From the moment we walked through the door to a warm and personal greeting from Richard, we knew Clarence House was something special. Having been open just over a year after a complete refurbishment, it strikes the right note of relaxed contemporary, whilst retaining the features of a Victorian residence. We were certainly glad we had chosen to spend four... More

After reading all of the reviews on this sight its almost impossible to find anything negative about this place, and be honest...it is all correct.

My sister and I stayed for a couple of nights. I've only ever stayed in hotels before and was a bit wary about a B&B. But after visiting Clarence House it's changed my mind, but only for Clarence House! We stayed in room 2, everything was perfect. Our hosts Karen and Richard welcomed us like old friends, and advised us... More
