The Cottage in the Wood

A great hotel halfway up the hill, with a backdoor to the path to go up and see the amazing views. The rooms are big and cosy, much bigger than expected for an older building, and of very modern design. The views are stunning, and breakfast served in the morning is not a buffet but a proper table service. Wow! Would highly recommend to people wanting to walk the hills and indulge afterwards. Only minor thing - parking is challenging and we struggled to find place.

This was our second time to Cottage in the Woods, and it did not disappoint!

Our room was great, our building was Beach Cottage and we had a good view of the Malvern hills.

Really can't thank the restaurant and bar staff enough they were all amazing and so attentive, nothing was too much trouble and they were super friendly, whilst also remaining professional. Don't change a thing! We will be back again soon.

Thanks to all the staff for making our visit so special again.

Absolutely fantastic!

We popped in for lunch today as a last minute decision, nothing was too much trouble for the team.

Food was delicious, great tastes, lovely location! Very reasonably priced.

One of our favourites.

My wife and I went today for a 3 course lunch for her birthday. We’ve been a couple of times before and today didn’t disappoint. It was just out of this world. The location is stunning with beautiful views across the Severn Valley. It’s always a classy experience. The food is just to die for (catering for all tastes and requirements) and the service is top class. Thanks to Rachel who looked after us attentively. I’m not one for photographing my food, but I enclose a couple of the desserts and little birthday treat. Very highly recommended, thanks guys x

My wife and I came here last Friday for dinner and overnight stay to celebrate her birthday and our anniversary. What a good choice we made! Such a charming, friendly and welcoming hotel in a gorgeous location with superb views over the surrounding countryside. Our room was clean, cosy and very comfortable (with a bed, bowl and treats for our dog too!).
What made our short stay truly special though was the dinner - absolutely superb in every aspect. We had the 3 course special menu and it was worth every penny and every course was perfectly cooked and stylishly presented.
We'll definitely return and with luck have better weather so we can also enjoy the wonderful walks in the Malverns to be had directly from the hotel.

Excellent father's day meal. Great service and wonderful food. Didn't stay so cannot comment on the rooms.

If you can find a hotel in Worcestershire with a better view which I doubt, superb lunch, light subtle excellent falvor - will worth a vist

Came just for the Sunday lunch and was not disappointed at all. Every course was very tastefully crafted and the desserts were on the money! Definitely worth the drive from Birmingham and back. The views from the restaurant on a sunny day are great!

On the 3rd of October 2023 my wife had booked lunch for us at The Cottage in the Wood and I was blown away. The view was nothing but stunning!

The staff were friendly and the manager seemed very knowledgeable about what wine should go with our five course tasting menu. All the menu items (not just the five course) seemed very nice but as it was my birthday we went with the five course tasting.

Each and every dish was great! The food was top of the line and we both couldn’t have asked for better tasting food. For the price of £55 each we thought it was great value after tasting the food.

We can’t comment on staying at the hotel but they are the only hotel approved my employer Cisco so it must be good.

For dining we really recommend going to The Cottage in the Wood when visiting Malvern!

Enjoyed a lovely relaxed anniversary meal with a wonderful view. The service was excellent, especially Calem who was very attentive. Booked a room so we could enjoy a drink, however although the room was nice with a lovely view and well appointed I didn't think it represented the best value for money compared with other similar hotels.

Surprise family meal for my husbands birthday.
The whole experience from beginning to end was fabulous
Food was amazing, delicious and beautifully presented.
Hopefully it won't be to long before we return.

What a stunning location! Stayed for 6 days. Thoroughly spoilt with exceptionally good meals and a well stocked bar to round off the evening! Many thanks to the chefs who also catered excellently for vegetarian meals with good nutrition and imagination! Please send our grateful thanks to all your staff who were so friendly and helpful. Would love to re visit and will remember those panoramic views from the ridge above the woods behind the hotel forever. We needed a break and chose just the right place to stay. Thank you.

Amazing lunch at the beautiful restaurant. Not cheap, but well worth it.

We did not stay at the hotel.

A fantastic find, for a quick relaxing break from the mad world. The drinks are very reasonably priced, and the food is outstanding.

Everything about our stay was 10/10. Lovely room, amazing views, the staff were great. Our dinner was one of the nicest meals we have had! :)

Perfect place to escape from city life. Was enjoying beautiful views from the restaurant. Friendly staff:)

Gorgeous rural retreat in the English countryside! We stayed here for one night in the Coach House and had a stunning view of the landscape. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, with an easy to use heating system. Breakfast is included with the booking. We also had the tasting menu at the award winning restaurant in the evening which was delicious and had a great variety of dishes on it. We'd love to come back in the warmer weather to try some of the nearby walking routes.

Paid a lot of money for our room, nice room but certainly not £297 per nights worth. Beautiful location, food and staff were amazing. We will visit again but find a cheaper room. The bed was so comfy though.

Another very enjoyable stay at The Cottage. Comfy room with wonderful views over the beautiful Worcestershire countryside. Ate in the restaurant both nights of our stay - food was superb. All the staff are very welcoming and helpful, but must say a special ‘thank you’ to Tiff in the restaurant who made sure the six of us were so well looked after - we were all very appreciative of her professional but friendly care, ensuring that all went smoothly.

My husband and I stayed here recently for our wedding anniversary. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Our meal was exceptional and we even received a complimentary white chocolate "happy anniversary" plate sent out from the kitchen which was very thoughtful. Our room (in the Coach House) was clean and fresh and very spacious. This is our second visit to this hotel and again it didnt disappoint. We will be going back and would highly recommend.
