The Bear Shortlist*
Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan
Good Hotel Guide Review
Long a popular stop-over, this well-located hotel has for centuries been the hub of a fashionable, cobbled market town surrounded by cow-flecked hillsides in the Vale of Glamorgan. Locals and tourists rub shoulders, attracted by its locally brewed drinks, modern pub dishes and rejuvenating bedrooms. Individually designed, some are compact, others sprawling. Local produce (‘grown from Welsh soil and reared on Welsh grass’) supplies the well-considered menus, served in the bar, lounge, courtyard or stylish Cellars dining room (vegetarians and vegans are well catered for with such dishes as Glamorgan leek, carrot and Cheddar hash, leek and Y-Fenni sauce). Mornings start with a buffet breakfast. A Town & Country Collective hotel.
