The Clive Arms Shortlist*
Ludlow, Shropshire
Good Hotel Guide Review
Just outside Ludlow, a red brick 18th-century inn on the Earl of Plymouth’s Oakly Park estate has been recently remodelled to include an open-plan ‘field-to-fork’ restaurant, a cosy snug, spaces for drinking and socialising. High-beamed rooms are furnished by local designers; books, paintings, botanical prints come from the Earl’s collection. Most of the contemporary bedrooms (some suitable for a family) are in a converted building. At the back, a new garden and courtyard area provides all-year alfresco dining. Dana Tase is the new general manager. Within walking distance, the Ludlow Farm shop stocks meat and game from the estate (much of it appears on the restaurant’s seasonal menus), along with artisanal products from Shropshire and neighbouring regions.
