Cottage In The Wood - Great Malvern

3 AA Rosette-awarded hotel with valley views on the Malvern Hills

Dining

The hotel holds 3 AA Rosettes for its fine-dining restaurant, 1919 Restaurant. This award-winning kitchen serves seasonal, locally sourced cuisine Thursday to Saturday evenings. The same brigade also cooks the brasserie menu on other nights, with every table sharing the valley view.

Rooms & Accommodation

The 32 bedrooms are spread across the grounds, each with en suite facilities and binoculars for the view. The estate also offers a two-bedroom lodge and a three-bedroom converted chapel for extra space. Room designs vary, with some featuring private terraces and record players with vinyl selections.

Location & Activities

Set high on the Malvern Hills, the estate looks out over thirty miles of the Severn Valley. Guests can walk directly from the door onto hiking trails and return to 4 hectares of quiet woodland. Nearby attractions include local vineyards for wine tasting and historic Eastnor Castle.

Spa & Wellness

New this year, The Forest Spa is set among the trees with a hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge. A relaxation room is available for winding down, and treatment rooms are staffed by the hotel's own therapists. Spa access is available by booking for day guests or as part of a stay.

Pet-Friendly & Family

The hotel offers dedicated facilities for pets, including pet bowls and baskets in designated rooms. Families can request kids' meals from the restaurant menu and borrow board games from reception. Outdoor spaces include a picnic area, sun terrace, and direct access to nature trails.
