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

The award comes within weeks of them also receiving two food and farming accolades: Taste of the West when the restaurant was awarded gold, followed by Taste of Gloucestershire Food and Farming Awards shortlisting it for best eating out establishment. This recognises their commitment to using the best local produce and serving the highest-quality food and drink.

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 hotel inspector has combed the length and breadth of the country in search of the most special places to stay. The Sawday’s British Hotel Awards honour fifteen favourites across five categories: hotels of the year, fav

ourite newcomers, old favourites, nicely priced and fabulous food. 

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

Editor of the guide, Tom Bell added: “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.”
