We loved the atmosphere of this lovely and historic pub. The staff were amazing and it was good value for money. The bed was really comfortable and room lovely and quiet even though the pub is just downstairs

Just spent one night in The Bear at Esher. Cannot fault the service at all. All staff very professional and welcoming. Our room was the Polar Bear room. Very clean with a comfortable bed. Nice touch was complimentary bottles of water, tea and coffee making facilities with fresh milk in the mini bar and a couple of pieces of fresh... More

Lovely welcome, our room (Polar Bear) was clean & spacious, comforable bed, it was on the main road but not to noisy, a dull hum came up from the bar but not to intrusive. Plenty of hot water & lovely huge soft white towels. Enjoyed our evening meals, great waitress, nice restaraunt, wine a bit pricey, breakfast 1st day was... More

Excellent room an food with friendly staff. Unfortunately I booked on a night when there was a live band playing, which went on until 12.15am. Music was so loud iit was hard to hear the TV in the room, it really was impossible to try and sleep. Would recommend to others, just check if there's a band on first.

Excellent large clean room which even though it was on the main road did not disturb the sleep of a couple of country bumpkins. Very friendly staff and an extremely good well cooked breakfast really made it a perfect place to stay whilst attending a local function. Car park is a bit stange you have to register to get the...

From the time of booking on the 'phone to our departure, the staff could not have done more for us - they were superb from organising a sandwich "breakfast" for one who had to leave very early, to fixing a taxi to get us from the station to the pub in time for supper. The room had excellent double glazing... More

Had to get the hotel staff to move their car from the customer car park to free up a space.The manager and main receptionsit were friendly but... More

Nice touch to have gratis bottled sparkling... More

We went to The Bear for Sunday lunch. There was one other table seated, yet we still had to wait a half hour for our food. My husband and I ordered the roast beef. The beef was dry and stringy, the roast potatoes were rock hard and shrivelled in the middle, the mashed potato was watery and tasteless, the veg,... More
