The Bear Of Rodborough Hotel

My husband and I had our reception at The Bear and we couldn’t recommend it enough! I, as the Bride, stayed the night before along with lots of family members of both sides and everyone was well accommodated and the staff were so lovely! For the price of The Bear, honestly it’s a steal. Our reception was so perfect, so smooth and I didn’t feel an ounce of worry or stress over anything as I knew that the staff and Amanda (wedding coordinator for the venue) had it in hand. The fact that there are different rooms for the arrival drinks, the wedding breakfast and then the party made the day so seamless. The food is/was DEVINE and the portions are more than generous. Again, I couldn’t recommend The Bear of Rodborough enough!!

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all for helping us to create our special day. We felt like no ask was too big and the effort you gave in helping us to create the vision we had for our day was not unnoticed. we felt so supported and helped in the lead up to the day as well as the day itself. Specific thanks to Amanda who helped us with all of the questions we had, and who was more than willing to accept all of our plans and make them reality.

Just wanted to email to say thank you so much to you and all the team for making Friday run so smoothly. Myself and Josh couldn’t be happier with how the day went and all our guests said what a lovely venue and fantastic food. Thanks for always answering any questions I had along the way and being such a great help. Thanks, Amy.

To the Manager I would like to express my appreciation to all your team at the Bear especially Amanda for the most wonderful day for Gary and Zara’s wedding Amanda was the most helpful at all times from the initial meeting through to the day itself. Also I would like to thank the waiting staff kitchen staff bar staff reception staff all gave excellent service . Once again thank you all we had the best day Nigel & Julie Clack

Amanda and all the staff at The Bear were absolutely fantastic on our wedding day, nothing was too much for them and Amanda guided us through the full day. Amanda was a great support from the very first email when we enquired about booking and answered all our questions along the way. The venue itself was perfect for what we wanted, we had our ceremony and reception there and went out to the common for lots of photos. The food was fantastic and that was the thing our guests commented on most, how lovely it was and what good portion sizes. A lot of our guests stayed the night after the wedding and were all happy with the accommodation and said what a good breakfast was available the following morning.

We cannot thank The Bear of Rodborough enough for the wonderful day they helped us to create. In the lead up, we felt fully supported and nothing felt like too much. We really appreciated all of the attention to detail on the day which made our day run smoothly. The food was delicious; we chose afternoon tea for our wedding breakfast, which was the perfect choice for a very hot summers day! We would not change a thing about our day and it just felt truly magical. If you're looking for a beautiful venue where everything can be taken care of for you, look no further!

Hi Amanda just like to say a big Thank You to you and your team for making Daniel and Angel's day as special as it was. You all did amazing. I will definitely promote The Bear to everyone I know who is getting married in the future. Thank you again. Xx Lesley

When planning our day we wanted it to be true to us relaxed and as informal as possible. We met with Amanda and we told her what we wanted and nothing was too much .The day came as did the sunshine and Amanda and the team delivered the perfect day . Everything was exactly as we asked and all our guests were accommodated where needed . Thank you so much Amanda .

Our wedding was in early 2024. The Bear as a choice for us was fairly clear after we had seen the other venues in our price range, which while lovely, they didn't all meet major requirement which the Bear did. The venue is a beautiful hotel with amazing views over the local area of the Cotswolds. We had private rooms for our wedding and our ceremony in the Library (The fine dining resturant when in normal use). We loved that all our family had the option to stay in the venue for the night after our wedding due to the amount of rooms. There were no complaints which reached us the morning after about the rooms from family, only positives. The staff at The Bear of Rodborough were absolutely amazing! All the people working on the day from junior to senior staff showed the upmost quality of support and service. The food for the wedding breakfast was also the best wedding food we have had before and no one was left hungry or unable to eat a course due to a dietry restriction (and we had a range of allergies!). Overall, the team had so much experience not only as a hotel but a wedding venue and it showed. We could not have asked for a better organised day.

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.
