Very friendly staff and well maintained hotel, the room was clean but a bit noisy. Room 4 was a bit noisy as the kitchen was below and we had to have the windows open, we were only staying the one night so didn’t complain. We had eat in the restaurant on Monday evening and had a very pleasant time good food and a drink outside on the patio.

Hotel is in great location. Room was fine, clean and functional. Pillows were awful though, really thin and flimsy, had to use throw cushions behind them. Breakfast was average. I last stayed here about 8 years ago and remember breakfast being standout but this was not the same high standard. Car park / steps to hotel were frozen over from the moment I arrived due to wintry weather but it took about 24 hrs for them to put any grit down (during which time it snowed again and froze over again so was particularly slippery) - even when they did grit it was in odd places so trying to get to your car was very dicey!

Lovely hotel. 15 minute walk from centre of Ludlow, but be warned you have to go up a fairly steep hill to get there. Also the roads are very dark in the evening, but they’re quiet and safe so you only need to make sure you have a torch.

Room very clean and bed comfortable. Views from windows were lovely. Breakfast really good. Only issue in the hotel was water pressure in the en suite was very low in the morning, probably when others were using their showers etc. while washing my hair the water dwindled to absolutely nothing, which wasn’t exactly convenient! Staff said they’ve never been told this before (we were in room 5) and checked the water pressure, even asking their plumber to look at it. All said it was fine, presumably when no one else was using their bathrooms. Well, I’m sorry but it wasn’t fine and it happened on 2 of the days we were in the room. Fortunately there was an alternative room, which they offered to us and we moved into. No problems in that room.

Otherwise a great stay.

We booked very last minute for the food festival, it was priced very favourably considering it was a peak time. We thought the property was value for money, our room was as described, bit small but adequate. It had everything we needed inc. tea and coffee making facilities and lovely biscuits. Shower was good with touketries supplied. We had a problem with our toilet flush but this was sorted whilst we were out for the today so mo inconvenience to us. The building is old but fairly well maintained. Seating in the bar area is a little sparse which put us offnhavijg drinks as a group before we left to go out for dinner. I think this is by design as the property is described as a restaurant with rooms, however, personally I think a trick is being missed here as it could attract more people to remain in and dine. Overall a pleasant stay and we would return

We have stayed twice now at The Cliffe in order to break long journeys down south. The public areas are nice and the bedrooms and huge beds are fine, but the bathrooms in our rooms we’ve been in were small and fairly old. We were surprised that the last orders for dinner were at 7.45 but we got fed! It’s quite a long inclined walk up into the town itself but the quiet location and castle view are worth it.

Two night stay

Our room was on the second floor, no lift but no problem for us. We had a standard room which was fine. En-suite was very small but everything worked alright. Had a meal in the restaurant on our first night, just one other person dining so was a bit soulless. Small menu but enough variety for us. Breakfast in the Conservatory was very good. The walk into Ludlow takes about 15 minutes but it’s quite a steep uphill climb after you’ve crossed over the river.

Our only criticism was that our room was directly above the exhaust fans from the kitchen; even though they weren't too noisy and did stop when the kitchen closed, there was quite a heavy food smell in our room when we had the windows open. Other than that, it was great and we will be back - in a different room!

Time to move on

Stayed at this hotel a few years ago. Then it was excellent. We had a room in the attic which had been refurnished and very nice. This time we had a room that reminded me of a Blackpool boarding house. Shower old and difficult to work with wet hands. A slight slope between the bedroom and en-suite was a definate trip hazard. Carpets showing their age. Room very small. Terrible. Needs some TLC. Others in our party had similar opinions regarding their rooms (we did see their rooms and had to agree) The food was still excellent but the portion size was much reduced than the last time we ate at the restaurant.The bar closed at 10.00 (on Sundays). The experience is not to be repeated.
