinigung nicht benutzen konnte. Der Teppich hatte sicherlich seit Monaten keinen Staubsauger mehr gesehen, geschweige denn Duschkabine und Toilette Putzmittel, was auch, hätten wir nicht selbst geputzt die nächsten drei Wochen auch so geblieben wäre. Bekannt ist das an den Wochenenden eine Band im Pub spielt, generell kein Problem. Das erste Wochenende mit der Band war in Ordnung, die Lautstärke war soweit ok und man konnte in den Zimmern durchaus noch lesen oder TV schauen. So war es uns auch noch von dem Vorjahr bekannt. Am Wochenende zum 23. Juni war im The Bear Inn eine Biker Night angesagt mit einer Band. Der Absolute Abschuss war, dass die Gäste, die wohlbemerkt nicht unbedingt wenig für die Zimmer zahlen, zunächst einmal vom Parkplatz geworfen wurden, damit die Biker ihre Motorräder dort abstellen konnten. Der Motorrad Club kam in der Mittagsstunden an und führte sich auf dass das Niveau kaum noch zu unterbieten war. Sie drehten ihre Motorräder auf dem Parkplatz auf und die Abgase zogen in die Hotelzimmer die ohnehin mangels Fenster die funktionieren, kaum mehr durchzulüften waren. Die Band fing gegen 18.00 mit dem Soundcheck an, der uns Gäste schon das schlimmste vermuten ließ, entweder sie hatten eine komplett defekte Anlage dabei oder einfach nur keine Ahnung, ggf. auch beides. Der Bass dröhnte so dermaßen dass das gesamte Gebäude erschüttert wurde, Gegenstände fielen von den Schränken runter , die Lampen haben gewackelt, man konnte sich nicht unterhalten geschweige denn TV schauen oder lesen. Gegen 21h Uhr fing es dann erst richtig an, die Band legte los, was gespielt wurde war nicht herauszufinden, da es sich, laut Plakat um Songs von der Band Marillion handeln sollte konnte man vermuten dass es das sein soll, verstanden hat man nichts und eine Melodie war nicht zu erkennen, es war lediglich bis kurz nach 23.00 Uhr völlig übersteuerter Bass zu hören, überlaute Drums und das Gebäude wurde von den Erschütterungen zum Beben gebracht. Zeitgleich haben die Biker in dem Saal neben dem Pub versucht die Band mit Songs aus der Musikanlage zu überbieten. Als das schlimmste Gebrüll und Geschrei der Band dann endlich ein Ende fand, ging es mit den Gästen im Hof mit Gejohle und Gebrüll weiter. Wie wir in anderen Bewertungen lesen konnten haben Gäste sogar das B & B ( Wobei es kein Frühstück gibt dort) , auch frühzeitig verlassen da sie total entnervt waren. Man könnte die Liste noch endlos weiterführen, was allerdings auch noch zu bemerken ist, dass die Hotelbesitzer mit ihren Gästen und Freunden von Freitag bis meist Montag oder Dienstag jedem Abend in dem Hof sitzen der zu Wohnung der Besitzer gehört, dort treffen sie sich zum Jammen , trinken und rauchen(!). War uns von letzten Jahr auch bekannt und es war auch nicht sehr störend. Dieses Jahr war es allerdings so extrem laut dass sich ein Gast der mit Kindern dort eingecheckt war auch beschwert hat daß man nicht schlafen könnte, hat anscheinend keinen Interessiert. Unser Fazit:. Wir kommen nicht mehr, auch wenn man sehr zentral zum Strand, Park und zur Stadt wohnt. Seit dem letzten Aufenthalt hat sich das Bear Inn zu 90% verschlechtert. In diversen Hotelangeboten werden sogar klimatisierte Räume angegeben. Außer dem Pub ist nichts klimatisiert. Die Räume sind so dermaßen stickig, dass man die Tür zum Flur auflassen muss damit man überhaupt einigermaßen Luft bekommt. Wi-Fi ist komplette Fehlanzeige, keine Internet Verbindung und wenn dann mit viel Glück ggf. 5 Minuten am Stück Die Betten sind durchgelegen, die Bäder/Toiletten sind schmutzig, Reinigung der Räume ist Glückssache. Außerdem haben wir in der Toilette in einem Korb von mir mit diversen Kosmetikartikeln ein Handy entdeckt dass man dort mit Sicherheit nicht verloren hat, da es sich im Bad um eine Stelle handelte in der man zwar was verlieren kann , es dann aber nicht so platziert liegen bleibt. Ein Schelm der böses denkt. Die Reaktion als ich das Handy in den Pub gebracht habe und es dem Besitzer übergeben wurde, lässt nicht viel Platz für Spekulationen. Nicht zu empfehlen.

Missed the lunch time menu but the rolls we were served made up for that one third of a baguette filled to the brim with either cheese or ham salad filled a few gaps!

we popped in on Saturday evening. The beer was well kept and well priced. The music was deafening, but well played. The décor and furniture is pretty terrible, especially the back room, which could be the ugliest room I've ever been in. This place has so much potential - it could be a great pub but no thought has been given to the layout and the general state of the place. But my, it could be great.

This is a gem of a pub the beer is top quality and well kept and the prices are very reasonable. The staff are very welcoming and make you feel like you've been drinking here for ever even if your only here for a few days visiting Weston super mare.

It was February but there were not many people in the pub. The radiators were cold, maybe they were having problems so there could have been excuses. Cobs on the bar is a nice touch although we didn't have any.

We arrived to find that we had booked a room in a pub with no breakfast. As it turned out it was fantastic, the room was spotless and bedding changed 3 times in the Mon-Friday stay. The owners were fantastic and welcoming and socialised with their customers. Also the locals were extremely welcoming and friendly. Would visit again and recommend to anyone.

I've been here a few times with friends as the music is played very quietly so it's easy to chat. It's not busy during weekday afternoons though I understand that they get a big crowd on Sundays when they offer live music. Prices are reasonable and the regulars are friendly.

A bit basic but l understand it has just been taken over by new owners and they plan some refurbishment. Found it a friendly atmosphere.

Very friendly pub went to the first quiz nite on a Wednesday evening great laugh if you like real ale there are three beers on tap all kept well and a good price £3.00 a pint

Called here on way back and had a very pleasant relaxing couple of hours. Definitely call again. Not too expensive.

A welcoming, friendly bar with live music regularily. Good value ale and ciders, recommended for a night-out.

Ok the room was only £40 (room only) but it was freezing.....had to ask for the radiator to be put on (it got lukewarm).Teas/coffee/milk not replenshed for our 2nd night, quilt cover had cigarette burns on it and the base cover was dirty! No bin in the bathroom and the shower had no hot water - on the plus side the staff were friendly and helpful.

I have stayed above this pub a few times and each time I have received with the most awkward, confused bar staff who are clearly not reception staff. I would seriously recommend that guests be taken to a quieter spot, or at least some quiet space on the bar counter to check in ...super weird checking in, answering a loooong list of questions about personal details, paying etc ... over a bar counter amidst a bunch of drinking strangers!!! Plus theres no reception, except when the bar is open ... which mean if yyou have any kind of need (like say a hair dryer - which is not available by standard in rooms) - you are basically on your own!

For dog lovers this Inn is perfect they are a dog friendly inn and that is hard to find only a 2minute walk to the beach bang smack in the town centre this inn is warm friendly the staff management and regular customers are second to none

just returned from the bear inn paid 110 pounds for a room, filthy bed base bedding not ironed no wardrobe to hang clothes, no breakfast included in that price avoid at all costs only positive the staff were nice.

Now a very busy local with live music at the weekends and then it is packed - standing room only unless you bag a seat early.

great room, great food, great service, we will definitely be retuning in the very near future the beach is only a very short walk away as are the local bars and shops

I sometimes call in here on my way back from Weston town centre. Usually a decent local cider to be had, and a wlecoming fire on my last visit.

A real "local", with good beer and live music. Very friendly, even when I spilled someones beer on heavy metal night.

went there on a Monday night, its not the most glamorous pub but I had a couple of brandies a laugh with the boys at the bar and was allowed to crash and join in on a Ukelele Club meet good times

Food house that doesn't serve food on Tuesdays. Had to wait to find this out despite mentioning it first off to a member of staff.

Stayed Saturday night for scooter weekend had friendly reception pun lot bigger than we expected also didn't get time to try ot out. Our roon was over entrance to rooms at side of hotel was small but clean. Suited us for one night but wouldn't want to be there longer. Room was noisy at night although pub shut at 12.00 and wasn't problem but the street was busy with late night revellers but wouldn't have been so bad if we could have closed window but room was so hot had to leave window open.

The food was nice. The room was very dark and the decor was very bland also the bar clients some put us off going again.

My family and I dined in the restaurant on a Saturday and Sunday night over the August bank holiday weekend.The menu is small but varied.I chose the curry and my wife the chicken pasta dish.Both were good sized portions and very tasty. My children also ate from the menu,and really enjoyed their food.MY wife and children also had a pudding which they cleared the plate..Because it was so good and friendly we returned on the Sunday night.My wife and children chose the roast dinner, the plates were full of good food.What was good for meI was that i was able to have a steak from the menu as I am not really a fan of Sunday dinners.The chef walks round and engages in conversation with the diners,Which is a nice touch.The service is friendly and the food was beautiful and fantastic value.The staff could'nt do enough for the kids.Overall the restaurant offers good food at very reasonable prices.

Within walking distance of the Parasol guest house on Walliscote Road, we found the restaurant at the back of the bar area by accident. They didn't ask for reservations, but the place was full by the time we finished our meal. There is a very good selection of dishes plus daily specials, and I warn you - the portions are huge. My husband had steak and chips, I had fishcakes and although we enjoyed the food, neither of us could finish our main course. Two choices on the pudding menu, walnut & coffee cake or ice cream bombe. Both very good. We saw various meals being served while waiting and we could not believe the portion sizes - all at very reasonable prices. Besides our meals, the lasagne & steak pie with mustard mash looked appetising. The waitress was friendly and efficient, serving freshly cooked meals with a smile. A real gem of a place to eat
