A hotel in a beautiful village,in beautiful Shropshire countryside. It combines fantastic chef-cooked food with really well-presented hand-pulled beer. The staff were young,friendly, and enthusiastic. The Hodnet Hall gardens are well worth a visit. These are only open on a Sunday ; the Bear stop serving food at 4 pm on a Sunday. This is ( to be fair to them ) mentioned on their website,but it's easy to miss ! Breakfast is at 9 am if you want a cooked breakfast. This was a little disappointing, as was the early food finish on Sundays. The rooms are clean and functional. The en suite is quite small.
