About The Bear Hotel

South Street in Wareham sets the scene for The Bear Hotel, a historic property surrounded by the Dorset countryside that draws walkers, cyclists and anglers to the area. The town itself puts pubs, restaurants and other eateries within easy reach, along with golf and fishing nearby for those wanting to fill their days outdoors.

Rooms are en-suite and include family options, with drinks available in room and packed lunches on offer for anyone heading out for the day. Breakfast is served each morning, and there's a restaurant and bar on site for meals later on, plus kids' meals for younger guests. Cycle storage is provided, useful given the surrounding countryside, and reception is staffed around the clock. Pets are welcome, and free WiFi is available throughout.

There is no parking at the property, so anyone driving will need to make alternative arrangements. With entertainment and dining options nearby in Wareham itself, The Bear Hotel works well as a base for exploring this part of Dorset on foot, by bike, or by rod and line.
