Best KPortal Reviews
The establishment has changed ownership since I left this review. I am yet to meet the new owners.
Lovely people, good atmosphere and food.
Is very dirty place. The owner or hadshafe is a unfriendly, and not a costumers original person. I don't recommend to nobody!
Stayed overnight on way down to Cornwall. Nice comfortable rooms. Six of us had dinner and the steaks are cooked to perfection. All meals served at the same time and exactly as requested. Staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and will definitely stay again.
What an absolute pleasure to stay here. All staff were very polite and efficient. Room was spotless and very comfortable. Breakfast was 1st class and far superior to any other hotels we have stayed at. Loved the band and the locals all embraced us and made us feel at home. Which could have been tricky, considering an hour earlier, they had just lost the rugby world cup, and we are Welsh, lol. Cant wait to stay here again in the near future.
Thanks from Owain and Stevie xxx
The staff were brilliant. Celebrated my 30th birthday here and they went the extra mile with champagne and the most beautiful flowers. We got a free room upgrade in the comfiest bed. Definitely recommend! Thank you
Lovely pub and bed and breakfast! 1800 country inn, with log fires, beautiful located in the lovely market town of Wincanton. Only 20 mins walk, 2 min car ride from the racecourse. Rooms are fresh, spacious and lovely and clean! Breakfast and the pub Food is amazing and service is first class!
Unprepossessing from outside and a bit rum down. Limited menu. However, what they do they do well. Warm welcome, attentive service. Food cooked really well. Didn't book but no problem. Will go again if I'm in the area.
Folks we have just returned from a very disappointing stay at The Bear. I wouldn’t even give this one star so steam well clear.
When we checking in we were surprised to find that Breakfast wasn’t available on Saturday, which in fairness was refunded. However this didn’t really set us up for work on Saturday due to the lack of other places to eat.
We understand that the rooms are at the cheaper end of the scale however the cleanliness was not acceptable. We had to clean the toilet and sink ourselves before we could use it. The carpet was full of dust and the pillows were stained with rips in the duvet and pillowcases.
As we had to leave for work early Saturday we were not able to speak to anyone and although we should have raised the issues Saturday night we were too exhausted to do so.
After a lack of sleep Saturday night due to people running up and down the metal fire escape we decided to try breakfast on Sunday. We tried to use the shower which turned out to be broken, it only allows scalding hot water out (the valve is broken) so we’re unable to wash properly.
We went downstairs for breakfast at nine as were were told this is when it was served. The place was like a ghost town. No staff at all, tea urn was cold and dirty dishes and beer glasses on the table. I made the mistake of looking in the kitchen for someone and I must say I’m pleased we didn’t eat.
At this point we gave up and walked out.
It ruined our weekend in Wincanton and we both felt ill due to not eating in the morning.
This really was not good enough and I expected a full refund for our stay, the owners did promise a refund but have now decide to rip us off instead, no refund has ever happened.
Seems such a shame as the pub has such potential but the owners quite obviously do not care
