Home from Home
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.

Lovely room, great staff, average breakfast
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.

Wish we could have stayed longer- our bed was wonderful.
(But everywhere we went, the toilets seats were what the US std was probably in the past. Elongated seats are
definitely more sanitary as not all public places included paper shields.) Loved the size of the shower. Would have loved to have dinner there but we were meeting up with hubby's sons and their families for dinner at a carvery.

Beautiful location and Buildings, Excellent Staff!
Staying at the Bear of Rodborough is always a great experience, every member of staff is attentive to your needs and the service they provide is second to none. The rooms are always incredibly clean and the attention to details is excellent.
The food provided is always top notch and the bar is always a pleasant experience with both friendly patrons and staff.
Having the ability to take our 4 legged friends on our journeys has always made us a lot happier and I’m sure our pooch would give a woof of happiness knowing that she is looked after, even more so knowing she is going to get some free sausages!
Overall I will always choose to use the Bear if I am nearby as I have had nothing but excellence. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone going to the Cotswolds/Stroud if they want a beautiful place to stay.
Thanks to all at the Bear of Rodborough you guys are awesome :)

ok but things to be careful of
Our stay was ok. what spoiled it for us was the room.I was up 3 floors of stairs, no lift. we were it the roof space. we only stayed 1night so managed, hotel staff did help with suitcase.If you have any mobility issues please check with hotel first. . Food was very good. Wine prices quite higher than other places we stayed at, check the bar prices before you order, I didnt and paid a very high price for 2 glasses of english rose.

Hotel looks beautiful, however the shower in my room had very little water pressure. So washing was a slow task.
Food was great apart from dessert which took an age to come out. When it arrived it was cold and rock hard.
The beer is good but again service was rather slow waiting for staff to show up to serve.

The room, toilet and bath facilities were clean to a very good standard and the decor was tasteful and restful. We had a lovely view over the Nailsworth Valley. We were well-pleased with the accommodation which suited our needs admirably. The evening meal in the restaurant was nicely presented and was delicious and enjoyable.
