The bear Hotel catered to what we wanted for our wedding when other wedding venues would not. All the staff were extremely friendly and informative which made the process very easy in the planning stage. On the day of the wedding the staff could not do enough for us and our guest. I would recommend this venue to any bride.

Could not have picked a better venue

Absolueley the best day of my life ever. My wedding day yesterday was amazing. We could not have picked a better venue. The staff were amazing and couldnt do enough for us the food was top class. From the minute we chose the hotel we were always greeted with a warm welcome. The wedding planners allowed us to pick exactly what we wanted and they were never pushy. Thank you so much for our perfect day. Highly recommend xxx

Cant recommend the bear hotel enough

Can't recommend the bear hotel enough from start to finish they have been outstanding. Months, weeks and days before the wedding they would answer any questions and solve any problem I had very promptly. The day of wedding I was getting ready in the cottage which was fabulous from the gorgeous clean rooms to the eggs, bacon, juice and much more in the fridge. They rang up in the morning asking if we needed any glasses or any help and let us know they were they if needed. They... came and collected me and helped with all my bags and bridesmaids bags to take me to my bridal room. Then collected me to go down to ceremony. Both rooms reception and ceremony were outstanding. The staff I can't compliment enough so patient qnd warming and the food was amazing. Our wedding guest wouldnt stop saying how beautiful the bear is and how wonderful the food was. Thank you so very much for making our day the most wonderful day of our lives so far.
