We sadly only stayed for a couple of nights but wish we had chosen to stay longer during our tour of England. I was pleasantly surprised as to the overall quality and service and of their staff. We found the room super comfortable. Excellent bed. Great pillows and just what we needed after a week at a less than stellar air BnB. Book your stay at this wonderful establishment. Eat at their restaurant and enjoy all that they have to offer. If we are back in the area the Bear will be at the top of our places to stay in the future.

The main reason for our stay was to visit friends we have not seen for several years who were only a short walk away from the hotel. The hotel was excellent and can be highly recommended.

My room was above the cube and courtyard which I found noisy at 10.30 at night. I had the windows open for fresh air and to keep cool as the duvet was not a summer one and therefore my sleep was an interrupted sleep. The staff were very attentive and polite.

A charming hotel in the heart of Cowbridge
This is a charming hotel. We were on the third floor in an alcove room. The free breakfast is at their sister restaurant across the street, The Penny Farthing, which was cute and delicious. We were happy with just about everything except that our toilet was leaking across the floor and one of the showers I took was cold. We later found out that there was a problem with the hot water and that they fixed it. The location was great for shopping and walking along the main street in Cowbridge.

Poor WiFi
Lovely hotel and the town’s high street was a great find. I stayed for business and the hotels Wi-Fi was awful, meaning I couldn’t do the work I’d planned to and the mobile reception in the town was equally bad. So while the location was lovely it was a very frustrating overnight stay!!

Stayed in the cottage. Beds were atrocious. Springs could be felt right through the mattress. Shocking really. Very pleasant otherwise, but the shoddy beds ruined the experience. I’m not a complainer, but this was unacceptable.

We had a lovely couple of nights at the Bear Hotel. Room was well appointed and spotlessly clean. Only very slight negative on room, was that on our first night, we could only get luke-warm water from the shower. Ate in the restaurant and meal was good quality overall. Service in restaurant was a little slow and lacking some attention to detail but pleasant all the same. Will happily return to stay here again, and plan to do so.
