Tudor Farmhouse is an idyllic haven away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A friendly 13th-century stone-built hotel in the centre of the historic village of Clearwell, just 250 metres from Clearwell Castle, on the peaceful fringe of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. Clearwells history dates from Roman times and the village is dominated by the huge ramparts of a fine neo-Gothic castle. The owners take pride in the standard of comfort and hospitality at Tudor Farmhouse, whose features include massive oak beams and original panelling. There is a large, roughstone inglenook fireplace in the attractive lounge providing warmth and cheer in winter. The reception area looks onto the landscaped garden and 14 acres of fields. The bedrooms have been refurbished in traditional style. Those in the house are reached by a wide, oak spiral staircase. Others are in converted stone cider makers cottages and barns quietly situated in the garden and include 3 family suites. The candle-lit restaurant, awarded a two red Rosette, with its open stonework and exposed beams is the ideal setting in which to enjoy unhurried evening meals. Places of interest include The Forest of Dean, Wye Valley, Offas Dyke, Tintern Abbey, Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye, the spectacular Symonds Yat, Raglan and Chepstow Castles.
