The Bear Hotel on the main high street in the quaint market town of Cowbridge is steeped in history with its origins as far back as the 12th Century. Nowadays, the hotel is famed for its fine home cooked food, friendly atmosphere and really good ale. Bedrooms are individually decorated, some with beamed ceilings or four poster beds and all are en-suite. An option is to combine the comfortable hotel surroundings with the privacy of its luxurious apartments and exclusive two-bedroom house.

Although these properties are fully equipped for a self-contained and self-sufficient stay, guests can use the hotel facilities and a complimentary breakfast is also served in the intimacy of the hotel restaurant, known as The Bear Pit with its original stone vaulted ceiling.
