AA Rosette-awarded 5-star country inn in the Cheshire countryside
Dining & Bar
The Bear's Paw holds an AA Rosette for its dining, with menus that change daily to reflect locally sourced seasonal produce. The bar offers six real ales from local microbreweries, along with a curated selection of wines from around the world. Guests can sit in the restaurant by two real open fireplaces, surrounded by reclaimed wooden panelling and French antique oak floors.
Dog-Friendly Policies
The hotel allows dogs in guest rooms and dining areas, making it a countryside stay where pets are welcome throughout. Special pet amenities are provided as part of the dog-friendly policy, with no extra restrictions on where dogs can accompany owners. This approach has earned the Bear's Paw recognition as a leading dog-friendly accommodation destination.
Rooms & Suites
Each of the 17 boutique-style rooms was refurbished during a £2.5 million renovation that preserved the inn's 19th-century character. Rooms include flat-screen TVs, media hubs, and en-suite bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and fluffy towels. Superior and executive room categories offer additional space, with some featuring four-poster beds and separate bath and shower areas.
Location & Surroundings
The Bear's Paw sits in the village of Warmingham, with the historic market towns of Sandbach and Middlewich within a short drive. The Trent and Mersey Canal and Cheshire countryside walking trails are directly accessible from the hotel grounds. The M6 motorway is less than 10 minutes away, providing quick connections to Crewe and wider northwest England.
