Best part of this property has to be the staff. They were all amazing, nothing was too much trouble and very friendly. I wish more places had staff like these. Well worth the stay.

For a large Hotel I always feel snug.
Pros:

EV charging. This really would make a difference. Cowbridge Cow market charging is a joke. .

Pros:

The Bear is well located in the heart of Cowbridge with ample parking. The restuarant and bar were good (and very popular "conservatory" area at its heart (lunch and dinner were busy). Food options walkable nearby. Breakfast across road in Penny Farthings - very good.

The room was small but gave good night's sleep, being quiet. Some minor issues with room (blinds, lights, washbasin design), but overall this was a very good stay.

Have been before and will use again

Pros:

we had a lovely stay, staff were amazing, lovely lady at reception welcomed us and was very helpful with information. There was a leak in the restaurant so had food in the lounge which was fine and service was excellent. room was just a little bit of a disappointment, bit tired looking but spotlessly clean and presented.
