One night stay
It was a lovely place to stay. A very oldy worldy building, full of character. The food and service were great. I was a little disappointed with the room which was quite small, although the bed and amenities were fine. For the price paid I would of expected a nicer room, but with the special offer we had including dinner, bed and breakfast this was ok.
Great location & characterful accommodation
The Bear is certainly well located for walkers such as myself & my family, with many options both straight out the door and within short driving distance. It is also particularly well located for real ale fans, with a huge number of excellent pubs close by, as well as nice towns & villages (Cirencester, Nailsworth, Bibury etc). The hotel itself is very welcoming & characterful, with log fires and a general atmosphere of relaxation and comfort. Both staff and food were pleasant rather than excellent, although the breakfast was good. The room (I shared a twin with my son) was small but clean & comfortable, in a building adjacent to the main hotel. Very dog friendly too.
Lovely relaxing short break at the Bear of Rodborough
Had stayed here 4 years ago and loved it. Some great improvements to the garden make it ideal for summer weddings. Our recent stay was very relaxing. Lovely old bar area with real fire & restaurant, both serving great food made for a stress free break.
Fantastic stay and we will be back!
Loved our stay and wish we d booked longer. Only grumble really was the outdated room with dire need of refurbishment but can be overlooked when it s such a fantastic hotel.
Cosy night away
Lovely hotel with lots of areas to have a drink and relax. Good choice of food for dinner. Nice to walk across the common into Stroud if you want to get out in the surrounding area
Very nice Hotel and very peacetful location and lots to do, would recomace to a friend
The Two M s
A very warm & friendly hotel, the menu should be reviewed. Maintain the current standards of cleanliness and the warmth during cold weather.
Another enjoyable break in The Bear
This was the third time that we have chosen The Bear for a short break, it was extremely pleasant, and we'll be back.
