Charlton Arms Hotel, Ludlow

A very smart hotel right on the river at the lower end of Ludlow. Several adjoining rooms, most with great views of the river below and the incumbant wildlife. Very friendly and chatty staff and a good selection of 3 local ales. We tried two of them and they were very well kept. We were staying at The Cliffe at Dinham, which was very good, but I think next time we'd stay here.

A good pub, restaurant, guest house situated down a hill, through an archway and next to a river. Inside is a mainly open plan pub and a comfortable place to enjoy a drink. Outside seating at the front and also overlooking the river. 5 handpulls dispensed Wye Valley and Ludlow beers. Friendly and welcoming. I liked it.
