A little bit about us…
Dating from the 18th century, The Bear is a Marlborough pub which is an authentic addition to a historic market town. Run by Iain and Liz, The Bear pub is situated at the start of Marlborough High street next to the Town Hall, Marlborough is home to one of the widest high streets in Britain, offering a cast space for regular markets which still occur to this date.
Traditional elements of the hotel create a homely atmosphere. The recently refurbished bedrooms are in keeping with the hotel’s history but with additional modern comforts.
The bar area has also been refurbished and offers real ales, premium lagers and fine wines, perfect after a busy day exploring the area.
“Of all the pubs in Marlborough, The Bear is definitely my favourite”.

Ok pub but there are nicer ones in the area
Hotel in beautiful old town. Our room for 4 people was spacious, big beds and big blankets on them. We enjoyed our sleep. Only minus was that there was no bathroom in the room. Only shared bathroom with shower. But all around nice place.
Room was very nice and clean, with a nice clean bathroom. It was on the 1st floor and very noisy due to the pub jukebox blasting out all afternoon and then as it was a Saturday there was a live band which was even louder. They do mention this on the website so it was no surprise, but be ready for it. All in all the room was perfectly OK, and the noise was expected, so not a big problem. The pub is in a great location at the end of the High St, very handy for the shops.
The biggest mistake not checking reviews. The only positive remark of this terrible place is that the towels were white and in good condition. The same cannot be said of the shower the bed the stairs etc. It would helped if they had provided readily available information on PARKING and local restaurants. NOT CHEAP. the bar was popular and VERY NOISY THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF AROUND 11pm I dread to think what would have happened in a real Emergency
What a lovely spot! Easy to find and nice and central. Joel (the manager) is a super friendly chap, always happy to stop and chat and ensure we were having a good stay. He directed us to good places to visit and eat in the area as his kitchen was closed due to Covid. He was a great example of what a good publican should be! The room was clean, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was great too with a good sized shower, lovely flooring and plenty of shelf space. Staying here made us feel at home, so much so we extended our stay by an extra 2 nights. We will definitely be back!
