Excellent for a countryside holiday - peaceful, with plenty of footpaths; possibly better in dry weather, but that is something not under our control. It's a shame that the Cliffe Arms is derelict, but there are plenty of eating places within a reasonably short drive. We would heartily recommend the Red Lion at Stifford's Bridge and the Wyche Inn, Malvern, for meals, and at Ledbury, the Muse Cafe for elevenses. For a taste of real France, Chez Pascal in Ledbury is brilliant and we all enjoyed the venison casserole, reasonably priced below £12. Pascal likes to introduce himself to all his customers and his selection of pastries and cakes are home-made daily. With darker evenings in October, we found it best to eat out at lunchtime, with snacks/sandwiches and maybe a modest amount of alcohol in the evening back at Parkers. For a large group, take a couple packs of cards or favourite board game, although there are a few such items in the lounge. Be warned, there is a low padded doorway between the kitchen and back door area, and two of the bedrooms have low, hard, lintels [I forgot to duck a couple of times]. An ideal venue for being the last of the four couples to celebrate our Golden Wedding! We particularly enjoyed listening to the bells chiming from Mathon Church for 2 to 3 hours during their practise one morning.
