In the historic south-west corner of the Cotswolds, high above Stroud on the wilds of Rodborough Common, stands the handsome Bear of Rodborough Hotel. Originally built in the 17th century, this former coaching inn provided a much appreciated resting-place on the main coaching route from Gloucester to London. To this day it offers a warm welcome to all.

Set in 300 acres of National Trust land, the Bear provides a luxurious retreat where you can enjoy fine food and drink while relaxing in a homely and friendly atmosphere.

An inspired location for country breaks at any time of the year, the Bear is ideal as a centre for country walks, visits to historic sites, a trip to the races or as a business venue. The nearby towns and villages are famous for their wealth and variety of antique shops.

For weddings and special celebrations, the Bear provides an enchanting setting.
