We have stayed on a number of occasions, but not since 2009. We love the Cottage for its relaxed and relaxing comfort, good service and attention, excellent meal and of course the location which is unbeatable. We hope to return in less that 3 years. More

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 only reason for not scoring it 5 stars overall was the standard of food, which I felt was just average. Such a pity ! It could be one of... More

We stayed at the Cottage in the Woods for my birthday at the end of January, in a room in the Pinnacles where the view is undoubtedly beautiful. The weather was freezing cold so the next paragraph is particularly relevant The things that I expect to work in any hotel (and hack me off when they don’t) all worked brilliantly:... More

A belated happy birthday to you. We'll aim for that final "star" for your next visit. Great to hear of the "can do" attitude, that's what we are here for. It is infuriating when the basics don't work - as happened to me in a hotel this week - so pleased we scored well on this. Thank you for the... More

January 2012 : My Wife and I spent 3 nights at The Cottage in the Wood and were delighted with the comfort , ambience and friendliness of all the staff. The level of service was very high in every respect and this , combined with the Hotel's "unstuffy" approach made for a very relaxing atmosphere. The Bedroom was warm and... More

Thank you for taking the trouble to write a review following your stay. Over three nights you would notice any variation from the consistency that we strive to achieve so I'm delighted to read your very positive comments. Hope you will return one day. More

I had a weekend break at the end of January. The staff and the location made it a great experience. 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

Comments from new guests are important to me but returners are especially so as this gives me a good indication of whether we are maintaining standards or hopefully continuing to improve. I'm very pleased you comment on "nothing is too much trouble" for my team. I've passed the compliment on. We look forward to your next visit and thank you... 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!). Good location for walking and local places of interest, and tremendous views. Only reason for giving 4 starts not 5 was that although dinner was excellent both evenings, the menu was the same both...
