Overall Ratings & Reviews Bear of Rodborough Hotel

Piping hot room, windows that cant fully open, guests snoring and the walls were so thin I couldnt sleep. Bathroom shower took only 2 or 3 minutes till it was overflowing due to blocked pipes. Horrible, expensive food at the restaurant. However, staff are lovely and the location is nice.

Lovely hotel/pub in a very quiet area

Perfect! Lovely spacious room, excellent facilities, large comfortable bed, great to have plenty of space with 2 dogs. Superb shower with quality toiletries. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Menu and quality of food excellent. So much space both indoors in bar/eating areas and outdoors in beer garden. Best ‘dog friendly’ hotel we’ve stayed in, can’t wait to book again.

From start to finish our 2 night break was excellent. From the warm welcome when checking in to us checking out the staff made us want for nothing. The room we stayed in was clean and was cleaned with everyting restocked. It had all the appliances you would expect, kettle for provided tea and coffee, ironing board and kettle including a safe and T.V. Although in the adjoining country house, we never felt that we was not part of the main hotel building. There was also an outdoor bar which was open when we had pizzas on the Friday of our stay which were freshly cooked in the outdoor pizza oven. The Sunday dinner was of high quality and again, the staff during meal times were thorough and efficent. The hotel is situated just off the common which gives access to plenty of walks. Overall I would recommend the hotel to anyone as it caters for all.

Really pleasant stay with wonderful views and a furry bear!

Everything

Absolutely stunning hotel. Beer garden a great space on a lovely summer's day. Staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms were comfy and spacious and the blackout blinds made for a good night's sleep. Breakfast very good I will be returning if I'm in the area.

Period property with it's quirks. Staff very friendly. Ample parking. Rooms clean with a nice touch of adding quality items in the room (tea pigs tea bags, Molton Brown etc) Breakfast excellent.

Lovely character property. Rooms are worth the money. Breakfast very good value.

The area around the hotel was amazing. sceanic and peaceful. Lovely walks and lots of nearby to visit. We stayed in a pet friendly room that was ok. Some redecoration needed. Smelt abit doggy but also being on the ground floor and next to the door, there was alot of banging and people chatting as they were coming and going. No sound proofing and i could clearly hear people using the toilet. Although the room had beautiful views across the valley, directly in front of our window was some seating so we had to have the curtains drawn for privacy most of the time. Another thing to point out was the wifi randomly stopped working and would not come back on. We had gone for dinner and wanted to relax in the room and were only about to do so for about half an hour before the wifi connection said it had no service. A call to reception wasnt helpful as was told it happens, signal drops in and out and just try again in a bit. The wifi didnt work for the rest of our stay. Dinner and breakfast was fine, reasonably priced. I couldnt say the food was exceptional but it was good nonetheless. Our doggy got spoiled with a sausage in the morning and i thought it a nice touch the restaurant offered a doggy dinner (albeit at £8.50) I would like to point out that staff are lovely. There was a particular lady at reception who was fabulous and super helpful, giving us info and guidance about local areas and what to do. Our stay was fine but if returning to the area again, id stay somewhere d

The Bear is in a beautiful location,we had a great view from our room.The best thing about the Bear are the staff. Without exception they friendly,welcoming and most helpful

Very friendly welcoming receptionist and staff. Good size one bed room and had a great breakfast.

I originally come from the Stroud area and know the hotel well. As we were visiting family we didn’t eat at the hotel so we aren’t able to comment on the full experience. The setting is great as was the view from our hotel room. Would we go back? Of course, we never got a chance to visit Winstons.

Lovely Cotswold hotel, restaurant and bar. Especially good being able to bring our dog and stay in one of the dog friendly rooms. Stunning local countryside.

It’s a shame to rate this beautiful place so low but it’s purely down to the service. Firstly, my name was spelled wrong on my room card. Not a big issue, I made my way to my room. I booked valley view specifically as I wanted to enjoy that on my solo trip. I look out of my window and I see… the car park. I try to call the reception a few times, no answer. I try to call on my mobile, get through but they can’t hear me so quickly hang up. No call back. I make my way back to reception to ask them if I can change room, but I’m told ‘we have a large booking and they’ve taken all the valley view rooms. I can’t change you’. No apology or offer of compensation/a good will gesture to make it up to me. Baring in mind I paid for valley view! Fine. Evening comes and I fancied a bath. I go to run it and I see multiple suspicious curly hairs… nope! Shower it is :) Room was quite cold despite putting the radiator on max. I thought I may give them feedback at checkout when they ask me how my stay was… oh, they didn’t ask! Just took my payment and goodbye. I would love to stay here again but I’m just so disappointed by the service. The place really is beautiful.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff for an amazing stay.As soon as I approached the reception the staff made me feel welcome and was very helpful. My room felt like home from home it was warm and welcoming with the little touches on the tea tray, to the cosy bedding and water next the bed.The bathroom had luxury products and I liked that they refill them. If you would like a meal in the beautiful restaurant that has stunning views or a drink in the cosy bar, I would highly recommend it. I definitely will be returning with friends and will recommend the hotel to my family. Thank you again.

The hotel is beautiful with a lot of charm and character and our room was lovely. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast was poor and could easily be improved. The eggs benedict and the veggie breakfast were both quite tasteless. The selection of pastries and cereals etc were good though. I'm sure last time we stayed here the cooked breakfast was better. Strangly the curtains covered the radiator and so blocked some of the heat but the room was still warm.

I chose the hotel as a half way meet up location with good friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even with Storm Darragh !

Excellent room,food and staff

Quiet place to stay near Stroud!
