The breakfast at the Straw bear is head and shoulders above everywhere else in Whittlesey. I've lived in Whittlesey for three years and over that time I've tried everywhere for a breakfast, I wasn't aware the straw bear done a breakfast but it was cooked to perfection (especially the eggs) I couldn't go anywhere else for breakfast now

Generally a good stay but on the morning of my stay there was not any staff available to the business in order to provide breakfast. Although marketed as a B&B you do have to pay extra for breakfast and book in advance. The bedding and towels were a bit tired but it was a reasonably clean room. Important context: My experience was a 1 night stay and does not represent this establishment in it's entirety. No-one in hospitality sets out to provide a poor experience. Anyone can have an off day

We booked three rooms for a one night stay, a double and two singles, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. We needed a very early breakfast and it was no issue for the cook to come in early to ensure our breakfast was ready for 7.45 instead of the normal 8.30. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable and our evening meal lovely. Such a great menu. Fantastic value

Overnight stay en route to a funeral nearby. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Room was clean but very small. En-suite was tiny with the smallest sink I’ve ever seen. Lovely big mirror but no socket within reach for a hairdryer or straighteners. This is definitely a pub with rooms which is inexpensive.. There was a staff shortage, however, they arranged for someone, who was also friendly and welcoming, to come in to organise breakfast but it was deep fried and unappetising. We appreciated being able to remain on the premises beyond the checkout time. The staff we met are an asset.

Cracking Sunday lunch here! They also do take away Sunday roast if you don't want to eat in. Prices good and staff friendly. Plenty of parking. Update Jan 2023 Just wanted to add about breakfast. Been a couple of times lately and to be honest it knocks every other place in Whittlesey into touch! Not only is the food good quality, cooked fresh and amount great, the prices are fantastic. £8 for full English with 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 3 hash browns, beans, tomatoes, egg, mushrooms and toast. Plus unlimited tea and coffee. You won't be disappointed.

Had mixed grill asked for salad instead of chips. They brought it out with chips (I don't eat chips) sent it back. I asked for steak to be medium rare it came out well done. The wife's meal was very bland. No one came over and asked us if the meal was OK. When we paid we said about the issues they just said we will tell the owners. We certainly won't be going back. The lady at the bar did not apologise or even seem bothered!

Great location for us, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful providing you don’t visit when university students are working part time there as they have no idea what to do which is not their fault as they obviously are given no training. Anyway, Good beers lagers and wine as well as super food at good prices can’t fault that at all It would be nicer if you didn’t have to look into the ladies toilet while you were eating as the door is always open, but that’s just a niggle and would never put me off going there (unless someone came out with their dress tucked into their pants).

We ate here last night. The tables were all reserved using cute personalised wooden signs for each couple. The meal was 2 courses for £15 & add a bottle of wine for £10. We chose steak for our main course which was cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were the same as normal regardless of the £15 deal . Service was quick and all in all a fab night. Definitely recommend.

The pub also had plenty of seating and a large wall mounted TV for the sports etc. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

I booked a stop over and stayed at the Straw Bear. The welcome was great. So friendly with lots of advice on where to eat as the pub wasn't serving food that night. Took a 10 minute stroll into town and found a really great curry house. Wandered back and went to my lovely room... super clean, cosy and comfortable. Also amazing value compared to the A1 national chains. Breakfast was lovely and again super friendly. Good coffee too. I will visit again because this little gem happens in just the right place in the middle of nowhere! Thank you for a great stay.

Stayed here whilst working in Peterborough. We arrived early and the staff member was lovely. She asked if we could wait 30 minutes for the rooms to be sorted so we went to the shop. When we came back the rooms we’re ready. We stayed in the annex and the room was great. Very clean, comfy beds and a great shower. Would stay here again next time we’re in Peterborough. The only down side is it’s a bit out of the way and ideally need a vehicle to get to the shops etc.
