The Bear Hotel

I booked The Bear Hotel without viewing any other venue. As soon as I sat down in my initial appointment I knew I didn't need to go anywhere else.The staff were all amazing, during the lead up and on the day - Amy in particular was so helpful. We had to postpone 3 times due to Covid; Amy was so helpful and supportive, making the whole process so easy.The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, the attention to detail (in all aspects) was perfect.

We had such a perfect day, couldn't fault any part of it! The staff were amazing from planning through to the day itself, our guests loved it and so did we. The accommodation was great and included a lovely breakfast. Food and drink for the wedding was plentiful and tasted amazing. We have no complaints at all!

I don’t know where to start because the whole weekend was just absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for anything more. All the staff at The Bear were so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and their customer service was second to none. The venue looked stunning, even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I honestly would recommend The Bear to anyone for their wedding. Excellent value for money too!! I look back at the day with so many happy memories and that’s with thanks to e

We held our wedding at The Bear Hotel in September 2022 and it was best decision we've ever made. Everything went without a hitch on the day and we cannot recommend The Bear enough as a wedding venue. Our ceremony was held in The Georgian Ballroom followed by a reception / evening party for 84 in The St Quentins Suite. Both rooms are ideal for a wedding and tastefully decorated. The food was perfect and the hospitality & service delivered by the team at The Bear was excellent.

To our beautiful wedding venue – The Bear Hotel Where do I start in thanking you for the most utterly precious and PERFECT wedding day?. From the afternoon before the wedding stepping into the Bear I was instantly greeted with smiles, laughter, and the utmost level of care. The ladies helped with any small or big request without a question and instantly calmed me with nerves and wedding jitters. Our venue was dressed to perfection and our guests truly did have the wow factor with the beautiful layout of the Bear hotel. Now, being a foodie all I can say is WOW; the food was absolutely phenomenal. Beautifully presented and bursting with flavour, we were in our element and so were our guests. The weather was not an issue as the staff knew exactly what to do and took control of maintaining the perfect day, yep we had thunder, rain, sunshine and even lightning however it was not a problem, so if anyone is looking to book The bear hotel in the middle of a thunderstorm stay assured you will be well looked after, and the clouds most definitely will not get in the way. We first booked our wedding in 2018, I won’t go into detail we were all impacted by covid, however, with 3 postponements I would like to say the wedding coordinator Amy could not have been more helpful, she showed the highest level of compassion and communicated with us better than myself and my husband do with each other (ha-ha). Amy provided the highest levels of professionalism as well as humour, and attentiveness. We are so grateful to of had you through our journey and we wish you the best of luck in your future weddings, if you are lucky enough to have Amy then just know your wedding will be in the hands of a queen! To all of the amazing staff, you are all an absolute asset to the bear, and the team are stronger than the Welsh rugby squad. Thank you for absolutely everything, we will most definitely be celebrating our anniversary with you every year however If I had it my way, I would be there every weekend just to stand at reception and have a natter with you all. Jackie, I would like to highlight our guests spoke very highly of you and it did not go unnoticed how much effort you put into our beautiful day, my daughter is 8 years old and even she mentioned how wonderful and helpful you were. I am so utterly thankful for everyone’s help, support, and care throughout our entire journey. Helen, you were also a speedy rocket on the wedding day always busy and attending to everyone’s needs. The barmaids, room staff, cleaners, chefs, receptionists, and amazing wedding planners THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!! So, from my husband and I Thank you! we look forward to seeing you all again.

An absolute massive thank you for everything you did to make our day so perfect. You made the entire process effortless, even with the upset caused by Covid. From setting up the room to looking after Amelia, not to mention everything you did before we even got to the big day - you were incredible! Thank you so much
