Nice Inn, the rooms are above a local bar, it was noisy until the bar closed. The rooms where clean and the staff friendly. It is located on a small country road, far from any town.

Cosy stay, lovely location
A lovely location. The room was very spacious and comfortable with a huge bed. A lovely cosy pub to have a drink in as well and a very good base if you’re visiting the nearby Brewery. Would definitely recommend their restaurant for breakfast!

Slightly disappointed after our last superb stay
Understood that no breakfast would be available (as I read) but had expected evening meals to be served. It would be helpful to be added. Room 1, shower support bracket broken making it impossible to have a proper shower. Misc damage to parts of room although size of room applauded and appreciated. We could only find one shower towel (and shower mat) in the morning nothing else. We stayed some 7 or 8 years ago and would have said everything couldn't have been better when we left.

Great ales and a comfy snooze
From the moment you step inside the Pear Tree Inn, you are met with a warm and friendly welcome. Located in the charming village of Hook Norton, this could become my fave pub and village in the UK! Adorned with beautiful hanging baskets and the namesake pear tree, ripe with fruit, the pub has a large beer garden, perfect for sipping a cool pint in the summer sun. Our bedroom was beautifully furnished, a blend of rustic wooden furniture, modern furnishings and traditional roof beams. The bathroom was well equipped with lovely toiletries and a huge fluffy white bath sheet. Downstairs in the bar, you will find a great selection of ales and ciders available from the local brewery down the road, along with a good selection of wines and spirits. Highly recommend this inn as a place to drink and snooze!

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting. The family room was perfect and very comfortable. We would have liked it if there was breakfast available but it wasn't the end of the world.

The family room was clean and large. Getting to it through the pub was disconcerting because it was unexpected. There wasn’t annoying noise, even though the pub was full for game night.

Basic accomodation
The best thing about our stay here was the breakfast at the Brewery up the road - but we had to ask for the discount vouchers towards this each day, they weren't provided automatically. The room was large but fairly basic, a few cracks iin the walls and short on furniture. There was no heating or mechanical ventlation in the bathroom. But the bed was comfortable and the heating made a valliant effort to keep the room warm in very cold conitions and the shower worked OK.

I booked this as a stopover on business. Nice location, friendly staff. Modest rooms, suitable for getting some sleep. Nice Brewery museum behind the pub. A fair bit of noise from the pub when up in your room but to be expected.

Good overnight stay or base to explore
Small country pub, with rooms situated on 1st floor. Room we occupied was very spacious with large bed, plenty of storage space for a longer stay. Facilities were all of a good standard, tea, coffee, water & even a sample beer available. No food available on site, but plenty of options in surrounding area. A very good breakfast came in the price & was taken at the Hook Norton Brewery just up the road. Only downsides for some people would be access to the room was via the back of the bar & a fairly steep staircase & there was consistent noise from cooling fans that may be a problem for light sleepers.

Noisy but nice
Nice, friendly, but a little noisy. Unlike a lot of very old buildings, this one seems to have thin walls , so the sound from the bar is very loud in the bedroom. Nice touch is the free bottle of beer, and it’s obviously very convenient for a brewery tour!

Wonderful one-night stay
Wonderful one-night stay at the Pear Tree Hotel and will definitely visit again. From the moment we walked through the door it felt like home. Fantastic helpful staff where nothing was too much trouble, with super thoughtful touches like the free bottle of Hooky, locally sourced coffee and vouchers for breakfast at the local Hook Norton brewery. An easy 10 out of 10.

Excellent for stop over or for walking in area
Exceptionally large attic room at the top of the Pub. There is parking but car park is small & usually full. Very welcoming host, very large, comfortable bed (King++) with all the usual items available. Were not doing meals at time of visit as waiting for new manager to arrive, but got vouchers (£12.50 each) for breakfast at nearby Hook Norton brewery, which was great. Their is another pub close by (The Sun) which provided meals if required. Info also left re walks in surrounding area was apprechiated.

Little gem
We had one of the best nights sleep in a b&b/ hotel. Friendly staff and tasty breakfast in the brewery up the lane. It’s good value for money. Don’t let initial impressions of the bar put you off it’s an old building but spacious rooms!
