Holdfast Cottage - Malvern Hills

This charming hotel is a delightful place with friendly and hospitable hosts. The cleanliness and charm of the hotel, along with their lovely dog, make it a top choice for accommodation in Malvern.

We were delighted to discover this charming hotel during our road trip and wished we could have stayed longer. Julie, Steven, and Wilma were all lovely hosts. Wilma, a two-year-old black retriever, greeted us with a friendly lick. The simple holiday home bedroom had a comfortable bed and a good ensuite bathroom, meeting all our needs. Instead of exploring the Malvern hills in the dark without satnav, we decided to stay for the evening meal at the hotel. We were delighted with the delicious three-course meal, which included soup, pate, slow-roasted lamb, chocolate orange cake, and meringue. We enjoyed a relaxing evening and were tempted to stay longer. The generous breakfast prepared us for the day ahead, and we also opted for a lunch package for a small fee. Julie and Steven welcomed us warmly, and we can't wait to book another, longer stay with them (and Wilma, of course)!

Beautiful old hotel in a large garden, very comfortable and has a great cook that eats very tasty with a good wine list. the host are a hoot, very attentive to their needs, and very friendly the sanitary in our room took a bit...from getting used to, although no problem. the whole English breakfast one of the best I had that it did not, not over large and more important, beautifully cooked with minimal fat. we wish we had spent another night and will definitely be back

Booked here just for one night. Easy to find and lovely location. Scenery everywhere you look. The hosts could not have been more welcoming. The room was a cute country cottage room. Creaky floorboards and sash windows. It was clean, neat and tidy. Large clean...ensuite too. We ate in as we did not want to drive about. We had the light snack menu. I had gammon, chips and peas. The portion was huge. My husband had the scampi, equally huge. There is a good guest sitting room for your coffee and a comfortable bar for a pre dinner drink. The drinks prices were a bit steep but it prevents you from drink driving or driving around in the dark in an area you don't know particularly well trying to locate a pub. I think this is fair deal. The rooms were very quiet after everyone had gone to bed. I expected the place to be noisy with floorboards etc but it wasn't. The bed was very comfortable. Loads of towels etc in the ensuite and a tea tray in the room. Breakfast was ample. I had fruit and yoghurt and porridge. The portion of porridge would have enabled me to climb the hills all day long. Lovely place and great hosts.

This charming restaurant is slightly off the beaten path but is conveniently located near Malvern's attractions and other sites. The food served here is outstanding, accompanied by a nice variety of wines and beers. The service from the hosts is warm and welcoming without being over the top. The only downside is the outdated plumbing in the bathroom.
