Easy to find and with great views on the drive to the hotel, we checked in to this luxurious old-English inn at the start of the annual Easter Beer Festival. No lager louts here, though - this festival was a celebration of all things English, with great local food, beer, music (folk and jazz) and friendly patrons and staff. We... more

Booked the Bear for a birthday surprise, guided by TA reviews. This is the closest we have had to its own description, have learned to manage our expectations from experience! The Bear is beautiful - clean, charming, 'olde worlde' and a lovely atmosphere. We booked on the website for one night with dinner and a supplement for a Deluxe room.... more

We stayed at this hotel just for one night. From the moment we arrive until the moment we left the service was first class. The girl at reception was really helpful at all times. We first checked in into a room on the 3rd floor, it was really nice but a little bit noisy so we asked for another room.... more

I booked this hotel for my husbands 40th direct through their website. We really enjoyed our stay, only draw backs were how cold it was only had blow heaters in the bedroom, for some reason the radiators were not working and when we went to dinner in the Restaurant it was absolutely freezing. I suggest to drink a few glasses... more

The rooms are extremely well appointed and clean and the staff are tremendously helpful. The food is superb and the environment is charming. This hotel really does set the standard. The Super Sunday Saver is great... more

We stayed at this hotel for two nights from the 3rd & 4th January 2008. The hotel is quite hard to find, However if you follow the signs for Minchampton you will eventually get to Rodborough Common and easy to find from there. Situated, high in the hills and with beautiful scenery (weather permitting) There is ample car park space,... more

Have just returned from a two day New Year break at the Bear at Rodborough. Our room was large, warm, quiet, well furnished and spotlessly clean. Staff were extremely friendly, helpful and well trained. Special mention due for the General Manager, Donna (restauant manager) and Natasha (receptionist). Food was good too, and very well presented. Met many really nice people,... more

I took my girlfriend to The Bear of Rodborough to celebrate her birthday. We had a very pleasant stay indeed. We booked a superior room which included a huge bed. The rest of the room was equally as comfortable. On arrival we found the staff very pleasant and courteous. We booked for dinner, bed and breakfast which we enjoyed very... more

My husband and I booked this hotel for my Birthday weekend based on location and their website which looks fab. First thing that annoyed us was that we lugged our cases up the steps to Reception only to find that our room was in the annexe, so had to lug them back again. On arriving at what was in fact... more
