Boutique hotel Tudor Farmhouse has recently been awarded one of the AA’s prestigious Breakfast Awards of 2017. These awards are given in recognition of an extremely high quality breakfast, with emphasis on the very best sourced ingredients, cooked with both skill and passion and served with excellent hospitality and service.
The image above shows the hotel’s proud breakfast chef Mo Morgan alongside the head chef Rob Cox. Mo has been part of the Tudor Farmhouse team for ten years meaning that she has probably cooked over 85,000 breakfasts!
Mo comments “We are all absolutely thrilled with this award, especially as our breakfasts are such
a big part of the Tudor Farmhouse experience and really sets our guests up for a great day ahead”
Hotel guests can expect a wide variety of breakfast options ranging from fresh fruit salads, cereals with natural yoghurt or granola and flavoured croissants to smooth porridge with cream & honey, oak smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toasted crumpets, grilled brace kipper with lemon, oak smoked haddock with a poached egg or the classic full English.
The hotel’s new kitchen garden provides ingredients for the restaurant which also operates (where possible) a 20-mile menu rule; whereby ingredients and produce are sourced from producers within a 20 mile radius.
The hotel is located right in the heart of Clearwell (a small working village famed for its caves and castle) in the Forest of Dean and has been lovingly converted from a former 13th century working farm into a boutique hotel and restaurant with 20 rooms, suites and cottages. It is also the proud owner of two AA Rosettes.
Tudor Farmhouse is the perfect destination for a rural escape, being just an hour’s drive from the centre of Bristol and Cardiff and under a three hour drive from central London. Set just a stone’s throw from the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, hotel guests can quite easily mountain bike in the forest, canoe or kayak on the Wye River at Symonds Yat or visit the nearby sculpture trail and railway. Those that wish to simply relax can do so in the hotel’s 14 acre garden (with cobbled sun-trap patios, pretty gardens and vast orchards) or borrow a pair of Hunter wellies and explore the surrounding countryside.
