My girlfriend and I visited Margate last weekend so we could visit her family and celebrate a kind-of-big-birthday weekend. We decided to stay at the Bear Guest House for three nights as it was very close to the sea front, was reasonable priced, close to the town centre and looked OK on the Guest House's official website. Both my partner... More

Myself and my 12 year old son stayed here for one night. I must admit when I first went in i was a bit unsure. It is very different from any B&B I've stayed in before but by the time we left I realised this was a good thing. It has personality. If you want bland cream walls and no... More

The landlady was very kind and socialable, Sharon looks after us very well and made us very welcome. The breakfast was a very large full English with all the trimmings. The place is located over looking the sea with some great views. The room was tidy and had a lot of character, the beds were comfy and the shower hot... More

The Bear Guest House is a charming family guest house run by Sharon and Tony. All the rooms are good sized and immaculately clean with en-suite showers and most importantly comfy clean beds. OK, they don’t have en-suite toilets but they are available on every floor so no problems there. All rooms have a large modern TV, fridge, DVD and... More

Hotel is in a good location right by the seafront and it is fairly quiet. Hotel has lots of quaint memorabilia on the walls which adds a personal touch, although may be cluttered for some people's tastes. Room, bed, TV and shower were all fine. Toilet is outside on the landing but this really is no problem. Sharon is very... More

I can not fault "the bear guest house" at all ! Even though the rooms did not have an un- suit the toilet was close to hand down the corridor & the shower was great (that was in the room). As for the breakfast , I still can not get over the size of it (huge) ! There was a... More

Colin and myself stayed at The Bear for two nights. Wot fantastic hosts Sharon and Tony are, the breakfast was to die for!! Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made us feel very welcome. Having returned to Margate after 34 years, staying at The Bear proved to us that Margate has lost none of its uniqueness. Well... More
