Built over 300 years ago, this coaching inn has been beautifully restored to embrace and exhibit its heritage and period features. The distinctive image of the reception area is reinforced by the presence of the old stone archway under which the horses once galloped into the courtyard and by the large bell formerly used to summon the inn-keeper.

Strongly influenced by William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, the interior of the Bear of Rodborough Hotel makes lavish use of rich fabrics and antique furniture. The imposing oak staircase, with its unusual bell pull chandelier, leads to the bedrooms, each distinctively and comfortably furnished.

The adjoining Woodchester House provides more modern accommodation, tastefully decorated to a high standard and incorporating workspaces and modem points.
