The Coat & Bear - Inn in Berkshire
28 Bartholomew Street, Newbury, RG14 5EU, Berkshire
England,
Regno Unito
Ask why there's a bear over the door and you'll hear two stories: one about Newbury-born Paddington creator Michael Bond, the other about the town's legendary coat, made in 1811. Both get a nod here, in a Georgian building that once sold paint and DIY and is now home to a fabulous island bar dressed in deep greens, burgundy and flashes of red.
26 rooms climb through the old and new parts of the building – ask for the Grand Room for exposed brick, space to spread out, and a roll-top tub, or pick something Comfy if that's more your style. Salmon-pink or forest-green panelling, rich fabrics and eclectic prints give each one its own personality. Children are well looked after, too: each gets a drawstring bag stuffed with pencils, puzzles and chocolate to keep them busy.
Pull up a stool for a pint of Good Old Boy, brewed just up the road, or stay for dinner, where Raymond Blanc's seasonal menu turns out properly delicious plates.
