The White Bear is a charming establishment nestled just on the high street in Bedale, a picturesque market town in North Yorkshire. This delightful town is situated only two miles from the A1 motorway and serves as the entrance to Swaledale and the Yorkshire Dales, earning it the title of “The Gateway to the Dales.” Bedale is steeped in Georgian history, with elegant buildings lining its historic market square. Among its architectural treasures is the 12th-century Church of St Gregory, often celebrated as one of Britain’s finest places of worship. Visitors to Bedale can enjoy unique shops, scenic walks, and a variety of family-friendly attractions. For those interested in heritage travel, Bedale boasts its own railway station, Bedale Station, part of the Wensleydale Railway. This heritage railway offers limited services connecting the town to other charming destinations in the area.

Entering from the main road, customers are welcomed into a small foyer providing access to the letting bedrooms, catering kitchen, and ladies’ toilets. To the left is a cosy snug, currently arranged as a breakfast room, while to the right lies the main bar area. The impressive L-shaped bar occupies a prominent position within the T-shaped room and is complemented by high stools, a fruit machine, and an adjoining seating area. An open fire, carpeted flooring, high poser tables, a mix of bench and low-level seating, TVs, and soft furnishings all combine to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The décor throughout reflects the excellent standard achieved during the recent refurbishment. Large bay windows throughout the property provide an abundance of natural light and pleasant views onto the main street. Straight ahead is the dedicated sports area, complete with a pool table, dartboards, and TVs showing live sports. Featuring a blend of wooden and carpeted flooring, alongside bench seating, loose tables and chairs, and high poser tables, this versatile space is ideal for both playing and spectating.

The five letting bedrooms are located on the first floor and have all been refurbished to an excellent standard. Each room benefits from its own en-suite facilities, offering comfortable and well-presented guest accommodation. Three doubles, one single, and one spacious family room.

A door from the sports area leads to the enclosed outdoor space, which benefits from partial cover and attractive festoon lighting.

The private accommodation consists of one family-sized bedroom, a full-size family bathroom with a separate shower and a kitchen/lounge area. There is also a separate living room downstairs, away from the pub area.
