The Bear Hotel

"This is an excellent venue for a wedding. We visited in September 2023 for a friend's wedding. It is a lovely hotel in the centre of Cowbridge. The parking is very easy with a resident's car park at the rear of the property. "

"Lovely hotel and well situated. Fantastic venure for a wedding. Delicious food and great selection of drinks. Very helpful staff who helped to make the wedding a beautiful day for the family. It's just perfect. "

"All the staff couldnt do enough for me, nothing was too much trouble for anyone and they are so friendly. The venue was stunning. Every aspect of my day was smooth as silk and not one detail was missed. The food is STUNNING! All of our guests commented on ho delicious it was and a lot want to come back to visit the resturatne with their loved ones to try more of it. The bridal suite was gorgeious! Breakfast was beautiful and everything was so fresh. They honestly made my wedding day the best it could possibly be and all with a smile and genuine passion for what they do. Well done everyone!"

"We stayed at the hotel as we were attending a wedding at the hotel. The hotel is such a lovely venue for a wedding and the cubr was lovely to have the drinks reception. The staff are amazing. The wedding meal was amazing and the rooms were great and very clean. Would highly recommend it for a hotel stay or wedding venue."

"Our daughter had her wedding at the bear on August the 10th, and what a day it was, a big thank you to all the team at the bear for making our daughter's day the very best. Amy the wedding coordinator and all the staff at the bear went out of their way to make sure she had a big day to remember, nothing was too much trouble for them, and everything ran smoothly without any hick-ups, so again thank you all for that. Most of us stayed the night at the bear and again everything was great. Most of us went over to the penny farthing cafe for breakfast which again was very good. "

"My daughter recently held her wedding reception at The Bear (drinks reception in the stylish Georgian Ballroom and wedding breakfast and evening function in the beautiful St Quentin's Suite and Courtyard. I cannot thank The Bear enough fo the wonderful time we all had. Amy and her Events team were superb. Their continued support was invaluable. The food (canapes, wedding breakfast and grazing station) was amazing-perfectly cooked and delicious. The kitchen staff and the lovely people who served our food could not have been more helpful. Accommodation was immaculate. As a wedding venue, I cannot recommend or praise The Bear highly enough. "

"Here for a wedding and the staff are all so friendly and helpful. Bit busy at breakfast but the staff got us some extra chairs so we could sit together. Can't fault it and even though the building is hundreds of years old it fairs better than many modern hotels."

"Great pub and venue. We were there for a family wedding. Staff and organisation faultless. Function room is a good size and multi purpose. It was rearranged for the requirements of the day. Bar prices not the cheapest but acceptable. Large car park at the rear. Pub itself still has it's old charm."

"Fabulous wedding thanks to Amy the coordinator and the whole team for a informally formal day in a beautiful setting"

"What an absolutely stunning location for a wedding, the cube is a lovely cocktail hour space and the main dining/dancing room with the outside patio is perfect."

"A few of us flew down for a Welsh wedding and made a long weekend of it in The Bear. This 14th century coaching house has cosy comfy rooms with four posters, friendly staff , great gastropub food and an excellent cellar. Will visit again."
