The Bear Hotel

Great little hotel..Stayed there for a wedding party. Rooms are clean and tidy.

We had a lovely 3 night stay. Our room was a wow to look at but not overly practical. The bathroom could do with a shelf to put our toiletries on. (instead we had to use the top of the loo) A light fitting above the large mirror was present but we couldn't see how it worked. If at all. A good powerful hairdryer, but the plug socket was too far away to sit at the dressing table. The room was clean, but attention to details were a little lacking. Thick dust on the bathroom extractor, dust on plug socket tops etc. The shower screen was clean but build up around the hinges. The four poster bed was beautiful to look at, but we found it a little uncomfortable. (personal taste). It was also quite noisy when turning during the night. Now I'm not suggesting that my review should put off anyone staying here, we would come back in a heartbeat! It's to draw attention for the management to address. The staff were absolutely amazing, so friendly and attentive. I even received a birthday card . The food was top notch. Overall the whole place had a relaxing vibe. It kind of gave you a hug. Thank you team Bear, we hope to be back soon.

Great central location with great beer and pies.

Extremely disappointed. Unable to stay the night due to extreme noise from a ‘disco’ under our suite until midnight. Would advise against staying at this venue as the rooms are seemingly above a club.

Room was comfortable . Food was ok but hotel busy with other functions on so felt odd eating alone. Car park a bit tricky to find - but the instructions on hotel website are very clear and better than Sat Nav. Didn’t fancy walking to another establishment so skipped breakfast ( but that was my choice due to time pressures)

This hotel never disappoints!

Very friendly and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere and very helpful and courteous staff.

Festive break

We went to celebrate our Golden Wedding and visit friends. The hotel was friendly with good food and fitted the bill for our requirements. Thank you The Bear.

What a lovely place. The original features are superb and the staff could not make you feel more welcome.

Great room, staff, excellent breakfast across road.

Lovely old inn oozing character. Good bar area but poor breakfast.

Room very small and no mirror by any sockets so couldn’t do make up or hair. Husband had to go and buy a mirror for me to use. We were attending my stepson wedding.

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.

Comfortable, friendly stay

Lovely hotel , clean, staff friendly and made you welcome, bed comfy ,clean room , would stay again

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.

Loved our stay in this hotel - lovely staff, the room was decorated really nicely and we had an amazing sleep - the bed was soooo comfy!

We had a lovely weekend staying at the Bear in Cowbridge. The location is wonderful. The staff are very friendly and helpful and breakfast was nice. We will be staying again this year.

A very friendly and comfortable hotel.
