Very smart inn with tasteful decor and large rooms and dinning areas. Food is excellent both at dinner and breakfast with plenty of choices. They also have one of the largest choices of drinks on offer including cocktails.Room was large with separate relax area with sofa bed and coffee table.The bed was large and comfortable there was plenty of sockets and lights and a good dressing table with well positioned mirror and hair dryer.WIFi was easy to access and worked efficiently. Staff were friendly helpful and welcoming. Quite country location with large car park and no road noise.This we noticed is a very dog friendly inn even offering a special doggy menu.

Floor creaking on way to bathroom at night. Dinning area a bit noisy on first night.But that is purely being picky was a lovey stay

Food was extremely good, staff friendly and professional in whatever duties they were performing. The room was excellent and bathroom looked brand new everywhere was very clean, it was a pleasure to stay there and a good choice of items for breakfast !

The room was quite hot during the night, due to the towel rail being constantly on with no obvious off switch. During breakfast I overheard a couple of other guests mention the same thing. The only other thing I feel I need to mention is that the middle step of the three stairs opposite room 5 doesn’t have a black edging strip unlike the other two and for someone with poor eyesight (like me) it meant they were difficult to negotiate, this is an observation not a complaint.

Big comfy room massive bathroom and shower. Stunning food, the fish special could have been served in any high end restaurant, and decent beers on draught Proper breakfast Smiley staff ;)

Dogs. Its clearly a dog friendly place however maybe have an area where dog families eat. A dog jumped up at our breakfast table and the owners just laughed and thought it was ok, its not. Whilst it wouldn't be a reason for not returning it does annoy me a tad and why its a 9 not 10..

We visited as a group of 6, we booked the stay and dine package. What a fantastic place, easy to find, plenty of parking and easy check in. Our room (9) was stunning, with views, 4 poster bed, bathroom with bath and separate shower and 2 washes. We drank and ate, food was lovely, the team looked after us all night, keeping us watered with a good drinks menu including cocktails. Breakfast was very good too. The team split the bill across the 3 couples without any issues (some places make this more complicated than what it is). Everything to the highest standard. We will definitely return and would highly recommend.

Genuinely there is nothing that we didn’t enjoy.

The Bear's Paw is a beautifully presented eatery and a fabulous place to stay. We stayed to break up our journey home from the Lake District and didn't disappoint. Food was excellent, both at lunchtime and dinner with a tempting menu and quality ingredients. Our room, although on the top floor was spacious, clean and the bathroom luxuriously appointed with quality fittings. This will now be our default stop over when travelling North to South.

What didn't we like? We only could stat one night!

Warm and polite greetings from staff, which continued from beginning to end of stay. You were made to feel welcome. The food was excellent, and the choice was extraordinary for someone who has several allergies. Staff were A+, and nothing was too much trouble. We would have no problem recommending the Bear's Paw to family and friends. We also look forward to making a return visit in the future.

There is nothing to be noted that we didn't like.

The hygiene and cleanliness of this hotel is fantastic. Every day I witnessed the communal areas being washed/mopped/hoovered. The staff were very helpful, polite and respectful to us and especially our dog. Beautiful inside and out, as well as the location. Nice sized rooms, good showers and room accessories.

I feel the breakfast requires improvement. Full English Breakfast for example, only one sausage, half a slice of black pudding etc. Its a bit bizarre sitting with it knowing someone on another table has the other half of your black pudding. Average quality. One elderly member of staff that I only ever seen at breakfast time - never smiled, didn’t seem enthusiastic and gave off the vibe that she didn’t want to be there or enjoyed serving people. Made as much noise as she could when clearing tables too. Definitely wouldn’t prevent me coming back however, the rest of the experience was fantastic.

The property is beautiful, very well laid out for a relaxing drink or meal. The room exceeded expectation, it was very big, lovely comfortable bed, great views from the windows. There was plenty of storage, comfortable seating and even a chaise lounge! Coffee, various teas and hot chocolate for you to make yourself and a few nice biscuits. The bathroom had a nice big bath, separate shower, double sinks and even a TV! (we couldn’t get the tv to work but I suspect user error) We ate in the dining area at night and the food was excellent and well priced. The staff were professional, friendly and knowledgeable, and keep the place very neat and clean. We’re already planning a return trip.

Nothing to dislike.

The Bear's Paw is in a charming village location within easy reach of the M6 and the nearby towns of Nantwich, Crewe, Middlewich and Sandbatch. Its modest-sized, traditional-style frontage belies its spacious interior, modern facilities and comfortable, well-equipped rooms and the standard of service was everything we could wish for without being intrusive in any way. The breakfast choice was excellent and we found plenty to savour on the main menu which as it was available from mid-day until 9.30pm, gave us plenty of opportunity to schedule our meals to fit in with the various activities we needed to complete while we were in the area.

We could not stay long enough on any of our visits

Lovely room. Very good dinner menu, delicious Steak and Ale Pie, good breakfast.

Shame about dogs in restaurant, before you complain I am a dog lover but don't approve of them in dining areas, when serving staff made a fuss of dogs, never saw them go to wash hands afterwards. Would also have preferred if some rooms were designated dog free. Timing at breakfast was a little fast, cooked breakfast arrived when only just started to eat cereal, it was good but why only half a slice of Black pudding.
