We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here with friends. We stayed in Beech Cottage, the bedrooms were pretty, beds comfortable and everything was exceptionally clean. There are stunning views from most rooms and from the light and airy Dining Room. The cooked breakfasts were extremely good and the evening meals were excellent. There is a cosy Bar but only for residents.... More

we had an overnight stay with our 6 month puppy in the most comfortable room with amazing views. Our room was in the Pinnacles. Everywhere was spotless with no doggy smells although they were catered for with bed provided, poo bags and biscuits. There were french doors out to a patio and you were in the wood with wonderful walks... More

We have always owned dogs and so few hotels genuinely welcome them. We have had virtually no issues over the 25 years we have been here. In fact we've has more issues with humans!!! We often find ourselves with our dog ostracised and put in some small, poky room. We do have specific dog designated rooms but that is really... More

We first visited Malvern to look round the Morgan factory a few years ago. We are keen walkers and were struck by how similar Malvern is to North Devon. If you love Lynton & Lynmouth you will love the Malvern Hills. The only thing lacking is the rushing rivers which are such a feature in North Devon. For walkers, Cottage... More

No rushing rivers I'm afraid - or sea - but the Severn is just across the valley and can be seen when in flood. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay and the walks. Some guests arrive here and don't get back in their car until it's time to leave. As for the wines, that's my domain as it were,... More

Thank you for your review and comments. House wines should always be more than adequate. I spend a disproportionate amount of time searching for good, affordable house wines. It's amazing to see what out of a £5 bottle is for the actual contents. You then realise there's no such thing as quality wine at under a fiver (unless on offer... More

We stayed at the Cottage in the Wood on a Saturday night in April. The location of the hotel is excellent and our room had lovely views over the Worcestershire countryside. We had dinner in the restaurant which was fine and the service was good. The guest rooms themselves could do with some updating. Although our room was perfectly comfortable... More

We had a 2 night stay at this little gem a couple of weeks ago. The attention to detail throughout the whole hotel should be envied by many in the hotel industry. For us nothing at all was lacking. The family run business offered us a relaxed and enjoyable stay (which was just what we were looking for). The hotel... More

It's so frustrating when the visibility is not crystal clear however, it's a good reason to return! Sue and I get used to panoramic views disappearing as we love Scotland!
