We had been to this restaurant on several occasions before and been very impressed indeed. But this latest time was completely different. The food was second rate generally, over ambitious and pretentious, and in some cases inedible, the service was poor and the atmosphere depressing. I can only assume that it has recently changed hands. My husband thought it was... More

We went to the Clive for an anniversary break. The room was large and comfortable and the bathroom was very well appointed. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a sitting area and the bed was huge. I had booked to eat in the restaurant on each of the 3 nights of our stay. Now the bad stuff. The... More

The Clive is, overall, an excellent place. Although it is primarily a restaurant, the rooms are of the very best quality. We stayed in one of the outside blocks on the first floor. We had a very big room, beautifully furnished and expensively fitted out, with a modern large and well equipped bathroom. Thick carpets, old oak beams and a... More

Went for the 2 for 3 night offer and had a nice room in converted stable block, which was as other reviewers have said too hot, still!!! The breakfast were nice but the coffee was overbearing so stuck to tea. Entrance is confusing as you are faced by the toilets as soon as you go in or a bar facade... More

We went off to The Clive last night for the last meal out for our holiday. We were delighted with all the courses and really enjoyed all of our dishes. Some of us started with the soup, which was delicious, absolutely fabulous. My son and husband has the mousse which they really enjoyed. We tried a variety of main courses... More

Loved our room - in a converated stable block. huge modern bathroom and huge bed. Very tasteful. Food was really good. The road is busy and therefore rather noisy which is why I would not want to stay for a week but def recommend for a night or tow. This place encompasses the Ludlow food centre which is really lovely... More

Arrived at The Clive after a very long day, it was booked for me so I had no idea what to expect but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I was shown to my room which was in a converted stable block, it was large and tastefully decorated. Dumped my bags and headed for the bar, the staff... More

we stayed last year and returned to visit the races- the racecourse is a short walk away from the hotel so a great spot. This time we stayed in the downstairs rooms, situated around a courtyard and these rooms are spacious and very well-eqipped.There were 3 couples and we also ate in the restaurant and had a very good meal....

Professional staff, excellent food and produce with clean rooms. Overall very good hotel and handy turnoff on the A49. Rooms in the courtyard slightly motel in style and bed in 103 in dire need of replacing. Our double room comprised of twin beds pushed together except one bed was a few inches higher than the other. Poor mattresses like something... More
