The location was absolutely stunning! The photos online are fab but they honestly don't do the cottage justice! Myself and my husband came to stay for 1 night for a relaxing time away from our young children and my goodness we were relaxed! The location was clean, quiet and the perfect spot for us who like to walk. We walked to the beacon of Malvern Hills and navigating to the top from the cottage was easy! Such a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend to anyone.

8 September 2024
Room was nice, great views. Dinner (in the bar) was tasty but tiny ( 1x cod fish cake, prawns, with one floret of cauliflower divided in 3 and a few bean sprouts) I ended up ordering cheese for dessert to fill up, but that was also minuscule. Pricey too given the quantity. Staff all very pleasant and trying hard. They’ve scraped the breakfast buffet for ’starters’, juices etc, so you are served, the salmon scrambled eggs was nice. A low point was two small pots of jam being put on the table when toast was delivered. Overall just felt a bit mean.

The view is the star…but it may be one of the few!
Good on some levels. A little lacking in others. I really wanted to give this a five star review as it feels like it should have..but…
Just a few little touches make it not ‘5 star’ ( at least not for me).
I’ve stayed in many hotels and B & Bs and this should be in the top ten.
The room was perfectly nice - although the sofa to take in the view was a little incongruous for me and a period armchair would be more fitting, although obviously only one person could then sit.
Actually from the angle only one person could take in the view from room 30 anyway!
It’s very thoughtful to have binoculars in the rooms - and tea making facilities. Although if you are going to provide this maybe provide milk or cream also?
And a few small biscuits maybe? I’ve even stayed in chain hotels which do this.
Small things matter…
(To be fair they did provide milk, and the biscuits when they picked up my initial comments to Hotels.com).
The biggest issue I had with the room was the shower. Hotel showers sometimes take a little working out, but they really shouldn’t.
No one is going to complain about an over explanation of how the shower/works.
It is literally different everywhere.
I don’t want to spend more time making the shower work than showering!
And why would you have a different temperature control between the handheld and the overhead shower?!
Unfortunately no space for the restaurant- but I do recommend staff check to see if a customer’s food is all ok after serving.

Hotel and staff were brilliant and the food amazing.
Only criticism was lack of view and the bath being so high to get in and out, and we are tall. But apart from that really lovely and will go back again.

Stunning view
What an amazing location!!
The steep drive up the hill was totally worth it. The view from our room was amazing.
The other surprise was the restaurant. The tasting menu offered excellent value for the quality of food provided.
