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

Nice cottage hotel but the hot water system needs to be improved/upgraded. There was only a trickle of water from the shower and we had to wait for it to get warm, especially if you could hear someone in the room next door running a...bath! Very nice breakfast. We did not eat in their restaurant in the evening as we found it slightly expensive. The bar is nice and cosy but quite small.

Stayed at this hotel for three nights and during that time could not fault either the breakfast or dinner. Food at all times was perfectly cooked and nicely presented. Would recommend this restaurant to all food buffs.
