The location was absolutely stunning! The photos online are fab but they honestly don't do the cottage justice! Myself and my husband came to stay for 1 night for a relaxing time away from our young children and my goodness we were relaxed! The location was clean, quiet and the perfect spot for us who like to walk. We walked to the beacon of Malvern Hills and navigating to the top from the cottage was easy! Such a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Room was nice, great views. Dinner (in the bar) was tasty but tiny ( 1x cod fish cake, prawns, with one floret of cauliflower divided in 3 and a few bean sprouts) I ended up ordering cheese for dessert to fill up, but that was also minuscule. Pricey too given the quantity. Staff all very pleasant and trying hard. They’ve scraped the breakfast buffet for ’starters’, juices etc, so you are served, the salmon scrambled eggs was nice. A low point was two small pots of jam being put on the table when toast was delivered. Overall just felt a bit mean.

Great hotel....BUT

The hotel is in a great location over looking the Three Counties Showground. Room was comfortable, decor was quite dark with midnight blue paint all round the room. We and others over the two days had to contend with a party of 12-14 people (of a certain age) at Breakfast who were very loud and would not stop talking over each other, even when eating, which spoilt it for those who wanted a quieter experience with other hotel residents who were sat in the breakfast room. This also happened with the evening meal where most of the tables were put together limiting others the opportunity to sit and have a quieter meal with their loved ones. Other than the entitled people noted above the hotel was a great experience and would venture back but will check to see if there were big parties of people staying.

Saved from a 5 out of 10 by the views and the food

Location and view is amazing and the food at dinner excellent. I understand why some people have complained about the lack of choice as it is either 3 courses or testing menu so if you only wanted 2 courses tough. But the 3 courses we ate were delicious. We were late booking a room for a Saturday night and got the last room, No:36, which does not have the amazing views, it is looking at the cliff wall and car park, so it's dark and gloomy, made more so by the very odd and poor lightning. Given the price the room is sparsely provisioned: no coffee machine just instant, no dressing gowns, no slippers. And the sink is chipped and cracked, and there is a strange tapping noise when other rooms are running their taps. They have tried to update the room but haven't quite finished, i.e. mismatched piece of brown furniture in amongst the newer 'Ikia' style items. On the outside the whole place looks tired. It needs a full refresh: flower beds need weeding, the buildings all need painting (looking like they had that damp green and black mold growing on the walls), gutters blocked with plants growing in them etc.

Food is not up to our standards

Chef could not handle my no salt soft diet. My wife had to forget about her low salt diet. We were disappointed with the menu, which I found impossible to read because I am red green colour blind. The hotel appeared to not understand what is colour blindness. We shall book again as we have done before. But we will not eat in the evening. This is the second time that we have had issues with the food.

Special

Surprised to find the Cottage in the Wood far from a cottage but wasn’t disappointed. The dwellings spread over three buildings with the restaurant and small bar area situated with the main reception. Due to the time of year and the weather we were unable to take in what would have been spectacular views. The room was lovely a cosy, clean with comfortable decor. The highlight of our stay was our fantastic taster menu on our first night. Fantastic cuisine and luckily you don’t have to stay there to dine there! We will definitely return in the summer months to experience the views and the surrounding area in better weather.
