Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a picturesque location with stunning views and easy access to Malvern Hills. The rooms are cozy with French windows opening to a private patio, but the cooking smells can be overwhelming. The service is outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff. The dining experience is delightful, although a bit pricey. Overall, a wonderful retreat with exceptional service.
The hotel is nestled in a peaceful location in the Malverns with breathtaking views, offering friendly and attentive service. However, the rooms lack cleanliness and are situated on the side of the hotel with mismatched dark wood furniture. The dining experience falls short in terms of quality and presentation.
I couldn't have asked for a better location - nestled in the Malvern Hills, it was a peaceful retreat. The rooms were tastefully decorated and clean, though it seems they are due for an update. The service had its ups and downs, with some minor lapses but overall satisfactory. The dining experience left room for improvement, especially with limited breakfast options. The facilities were good, offering a relaxing stay.
