Tudor Farmhouse in Clearwell has won the English Hotel of the Year award in the Sawday’s British Hotel awards.

The Sawday’s award comes within weeks of two 2015 food and farming accolades: Taste of the West recently awarded Gold to Tudor Farmhouse’s restaurant, shortly followed by Taste of Gloucestershire Food and Farming Awards shortlisting it for Best Eating Out Establishment, recognising their commitment to using the best local produce and serving the highest quality food and drink.

Tudor Farmhouse owner Colin Fell said: “We’re absolutely delighted to win this award, particularly because Sawday’s guides are so well respected; they always seek out the unique and because they are inspection-led, readers know the quality is the best too.”

The Sawday’s awards mark the launch of the 17th edition of their Special Places to Stay: British Hotels & Inns (out on October 1st) which has more than 300 handpicked places and 40 new additions.

Tom Bell, Special Places to Stay: British Hotels & Inns editor says: “There is more innovation and creativity in an excellent small hotel than you would ever find in a corporate chain. Our award winners showcase the very best of British hotels with chic interiors, charming staff and delicious food.”
