Bear Hotel Havant by Greene King Inns

Bear Hotel Havant by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good
"There is free parking at the rear. Tell your sat nav to go to “Bear Inn Car Park” It is marked separately on Google maps as there is no car access from the road at the front. We had confusing information about breakfast, which wasn’t included but no information about times. The check in wasn’t clear about this key information and there was no information in the room. The staff went out of their way to resolve the issue this caused and they were very helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. It was a good size and we had good showers etc. Rooms cleaned during our stay. Close to railway station and bus station."

10/10 Excellent
"We arrived at 2pm but found check in from 4pm, however staff on reception gave us labels to ID our bags and took them into the back office. I asked which items on the menu were Dairy Free and same member of staff went to see the chef. He returned with notations of which items suitable and which could be adapted. I chose Hake and chips and a large portion arrived with peas and DF tartare sauce. Our room was ready soon after we finished our meal and the Manager helped us take our luggage to our room. We attended a party nearby and when we returned we each had a snack. Husband enjoyed spicy chicken and I had hummus which was beautifully presented with a chopped sauce of peppers and pomegranate seeds together with warm bread. We chose the full English breakfast which was not included in our booking and they were delicious and huge. The following morning I requested a the same breakfast and husband had a large portion of scrambled egg on toast. Staff members were excellent checking allergy contents and even offered oat milk although I had asked for black tea. The bar and hotel are Victorian in origin and well restored with a modern twist. Our room was basic but the large bed was clean and very comfortable and the bathroom had a huge walk in shower."

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent resort, we stayed in a 2 bed apartment, very spacious, well equipped and on the ground floor we benenfitted from sliding doors and some outdoor space. We are at the restaurant on three occasions, afternoon tea, which was excellent, evening meal, which was delicious, and breakfast. The latter was buffet style, reasonable choice, have had better but it was by no means bad, though the bar was set pretty high with the other meals. The pool and sauna were excellent, the gym was huge, would highly recommend"

"Stayed in the loft double room for 3 nights. The room is quite rustic and not massive. It did have an en-suite shower room. However, it does need some updating as the sink is cracked and the shower and tiling quite dated. Staff were all very friendly. Breakfast was top notch, plentiful and extremely tasty."
