The Bear's Paw

🌟 Fantasy Review: The Bear’s Paw – A Hidden Gem of Enchanted Comfort 🌟 If you ever find yourself wandering through the misty hills in search of a place where warmth, wonder, and culinary delight come together in perfect harmony—look no further than The Bear’s Paw. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we’d stepped into a storybook inn where nothing is too much trouble and every smile is genuine. The staff here are not just employees—they’re hosts of the highest order. Friendly, knowledgeable, and sincerely welcoming, they seem to possess an almost magical ability to anticipate your needs before you’ve even voiced them. The hospitality was, quite simply, first class. Our room was a true sanctuary: spacious, immaculate, and invitingly comfortable. After a long day’s journey, sinking into the bed felt like floating on clouds woven by woodland spirits. Every detail, from the crisp linens to the subtle lighting, had clearly been thought through with care. And the food… oh, the food! If the kitchen staff aren’t trained alchemists, I’d be shocked. Each dish was a revelation—rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and prepared with such heart it felt like every bite was a celebration. Whether it was a hearty breakfast to set you up for an adventure or a decadent evening feast by firelight, the meals were nothing short of spectacular. In all our travels, few places have captured our hearts quite like this one. The Bear’s Paw isn’t just a hotel and restaurant—it’s an experience. A haven. A reminder that excellence in hospitality still exists, and thrives. Without a doubt, the best place we’ve been in a long time. We’ll return as often as we can, and recommend it to anyone longing for a stay that feels both luxurious and soul-refreshing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (If we could give more stars, we would!)

Sunday lunch yesterday, worst yorkshire puddings we have ever had, beef great, pork tough, at least 8 other plates went back with yorkshire puddings, not cheap at this establishment, so easy making yorkshire puddings, come on guys. We won't eat here again. We will stick to The Dysart Arms Bunbury for our Sunday lunch Even mine bottom of photos way better with chilli con carne friday night We were invited back by the manager to try a new set of mains. Karen & I had fish & and chips. Mushy peas, garden peas, onion rings. The quality of the fish was excellent as we're everything else. Jamie, the server was fantastic, and the service was brilliant . The manager obviously takes his customer service/reviews seriously. Well done, great job Thank you for the re - invite. Andy & Karen

I’ve been itching to try the Sunday roast, as we booked late, we pre-ordered the roast (to avoid any risk of running out) which was great that they could accommodate this, and were glad we did as we were advised they had run out when we came to be seated! They are also very dog friendly which is also a bonus! The main negative is that we found the service was incredibly slow, our drinks sat on the side of the bar for nearly 20 minutes until we asked our server about them, the wine wasn’t poured and just placed on the table (the table next to us were served their wine and asked to taste it). We also had to wait nearly 25 for someone to take our dessert order too. The roast was lovely with the exception of the carrot and swede mash which tasted like it had soap in it(?!) the beef was really lovely, perfectly cooked, very tender and full of flavour. The gravy was really full of body and flavour, not too salty but a perfect match for the meal. The yorkshires were also incredible, however the potatoes did taste a bit dry and weren’t crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The desserts were lovely, the sticky toffee trifle was definitely an interesting idea and not something I’ve ever had before. I did flag the service issues to the manager who was incredibly helpful and understanding, which definitely made the evening better for us. I would definitely like to go back and give the roast another try!
