Lovely stay. The staff upgraded us to a larger room because of the extra stairs we had to climb with our luggage. They did not charge us. Dinner was delicious, and the service wonderful.

Perfect getaway!

Lovely stay at the Bear of Burton. We treated our sons and their partners to an evening meal and overnight stay. The whole evening was great. The atmosphere was perfect. The staff were all extremely helpful, and our rooms were delightful. I can’t fault the meal, the service, the room or the lovely breakfast. I would recommend a stay here.

Bear of Burton is the Best!

The Bear of Burton was an absolutely amazing place to stay. Was in Ramsdown room which was the most beautiful and comfortable room I have ever stayed in with cute bear details! Easy walking distance from Christchurch train station (1.6 miles) and to sites around the town. DInner and breakfasts were fantastic and delicious! Best gin and tonics. Bed was comfortable and property was quiet. Had the best rest of my trip here and was sad to leave the luxury room and food. Location also holds craft morning once a month with local crafters showing and selling handmade wares during breakfast. Got some Christmas and baby gifts done before heading out. Absolutely wonderful stay, 10 of 10 and I will return in future!

The biggest problem was the lack of a lift. As we are both mobile but elderly my husband had a heavy case to carry up a spiral staircase to the first floor. The lady did offer to carry it for us but there must have been ‘a man’ in the hotel. We had been previously allocated a top floor room but the lady kindly changed our accommodation to the first floor. We didn’t eat at the Hotel in the evening. We thought for instance the rib eye steak pricey.

Beautiful room and incredible food

Beautiful stay in the Goldilocks room, room was well decorated and very comfortable. We had the room with the bath in which was stunning, great selection of amenities for the bath too. Our dog did come for the stay too (which was £20 extra) and it was very easy to get out in the night if they needed a toilet trip. Dinner was superb as was breakfast (cooked to order) I would honestly say no complaints at all about the whole stay, perfect birthday/babymoon trip for us - thanks!
