We booked this last minute and Trip Advisor did assist our decision in staying here. However, our delight far exceeded our anticipations. The setting is stunning and so convenient for walking. The Hotel staff are all extremely friendly and cannot do enough for you. If your staying here, definitely take the evening meal there - wonderfully presented and excellent quality... More

From arrival until we left, had a lovely time. Tea was good, surroundings and room was good. Room 6, small but lovely view. Very cold night so glad we stayed in main house. Wine list, over 500, chose a wine we were not sure of and was told if we did not like it, we did not have to pay... More

Terrific hotel - the friendliness and efficiency of the staff was truly outstanding ! The panoramic view across the countryside was fantastic. I look forward to going back there again.

The staff are friendly and helpful, the food well presented, the bar is well-stocked and the views from the Pinnacle rooms are fantastic. A really good combination for a stay in the Malvern Hills, especially if you like walking. More

We've stayed at the Cottage in the Wood before - which is why we returned! Only one night on this occasion as time was limited but the hotel was as good as ever and we had an enjoyable, relaxing 24 hours in this peaceful location. Warm welcome, excellent service, good food, lovely room - nothing too much trouble . Having... More

Very warm welcome despite our arriving several hours early and service remained exemplary throughout our stay.We stayed in main house, room 1, fine (except for wardrobe!).
