    Fantastic venue for a wedding

    Amanda the wedding manager did a fantastic job for our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble, very reliable, organised, responsive to our emails and enquiries. Our big day was just perfect. The whole team on the day was amazing and couldn’t thank you enough. I highly recommend this venue to engaged couples who want to find a venue that has beautiful scenery, cracking food and brilliant service. Thanks so much.

    Our Wedding

    We cannot thank Amanda and the entire team enough for everything — from the lead‑up to the wedding right through to the day itself. We truly could not have wished for a better venue, more welcoming hosts, or a more perfect celebration.
    We received so many compliments on the food, the setting, and the wonderful staff, and our stay was absolutely fantastic. We are incredibly grateful to everyone for making our wedding on December 12th 2025, so special. Thank you.
    Mr and Mrs Morgan (Lewis and Lyn)

    The most perfect Christmas and winter wedding venue ❤️

    We got married at The Bear of Rodborough on 20th December and had the most incredible day. The venue is stunning, whatever time of year. With breathtaking views and luxurious interior. The food is in incredible and really made the day just perfect. We had guidance throughout both before and during the day from the lovely wedding coordinator Amanda which was amazing. Our guests had the very best time knowing they could relax and enjoy every part of the event having booked one of the lovely rooms there too.

    We would recommend to anyone looking for Cotswold charm and scenery, amazing food with a friendly feel the Bear is the perfect place. I would choose it again and again.

    #theladkinswedding2025

    Our day was just perfect. A lot of hard work and planning went into making our day the best day we could have ever imagined.
    Amanda and her team were just amazing and made everything run smoothly. They were all so kind and welcoming and made sure everything was as we asked.
    I wish we could do it all again!

    September Wedding

    We had the most wonderful experience celebrating our wedding at The Bear of Rodborough! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. The food was exceptional – every guest commented on how delicious it was. Amanda, the coordinator, was incredibly professional, attentive, and helpful, making the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. Thanks to her and the amazing team, our wedding day truly exceeded all our expectations. We couldn’t recommend The Bear of Rodborough more!

    Perfect venue

    We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Bear. They were very relaxed yet also responsive on the run up to the day - Amanda is brilliant and was there to answer all of the little questions we had. Our food was wonderful - their menu caters well for everyone and the vegan food in particular was excellent. Lots of our guests commented on how good it was on the day! All of the staff were lovely on the day - just quietly sorting everything out behind the scenes but there if you needed them. Highly recommend!

    A magical day

    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!

    Our perfect wedding day!

    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.

    Totally flawless

    Amanda at the bear was absolutely incredible. The whole day went smoothly without any hiccups. Nothing is too much for the team here. The food was delicious. Our day could not have been better
