It is written for the reader seeking impartial advice on finding a good place to stay. Hotels cannot buy their way into the Guide.

Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
'Unparalleled views over the Severn Valley' can be seen from this hotel, in extensive grounds high above the Malvern Hills. The refurbished historic house has contemporary public spaces plus a collection of smart bedrooms in the main house, neighbouring Beech Cottage and the Coach House, some with a patio or small balcony. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the restaurant frame a rural panorama that stretches to the Cotswolds, a fine backdrop for the short modern menus that might include dishes such as roasted chicken breast with confit leg or salmon fillet. A tasting menu is also available, with casual meals available on the covered terrace. Dinner is an 'experience you do not want to miss'. 'Something special.' The Elgar route is close by.
'Five Nights for the Price of Four' Special Offer
‘Five Nights for the Price of Four’ Special Offer. Book five nights in the newly refurbished very good, great, or best rooms, and one of the nights will be free. This offer is available any night of the week in very good, great, or best room types (not available for cosy or classic room types). Subject to availability. Please mention the Good Hotel Guide when booking.
Christmas and New Year Package 10% discount Special Offer
This Christmas, escape to the magical Cottage in the Wood to celebrate the most wonderful time of year. This spectacular three-night stay, including a five course Christmas Day feast, will ensure an unforgettable Christmas. On Christmas Eve, start your way in the best possible way with a festive cocktail and maybe a board game in our cosy bar, followed by a sophisticated evening meal in the restaurant. Then settle down for a night of deep sleep in one of our beautiful rooms, ready for the big day. Awake on Christmas morning to a special Buck’s Fizz breakfast before stepping out for a stroll around the rolling Malvern Hills. Your five course Christmas feast is the star of the event, lovingly prepared by the hotel's chefs with all the best flavours of the season. Our informal evening buffet allows you to relax and mingle with fellow guests.
After a relaxed Boxing Day breakfast in the restaurant, why not pull on your walking boots and embrace the fresh air on the beautiful hills. In the evening, enjoy live jazz and mince pies in the bar before heading through to the restaurant for a delicious dinner. See in the New Year on top of the hill with an extravagant getaway, arriving on the 30th or 31st December for a two-night stay. An a la carte meal and breakfast is included on the second night, as well as the New Year’s party of the year, including an incredible seven-course tasting feast, and live entertainment from cabaret performers and a DJ.
