Location and distances
Holywell Road, WR14 4LG Great Malvern, Malvern Hills
The Cottage in the Wood Estate sits high on the Malvern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with nine acres of private woodland and footpaths leading straight onto the ridge and its thirty-mile views across the Severn Valley. Great Malvern lies three miles away — a Victorian spa town with independent shops, the Malvern Theatres and the Morgan Motor Company works. Worcester, with its cathedral and county cricket, is a short drive, and the Three Counties Showground hosts shows year-round. Walkers have the hills and the Worcestershire Way from the door; further afield are the Cotswolds, the Wye Valley and Cheltenham's racing. The M5 (J7/J8) and mainline rail keep London and Birmingham within easy reach — a base for exploring three counties.

A refined setting for meetings, away-days and private events, with easy reach of the M5, Worcester and the Cotswolds.
Special features of the hotel
What sets The Cottage in the Wood Estate apart is the view — thirty miles across the Severn Valley, from a hilltop perch in nine acres of private woodland, with footpaths climbing straight onto the Malvern Hills. The food is a destination in itself: 1919 holds three AA Rosettes and a Michelin Guide place, and the same kitchen cooks the all-day brasserie. New for 2026, The Forest Spa brings a hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, relaxation room and treatment rooms to a woodland setting. Beyond the 32 individually designed en-suite rooms, two private guest houses — a two-bed lodge and a three-bed converted chapel — suit families and longer stays. Privately owned and full of character, with an award-winning wine list — the antithesis of the chain hotel.
