About The Bear Hotel

Contemporary clean design to compliment the old features of the hotel. We hope you'll be surprised by what we've done. All refurbished rooms have stunning bathrooms, super comfy beds, Egyptian cotton linen and all the 21st Century toys you would expect. The hotel can be a retreat from work when on business or a home away from home when on holiday. Here at The Bear Hotel we know a thing or two about food and wine and not because people have been coming here since the early 13th Century to enjoy the finest of both. No. We have a dedicated team of professionals who are here because they also simply love good food and great wine.. The Bear Hotel now has a contemporary new bar, a luxurious new brasserie, plus private dining room for up to 20 people.

The Bear at Hungerford is one of the oldest and most historic Inns of England and is reputed to date back to the 13th Century. Standing on what has been called "the Crossroads of England" it has witnessed many famous events in our history. Its name and fine sign derive from the famous ?Bear and Ragged Staff? badge of the Earls of Warwick, owners of the Manor of Chilton Foliat in the 15th Century to which The Bear belonged. The Coat of Arms over the entrance on Charnham Street is that of the Popham Family who were Lords of the Manor of Chilton Foliat from 1607 to 1929.
