I thoroughly enjoyed my three-night stay at The Bear and would highly recommend. The room was comfortable and perfectly appointed. The adjacent pub was convenient for meals, and everything was delicious. Ronan and every other staff member I came into contact with was top notch. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place to stay outside the hustle of Oxford, do not hesitate to stay at The Bear. I will definitely stay here again.

Stayed in one of the four outside bedroom, whilst okay, the bathroom needs an overhaul. Bedroom was comfortable albeit cobwebs on the lights above the bed.

What a lovely find in proximity to our Oxford holiday! Cumnor is conveniently quiet to the hustle and bustle of Oxford. The room was spacious and welcoming, hotel staff were excellent, and meals there were quite satisfying!
