“Dog-friendly country house hotel on a plateau in the Malvern hills. Stunning views over the Severn Valley. Two fantastic restaurants, one unforgettable location.”

Hotel review

The Daily Mail reckons that the Cottage in the Wood Hotel has "the best view in England", and rightly so as it gazes out over the Severn Valley from its plateau in the Malvern hills. The rooms (spread throughout the Main House, Coach House, Beech house), boast contemporary design without forgetting their Georgian heritage. There are also two self-catering options, The Chapel and The Studio. Dogs are welcome in the ground floor rooms of the coach house and in both guest houses and on the terrace, but are not allowed in the main house, reception or bar areas. You can expect a tasteful blend of modern art, statement colours, luxurious furnishings and antiques. 1919 Restaurant is a 3 AA Rosette restaurant that offers a 7-course tasting menu. Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday for evening meals only. Brasserie offers high-quality, relaxed dining with a 5-course taster menu alongside sharing plates, starters and mains. Open all day Wednesday – Sunday and for evening meals on Monday and Tuesday.
