Cottage In The Wood
About this property
High on the Malvern Hills, The Cottage in the Wood Estate looks out over thirty miles of the Severn Valley — a view that shifts with the light and the weather, and the reason so many of our guests keep coming back. Walk straight from the door onto the hills, and come home to nine acres of quiet woodland. It’s privately owned and it feels it: characterful rather than uniform, and genuinely welcoming.
Food matters here, and it all comes from one kitchen. The Brasserie serves modern British cooking rooted in the local landscape — fine-dining craft with the freedom of a brasserie, the standard high and the setting relaxed. Open for dinner every evening, with the valley laid out beyond the windows and the view from every table. There’s a serious wine list, and a bar worth lingering in.
New to the estate is The Forest Spa, set among the trees, where indoor comfort meets Nordic-style outdoor bathing. Soak in the hot tub, warm up in the sauna and brace yourself in the cold plunge out in the open air, then retreat indoors to the relaxation room and treatment rooms, staffed by our own therapists. Come for the day, or fold it into a stay.
The 32 bedrooms are spread across the grounds — each one different, all en suite, all making the most of the view, right down to a pair of binoculars on the sill. For more room, two self-contained guest houses sit within the estate: a two-bedroom lodge and a three-bedroom converted chapel, private and your own.
