It's difficult to separate the Hotel from the Restaurant - L'amuse Bouche, as it would be churlish not to eat in this marvellous restaurant whilst staying in this beautiful independent hotel. Chris (restaurant) and Barbara(hotel) have turned this exquisite piece of Victorian architecture (built in 1852 for the Bishop of Worcester's summer residence) into a comfortable, welcoming and luxurious place...

I was decanted out of the Abbey in Malvern into the Cotford. I stayed in room 3, which was very comfortable and well fitted, though disappointingly dark in the glorious sunshine outside due to the wall of the next building. The internet prices were, I thought a bit steep (£5.00 for 2 hours). The two minor things aside, this hotel... More

Rather belatedly I am writing this review following a delightful stay with Chris, Barbara (and Hector) for Easter. We had the pleasure of the Bishop's Room with its four poster bed and glamorous decor. Although homely and welcoming, there is a sense of occasion at the Cotford and Chris's food is exceptional. The off street car parking is a bonus... More

Malvern is beautiful and well worth the visit. The Cotford Hotel is a lovely setting and a nice enough independent hotel. Food is a cut above most privately owned hotel restaurants in small towns like this as it is open to non-residents and the chef has netted 2AA rosettes and a spot in the Michelin Guide. Well done. HOWEVER... Then... More

Thank you for the complimentary start... however, I believe clarification is needed for your points of contention. You actually ordered 4 sodas ( 2 doubles) @ £1.75 each and lime cordial , split between 2 orders. £1.75 for a "mixer/ juice" is a fair price we feel and is comparable in most pubs, never mind hotel restaurants. As for the... More

Our second time of staying here and, again, we were not disappointed. How some people can review this wonderful hotel as poor or terrible is beyond me. I grant you it is not the Ritz, which perhaps those reviewers were used to, but it is the most cosiest and friendly hotel I have had the pleasure to stay at, and... More

We simply cannot speak highly enough about this place, everything was beyond perfect! For us the venue and food were two of the most important things to get right for our big day and so when we stumbled across The Cotford we knew we had struck gold. The hotel is stunning with beautiful gardens and piano lounge, every sinlge room... More

We stayed at The Cotford for two days over the Easter weekend and had a lovely time. The room was nice and clean although the bathroom was a little on the small side. However, the highlight was the restaurant. Nice atmosphere, great service and some of the best food we have had outside of Michelin starred places, indeed better than... More

Thank you so much for staying and your lovely words. As you can see, we dont get a bucket full of gushing reviews which appear to have been prompted along, but we do tend to get a steady stream of good honest responses.No one is perfect but we try, with our staff to give an honest, value for money product,...

Just loved this little hotel for our much needed break. It felt special but not too exclusive to make us feel out of place. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Loved the food in the restaurant and our superior room was great. Garden really pretty. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a quiet break in a lovely setting. Not... More

We decided to visit this family run hotel from the reviews we had seen and we were not disappointed. We were early arriving, however, this proved no problem to the owners who were warm and welcoming, as were all staff. We particularly fell in love with Hector, the hotel dog. The food in L'Amuse Bouche restaurant was superb in terms... More
