When booking this hotel I would always use either the hotel website and its special offers or classicbritishhotels to get the best deals. We have stayed here before earlier in the year, I was a little concerned to find many of the previous staff had left in the past 6 months and thought this might affect the service but it... more

Normally you get what you pay for but in this case you get a bit more. I booked an over night DBB as a stop over en route to pick up our daughter. We had up-graded to a Superior room and were given a room on the first floor of the main building. It was small, but lovely, with a... more

My Mum and I recently spent a long weekend at the hotel and we had a really lovely time. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Natasha the receptionist. The bedroom which was in Woodchester House was a good size and extremely comfortable and even though the room looked out on to the car park and croquet lawn,... more

The Bear is beautiful - clean, charming, 'olde worlde' and a lovely atmosphere. We booked on the website for one night with dinner and a supplement for a Deluxe room.... more

We stayed at this hotel just for one night. From the moment we arrive until the moment we left the service was first class. The girl at reception was really helpful at all times. We first checked in into a room on the 3rd floor, it was really nice but a little bit noisy so we asked for another room.... more

I booked this hotel for my husbands 40th direct through their website. We really enjoyed our stay, only draw backs were how cold it was only had blow heaters in the bedroom, for some reason the radiators were not working and when we went to dinner in the Restaurant it was absolutely freezing. I suggest to drink a few glasses... more

The rooms are extremely well appointed and clean and the staff are tremendously helpful. The food is superb and the environment is charming. This hotel really does set the standard. The Super Sunday Saver is great... more
