The MacDonald Bear Hotel is a special place indeed, so old (yet extremely modern) that the uneven floors make you think you've been drinking even when you haven't! We loved it and would return. Thank you.

Lovely festive stay - characterful and comfy
Stayed here to visit Blenheim Palace's Christmas events. The hotel was much more than just a place to stay - it was beautifully decorated for Christmas, characterful and comfortable. We enjoyed spending time chatting in the bar - roaring fire, comfy chairs etc - and the food was lovely. Very easy flat walk to Blenheim - we will visit again to do more of the Cotswolds.
