A very nice old pub in a great location. Good on-site parking and a choice of bars to spend the evening. The inclusive full breakfast is plentiful, nicely cooked and served up. The evening meals are also very well apportioned and cooked to a high standard. Last but certainly not least, are the staff. They are all very friendly and give the impression they want you to enjoy your stay with them.

Very little really. The room was certainly very clean but part of the bathroom was probably due for an update. I got the impression that work was planned so it wasn’t something that would prevent us from returning.

It was a central location for exploring Shipston on Stour and surrounding area; we only stayed the one night, but enjoyed our stay, along with the cooked breakfast. The room was comfortable and quiet as we had requested

The room was at the top of 2 narrow flights of stairs, so not ideal with 2 sizeable suitcases and no lifts! the decor was somewhat tired, and could do with a face lift. Staff were friendly, though clearly stretched in their work, so sometimes difficult to make contact with - particularly at reception.

Great evening atmosphere at this busy traditional pub, had some great chats with the regulars. Breakfast was amazing, and all the staff were lovely. Added bonus of onsite parking at the rear of the pub too. A great base for exploring The Cotswolds.

Upstairs/room 1 could do with a bit of a spruce up, carpets and paint work were a bit tired - things like this don't bother us too much as we were just after a base, but I can imagine others would be disappointed compared to online photos - so if you are picky, probably not the place for you. But the staff, atmosphere and food by far overrode this tiny improvement :) :)

Staff were attentive and extremely helpful. The bar tender was full of advice on local attractions to visit and the meals were fantastic ( highly recommend the home made pies ) Breakfast was excellent and the service was too. Excellent choice of reasonably priced beers and other drinks at the bar. Plenty of entertainment supplied in the outside bar area for the younger clientele, karaoke, was one example.

Unfortunately the decoration of our room required a little attention but I think they are working on these details as new carpets had recently been fitted

The food at the White bear was of a high standard and was enjoyed by both of us. The staff were all committed to providing the best possible experience. The room itself was spacious and well equipped with a good en-suite. The White Bear is located in the conservation area of the town with good access to the local amenities. There was good parking provision to the rear of the property, accessible from an adjacent road.

Although perhaps not foreseen, we could have been notified of the delayed opening owing to electrical problems. The stairway to the first floor is steep and may provide problems for some. The carpeting in the bedroom would be better replaced, detracting from an otherwise most attractive room.

Food good, friendly staff and locals. A big shower, fluffy towels. Ample beverages in room. Window opened allowing fresh air in to cool room. Very dog friendly. Lovely shops, loads of pubs, river walks. The tea shop situated on corner of sheep Street, was excellent, had a tasty cream scone here. Great location for access to Broadway, Morton on the Marsh and Chipping Camden.

The white Bear is a bit tired in decoration cracks . The floor in the room was on a slope. Couldn't really use one the bedside tables. View was wall but it was cotswold stone. All of the above is due to been an old building.

great location, very helpful staff, Lucy and Emma were lovely . nothing too much of a problem and really made us feel at home. My husband was part Way through a very long charity walk and he was clapped in and given a pint. Breakfast was very good and plenty of it. The room was spotless and tastefully laid out. All in all a great place to stay in the area especially if you are walking the Shakespeare Way.

Great location with very friendly staff and local people in the hotel bar where we caught the rugby 6 nations game before going out to a local restaurant, returned just before midnight for a quiet nights sleep. Super fried English breakfast plus a lovely pot of tea was much appreciated

Caution, room 5 at top of stairs has very low headroom for a 188cm chap like myself, but other than that room okay.

All the staff and the owner were genuinely friendly and helpful, the food in the restaurant was delightful and breakfast lovely too. The room was comfortable, clean and bright we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again we would highly recommend.

There was nothing to dislike everything was fine.

Attentive and helpful staff. Comfortable, clean room. Excellent bar and restaurant. Superbly tasty evening meals. Breakfast well presented and beautifully cooked. Easy parking. Pleasant and welcoming atmosphere.

I would have liked a longer stay but personal commitments didn't allow.
