    No issues, all very good.

    Our second stay at Clive Arms, requested high floor and walk in shower if possible and that was arranged, it was a lovely room, very spacious and quiet (Room Teme), nice toiletries, hairdryer and fan in the room. Ideal having the Ludlow Kitchen cafe and Ludlow Farm shop on site to visit. Great breakfast can be purchased in the Ludlow Kitchen which is on site. Very handy for visiting Ludlow and surrounding area. The Clive Arms restaurant wasn’t open Monday, Tuesday but we were kept informed of this as soon as we booked, great communication from the hotel and we ate in Ludlow so not a problem. Plenty of parking and easy to find.

    Nothing really other than would prefer to have breakfast within the accommodation rather than next door in cafe. However the cafe was good and did serve a good choice of breakfast.

    Stayed in deluxe King room which was excellent.Lovely bathroom. Accommodation was pristine throughout, very clean.

    Check in process was very slow. Shame the pub doesn't serve dinner on Mondays and Tuesdays, but they did give us a list of local places that served food and we managed to book in at one of those. Also, the Ludlow Kitchen doesn't open till 8pm for breakfast which is a little late when working.

    Very comfy, well-appointed room. Nice selection of beverages on the tea tray and lovely toiletries. Good to have the farm shop close by. Nice and quiet yet very convenient location.

    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.
