Charlton Arms Hotel, Ludlow

A detached riverside hotel, restaurant and pub, with patio area. It is mainly in undressed stone, but has a coach entrance above which is in timber and yellow daub. It also has a nice oriel window, The interior is generally open plan and most is given over to dining, not surprising as it is ran by a restaurateur. There is a small bar area just off to the left on entry, isolated by a hearth feature from further dining tables. It is in coffee and wood, has bench seats and a wood floor, as well as lots of fish jugs! There is no TV and the music was soft and general. The service was friendly and the clientele consisted of a few locals in the bar area and diners everywhere else. Beer; usual taps with Hobson's Bitter, Ludlow Stairway, Gold and Wye Valley Butty Bach. The Gold was fine. A nice visit, just a little to restauranty for my taste.
