Great value with a tidy, but very dated, room. Plentiful tea and coffee in the room. Car parking at rear. Amazing breakfast, served by such a friendly staff member. Good location for getting around.
The venue itself doesn't feel overly welcoming, with dogs in bar areas not on leads and not being controlled, and not much seating. Staff and drinkers congregated below bedroom windows, using bad language and being loud at late and early hours. Room in desperate need of refurbishment with sharp broken tiles on bathroom floor, broken headboard and in need of double glazing, although I believe it's recently changed hands and work has started on freshening up the rooms. Broken glass all over parts of the carpark and disgusting amounts of dog💩. No WiFi. Could be really good, and hopefully after some work, it will be.

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.

Home cooked breakfast. Large, clean room with bay window. Central location overlooking the town's main Street. Complimentary guest beer in the room. Friendly hosts.
Everything was great but guests need to remember that it is a pub! Karaoke was on during our first night (finished at a reasonable hour).

The breakfast was huge. Great choice of Full English variations. Staff attentive and very pleasant. Straight forward service, no fancy add ons,
The smoking area was outside bedrooms and folks were pretty loud late on into evening and smell of cigarettes etc wafted upstairs, perhaps situate the smoking area further down the car park near pool room.

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.

Lovely old pub and quaint room with croked floor. It was clean and the food in the bar was good but nothing was exceptional. It is the cheaper end so was as expected but still £100 for a night. I would stay again though. It was a Saturday night and the bar was very loud until after 11, but to be expected in a pub near Christmas.
Nothing particular. Shower room small, and TV small but for the price it was fine.

Really friendly welcome and a great location. The breakfast was great and the staff were good too.
Was a little noisy at night thought we were there a Friday and Saturday night and it didn’t bother us.
