With its views of Titterstone Clee (one of Houseman’s “blue remembered hills”) Clod Hall stands in beautiful English countryside. A small, well-kept house on its own, warm comfortable and tranquil. Two guest bedrooms can accommodate three people with a well equipped bathroom that can be shared by family or friends of guests only. Note: if only one room is booked we do not let the other room so you would never share the bathroom with a stranger. Children of any age are welcome. The large bedroom can accommodate babies with their parents and older children can use the single bedroom. Guests are invited to choose their breakfast between 06.00 and 11.00 am so if it’s a lie-in you are looking for, look no further. Special diets can be requested at time of booking. I cook a traditional breakfast using local produce, and some home-grown fruit and vegetables, home-made marmalade and special Clod Hall chutney. For other meals there are public houses in Cleobury Mortimer and Tenbury Wells which serve excellent food, just four miles away. Given notice, I can provide picnic lunches at a reasonable price. Clod Hall stands on a good road which connects the small towns of Tenbury Wells on the River Teme and Cleobury Mortimer “Gateway to Shropshire” at the approach to the Clee Hills. Ludlow, a beautiful mediaeval town, is a 20 minute drive away. Further afield lies the cathedral city of Worcester on the River Severn. There are good shops, the Shambles for unusual bargains and Edward Elgar’s birthplace in the pretty country outside. Within striking distance are the Malvern Hills and the Long Mynd off the A49, good hill walking country. If you are a fisherman, the Severn at Bewdley and the Teme running through Ludlow and Tenbury Wells are perfect for angling. Artists will love the landscape here. Horse owners can ride on the Clee Hills and I have two loose boxes available. Recently, a guest when asked to recommend this place said “Certainly not!, I want to keep Clod Hall my secret”.
