Celtic Golf Vacations - Bear Hotel, Cowbridge, South Wales.

The Bear has origins as far back as the 12th Century.

Probably the best known as being the inn where they changed the horses on the mail run from Cardiff to Swansea. During the 17th Century Napoleon's troops were held in the ‘Bear Pit' en route to London!!

Nowadays, the hotel is famed for it's fine home cooked food, friendly atmosphere and good ale. The hotel is on the main high street of the beautiful town of Cowbridge. This small quaint market town boasts some fabulous shops, lingering walks around the Roman wall and some of the most beautiful town houses.

Testimonials.

The Bear in Cowbridge was the ideal place for us to have a few drinks after our rounds of golf, it was actually quite lively on the Friday and Saturday.

Cottrell Park was the ideal starting point for us, not too difficult but well worth playing. The National at the Vale was exactly how you described it to me - think about how you play your tee shots. A great way to finish our tour.

Thanks very much Mark….. the trip opened our eyes to a lot more and for that we will return one day.
