About Bear of Burton
Bear of Burton occupies a period building on Salisbury Road in Christchurch, its traditional character kept intact alongside more modern comforts. With only 10 rooms, it has the feel of a small, personable hotel rather than a large chain establishment, and it welcomes pets as well as families.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children, who can also order from a kids' menu in the restaurant. Guests can start the day with breakfast, and there's a bar and drinks available in-room for the evening. The garden and outdoor seating area give a spot to sit outside, with garden views from parts of the property, while meeting rooms and business services suit those travelling for work. Reception operates around the clock, and free on-site parking is provided.
The setting gives good access to both the Dorset coast and the New Forest, with walking and cycling routes nearby along with golf, fishing and watersports. Pubs, restaurants and other eateries are within easy reach, and there's local entertainment on offer too, making Bear of Burton a practical base for exploring the area on foot, by bike or by car.
