The Bear Inn And Burwash Motel - A 300-year-old inn and motel with homemade food, scenic valley views, and dog-friendly bar and garden

Built over 300 years ago, The Bear Inn And Burwash Motel is a 3-star inn and motel in rural Burwash with homemade food, scenic Dudwell valley views, and policies that allow dogs in the bar and garden. The property combines a historic pub with motel-style accommodation, offering traditionally decorated rooms with en suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and new modern beds. Some rooms feature patio doors leading to a small enclosed area with direct garden access. Homemade food using local ingredients is served at the restaurant at The Bear Inn And Burwash Motel, including a Sunday carvery and dishes like fish and chips and chicken Caesar salad. The bar retains wooden beams and offers a wide selection of drinks, including local cask ales. Free Wi-Fi is free in public areas. This property is less than a 20-minute walk from Rudyard Kipling's former home at Bateman's, a National Trust site, and a 10-minute drive from Dallington Forest. Bodiam Castle is 20 minutes away by car. Free private parking is available at The Bear Inn And Burwash Motel. Onsite recreation includes a tennis court and billiards table, and the pub hosts live entertainment and themed dining nights.

“The Bear Inn And Burwash Motel in Burwash offers a genuinely pleasant escape. I found the rooms to be clean and comfortably appointed, with the added bonus of genuinely stunning views over the countryside. The team's welcoming approach and the quality of the pub food, particularly the Sunday carvery and the burgers, made for a thoroughly enjoyable stay.”
