Basingstoke Vacations from $1,131

I spent 3 nights in the bear hotel, hotel is old and just what I was expecting, food was great and reasonable prices room and bed was clean staff were fantastic and I would definitely recommend it and I would stay again, definitely not 5 stars but did the job for me and my son visiting the goodwood festival of speed . Free parking and reasonable prices for drinks at the bar.

The room was clean and 2 members of staff out of the dozen I saw were friendly and nice. Apart from that, the place needs some serious refurbs doing. Lost door handles, broken window catches, ripped curtains and no aircon in the room I was in on the hottest 2 nights of the year to that point. Just a dusty old fan that was so loud I couldn't hear the storm outside that washed the pigeon skeletons across the flat roof bit to right outside my window. Parking was convenient and the breakfast was ok. Maybe service is better when there's more people but apart from the 1st lad that booked me in and the young girl serving dinner, the rest were miserable. Must say though, the coach load of pensioners had some eye opening conversations

Great location for is, we stayed last year, some of the Pennine equipment is old, both our TV and iron were broken when we arrived, but the staff were very prompt in exchanging both items

I got more than I expected, it's excellent

Good size room with everything you need, really good breakfast
