'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.
