The White Bear

In the centre of Shipston on Stour, this pet-friendly inn is a jump-off for Cotswolds adventures. It’s minutes from Feldon Valley Golf Course and The Cotswolds Distillery, and within easy reach of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle, Oxford and Stow‑on‑the‑Wold. Ideal for countryside walks, local shoots and a bit of village charm.

Seven individually decorated en-suite rooms with TVs and city-facing windows — perfect for morning coffee and a quiet return after a busy day. The public spaces mix cosy and lively: a lounge bar with an open fire and a sports bar with two large screens showing Sky Sports and BT Sport. Private dining and a separate function room give the place personality, plus quirky extras like an Aunt Sally pitch.

Complimentary wireless internet and free on-site self-parking. Picnic area and barbecue grills for relaxed outdoor hangs. Two bars, a restaurant serving home-made food made from local produce, and pub games such as crib boards and dominos. Pets are welcome.

Function room with a separate entrance that can cater for up to 80 guests. Wireless internet keeps small meetings and events connected.

The on-site restaurant serves home-made dishes using local produce. The lounge pours cask ales, draught beers, lagers and wine, while the sports bar is made for match nights. Breakfast is available for a fee and the barbecue area offers casual outdoor meals.
