The Bear Of Rodborough Hotel, a Design Boutique Hotel Stroud, United Kingdom
"Originally built as an ale house in the 17th century, Bear Of Rodborough is situated 600 feet above sea level, within hundreds of acres of National Trust Parkland, and with views over the town of Stroud. It offers an award-winning restaurant and 3 bars.
The Bear of Rodborough Hotel is ideal for country walks and it is a 10-minute drive to Stratford Park. The towns of Cirencester and Tetbury are a 20-minute drive away.
Located in the oldest part of the building, the Library Restaurant at the Bear has views over the common. Fine food made with local produce is served. Traditional dishes are also served in the Bear Bar and Common Room. Guests also receive a discount for the property's own wine warehouse.
The bedrooms at the Bear hotel are all unique and decorated in warm colours. They all have a bath and a shower and some of the rooms have views over the countryside or Woodchester valley." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
We attended a wedding here (did not stay overnight) and were really impressed. The venue and facilities are beautiful and very well kept. The food was excellent and the desserts just as good. The terrace and garden are wonderful, especially in summer — a perfect setting for an event.
It’s a bit far from town, but easily accessible by car or taxi, and the surrounding area has plenty of scenic hiking trails, making it a great spot to enjoy the countryside.

My husband and I have just returned from our 2nd visit to this hotel. We cannot fault it at all. Its a lovely old building with many lovely little cozy areas to sit if its not so nice outside. If it is nice outside then the outdoor area is fabulous. We had nothing but excellent service from every member of staff we spoke to. The food is very good with great portion sizes. Vegetarians are well catered for at breakfast. Maybe less so on the main menu but there are plenty of fish options. We had room number 1 which is a suite and the addition of a 'living' space was extremely useful for us. Whilst there we walked across the common into Stroud and along the canal to Stroud Brewery which we would highly recommend - great food, drinks and service.

I should make it clear that the review is for the restaurant facility rather than the hotel.||This is a Fullers owned restaurant. Chiswick.. my old stomping ground of west London.||So the beer is great but so was the food. I would only say that portion size is an issue. Fish and chips is top class. Good sized portion. I have had the Stone Bass (lovely but meagre portions) and the Basil Polenta (lots going on in flavour terms but not all of it should be on the same plate … albeit a small one). I would go for the fish and chips which were first class and a decent portion.||Young staff eager to please and very friendly.||Pizza available as well. Nice garden and outside dining when the weather is good. |.||Had to work around a wedding party even though we booked over a month in advance. Staff managed the mother of the bride who was on a mission to claim the entire estate as her own very well indeed!!

Lovely place, with friendly staff and great views. We were having lunch in the garden when about 10 uninvited wasps appeared and tried to share the food! So I called the waitress over, who quickly moved us inside without hesitation. - Thank you

Really lovely 3-night stay at the Bear. Room a comfortable size for two people with big walk in shower. Had a nice view over the common, greeted by the cows out the window each morning. Lots of good walks nearby and close to cute villages. Nice base for rambling about, even without a car

An excellent 3 day stay. Great employees at all levels that I encountered...... Enthusiastic, welcoming, attentive, hard-working. Excellent location with great views from some rooms and impressive vistas just a short walk away. Rooms were clean and decently furnished. Beer selection and food quality were moderately good. I'd definitely stay at the Bear again.

Stayed here on a Sunday night as was seeing a concert at forest live. The concert was a washout but the hotel saved the day. Lovely room, could log in to Netflix and watch the cows walking past our window with a nice cuppa.
Breakfast was faultless, as was the service. Best black pudding I've ever had

My husband and I had a long weekend at The Bear and Rodborough Hotel and had a fantastic time. The staff were very attentive and we ate twice in the hotel. The food was excellent. Our waitress Carin was the best. Nothing was too much trouble and she was very funny, down to earth and was very helpful with ideas of places to visit. Carin made our dining experience even more enjoyable.|Would recommend a visit to this hotel for sure.
