The Bear announces that it is where history meets luxury. We saw a lot of history but little luxury! There was an event in Woodstock which meant accommodation was scarce. We were going to a funeral and desperately needed a bed in he area. We have never paid £350 for Bed and Breakfast before, plus, of course the £10 car park charge, but decided it was necessary. Our room (34) was a long way from the reception and being in our mid seventies some help negotiating the various doors and stairs with our luggage would have been helpful. The room was very very hot when we arrived but we were pleased to see the air conditioning. However, the control pad was complicated and there were no instructions. We sorted it out eventually and the temperature started to drop. We left the room for an hour and when we returned the air conditioning had reverted to some preset programme and was attempting to return the temperature to 32 deg! It was the middle of the night before it became comfortable. Fortunately we had brought a bottle of water with us, there was certainly none in the room, just an empty fridge. The fabric of the roman blinds in our room was shredded, they looked pretty historical. Cannot fault the cooked breakfast my husband had, but the fruit salad we would both normally have chosen was cut in huge unappetising chunks. I had to tell the staff that the apple juice was fizzy and fermenting and the toast was overcooked and made from such thin bread it was almost inedible. When we arrived we were pleased to see one or two spaces in the carpark but it is so narrow that it is almost impossible to get into them. Took about 20 minutes of shuffling. The receptionist had omitted to tell us there was another area along the back road. We had a drink in the bar during our evening at the hotel which was spoilt by the loud conversation from behind the bar, mainly a monologue by the barman. We wont be going back.
