    Everything about the Clive Arms was perfect from the moment we arrived until we left. The accommodation was 1st class as was the food in the pub and the surrounding facilities. The staff were very helpful and friendly too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back !!!

    I booked The Clive as I'd heard good things about its restaurant. Unfortunately the restaurant does not open on a Sunday evening. However I was contacted shortly after booking and offered the option of a cold platter of local produce. I didn't take the offer up but appreciated the thoughtfulness.

    My room in the courtyard was airy, with a high ceiling and exposed beams, well decorated, clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable and there was a comfy sofa and coffee table as well as ample clothes storage and a fridge. Little touches such as complimentary bottled water, filter coffee, leaf tea, and botanical toiletries made it special. The advance information made it clear that breakfast wasn't included but offered in a neighbouring establishment across the courtyard; the choice was wide and cooked to order.

    My bedroom was very nice but too hot and humid.

    Wonderful location with a very nice restaurant serving great food and a wonderful bar serving local beers and Whisky. The sister eatery next door is the Ludlow Kitchen which serves up a great breakfast and lunch. All the staff were really friendly and helpful.

    Breakfast was not included and in a separate building but did not open until 8:00am. This is too late for a business or leisure traveler.

    Our room on the ground floor was very spacious and we liked the vaulted beamed ceiling. Food in the restaurant was very good.

    Cafe breakfast - good but could have been even better with tweaks - e.g. margarine used on breakfast sandwiches one staff member not very friendly or engaging. Dinner in the restaurant very tasty well presented but tiny portions - not good value for money.

    The room was tastefully furnished, very spacious and comfortable with all the resources needed. Breakfast in the on site cafe was nice. Excellent facilities on site - lovely farm shop, cafe and takeaway and children's play area. Excellent staff in the hotel and restaurant. Overall a very good stay and would return.

    Nothing really although it’s 3 miles from Ludlow so you have to drive or use a taxi at night for evening restaurants if the Clive Arms restaurant isn’t open

    Large and comfortable room. Very good decor. Large and modern bathroom. Coffee, tea, water and biscuits in room all excellent quality. Restaurant wasn’t open so didn’t use but bar very good. Next door to farm shop and it’s excellent restaurant for breakfast.
