The Bear Of Rodborough Hotel Full Description
With endless views over the surrounding Cotswold countryside and an abundance of charming quirks, The Bear of Rodborough Hotel boasts a setting to remember for your big day. We have a wonderful collection of rooms from which to host your wedding day at The Bear and 46 cosy bedrooms for your guests to stay the night. Combine all of this with great food, fizz and an enthusiastic team, and you’re sure to create the big day of your dreams. The Terrace Room is a light and open space, with room for up to 70 guests. Its neutral colour scheme allows you to take the reins when it comes to accessorising. As the name may suggest, the Terrace Room opens onto our garden terrace and marquee which will be reserved exclusively for your wedding party to enjoy reception drinks and canapes. The Library Restaurant is our largest space, with room for up to 90 guests. With its striking bookend wallpaper, abundance of great reads and stylish tartan carpet; wedding accessories can be kept to a minimum. With its sophisticated decor and beautiful arched windows, The Tower Room is a perfect space for smaller, intimate weddings. It is licensed for up to 26 people, but you can have much fewer if you prefer – we’re happy to provide witnesses. If you would like more information or a show-round, please speak to our dedicated wedding coordinator, Amanda, who will be more than happy to help you.

Perfection
Amanda and the whole team at The Bear are just incredible. From the moment we booked up until the wedding nothing was too much of an ask. The replies were always prompt and no question was ever left unanswered. Amanda and the whole team are so friendly, welcoming and attentive. The whole day ran smoothly without any issues. We had so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the hotel was, how amazing the food was and how lovely all the staff were. We honestly could not have booked a more perfect wedding venue. We will always be thankful and grateful to Amanda and the whole team for helping us achieve the most perfect wedding day.

Just perfect
Amanda and the team were amazing. From the moment we first met, all through the arrangements and to the wedding itself, nothing was too much trouble. We had loads of questions which were always answered quickly. We were always made to feel welcome and special. The day itself couldn’t have gone better. Amanda’s attention to detail is second to none and her team were just as good. Her calming influence was gratefully received the morning of the wedding 🤣 Thank you Amanda ☺️

WE STRUCK GOLD!
We couldn’t have chosen a better wedding venue than The Bear of Rodborough for our wedding on 1st December, 2023. The Bear is unique. The first thing that must strike any visitor to The Bear is its extraordinarily beautiful location! The views from the hotel, with its high position within a huge expanse of rural beauty, is just breathtaking! But The Bear does not rely on its geographical location alone to make it attractive. As one enters the hotel it is immediately apparent that the interior is full of character and charm with its many intriguing nooks and crannies. The bar is well-stocked and the rooms offer comfort, convenience and variety that make this a suitable venue for those guests with mobility issues. From the first time we met with Amanda and the team we knew we had struck gold. Nothing was too much trouble and our ideas and changes-of-mind were always received with flexibility and willingness to accommodate the many personal touches that we wished to incorporate into our small family wedding. We needed to accommodate 25 guests and the Terrace Room worked perfectly for our ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening entertainment. We also had use of the Garden Room, with its cosy, blazing log fire, and the Marquee, which, when warmed with the efficient and silent heaters, offered a sizeable and comfortable space for larger groups of guests to sit and talk. The food was outstanding and this vital aspect of our day offered yet another example where the restaurant manager and the chef were wonderfully accommodating. Our guests’ dietary needs were easily met and the service, appearance and, most importantly, taste of the food were superb. If all this wasn’t enough, just across the road is a renowned ice cream factory, where the local Winstones ice cream is made, sold and delicious! Who knows…this, too, might become a feature of your wedding at The Bear!

Brilliant from start to finish
We got married on 16/09/23 and it went perfectly, the staff were all great, food was absolutely perfect and all of our guests said how well looked after they felt. Amanda was also brilliant from start to finish, she replied to all of my questions very quickly right up until a few days before. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an intimate wedding in a beautiful & characteristic venue.

Thank you for making our day so perfect yesterday.
Hi Amanda, Thank you again for making our day so perfect yesterday. We are absolutely over the moon we chose you for our day. I have done a review with 5 stars all round because we wouldn't have changed a single thing. The whole team there are simply amazing and friendly. I have attached few photos for you. When i get the formal ones they may capture the venue better so i can send a few of those over too. Warmest regards Susie and Neil Williams
