The Hodnet Estate has invested a tidy sum in restoring the fabric and fortunes of The Bear; now it's firmly established on Shropshire's culinary map and much loved by locals and guests. Beautifully decorated rooms are fabulous, all are very elegant and cosy with a country-house feel – expect warm colours, rich fabrics, eclectic artwork and antique furnishings.

I had a really lovely stay at the Bear Inn. The food here is fantastic, everything on the menu is seasonal and celebrates the best local ingredients – the goats cheese gnocchi I had for dinner on my first evening there was absolutely delicious. My bedroom was beautifully designed and very comfortable, it was the perfect place to return to after a day out walking in the Shropshire Hills or exploring Ironbridge. All the staff were so friendly and helpful too, thank you for welcoming me!
