My wife and I stayed three nights in room 33 at the Bear hotel in January 2022. We had a “good room” which was nicely decorated and spacious with a comfy double bed which came with eight cushions in addition to 4 pillows! Despite it being very cold outside the room was well heated all day. The bathroom was one of the best hotel bathrooms I have had in terms of space and arrangement. The shower over the bath was extremely powerful.There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room and these along with biscuits were replenished each day. Breakfast was included and was served from 7am. It was great with a good choice including a full Welsh breakfast and many other options. Service was excellent. (more…)
Delivering quality is paramount. We work closely with National and local breweries to provide a good selection of local and regional ales. In addition to our established ales, we have a guest bitter, which if makes the grade becomes a regular.
Craft ales, speciality spirits and fine wines
Cider from our local Hereford supplier together with favourites such as Guinness, IPA and our premium lagers offer a great choice.
Whatever your tipple, we have something for everyone. Our fully stocked bar offers a wide range of alcoholic and soft beverages, we even have over 30 varieties of whisky, and our partnership with Fine Wines of Cardiff provide an extensive wine list.
All served in our dog friendly historic bar with oak beams, wooden floors and open fires or weather permitting in our beautiful garden.
Sip and savour in our beautiful garden
Come and enjoy the great outdoors in our beautiful pub garden. Filled with colourful blooms in the warmer months, it’s the perfect location for savouring a pint of ale, gin and tonic, glass of fine wine or choose from our extensive drinks menu. Our lovely garden features an open lawn, comfortable seating and room to play.
