Services
1919 Restaurant, Lounge Bar and Terrace is the place to meet, eat, drink and celebrate the good stuff in life. Sip a cocktail on the Terrace, indulge in a three-course evening meal paired with sippable wines or simply relax in the Lounge Bar with a coffee and a natter with a friend. There is no itinerary, no agenda - just space to enjoy the great food, good company and stunning views.
You're spoilt for choice when choosing one of our 32 bedrooms, which are all original and memorable in their own way. Our hotel is set within seven acres of woodland, high in the Malvern Hills, and many of our rooms have sweeping and dramatic views of the Severn Valley, Vale of Evesham and the rolling hills of the Cotswolds.
Afternoon Tea is a quintessential part of our history. The Cottage in the Wood Malvern originally opened as Tea Rooms in 1919, and we still serve the best Afternoon Tea in Malvern - complete with stunning views across the Severn Valley. Join us on the Terrace or in 1919 Restaurant for our traditional and elegant Afternoon Tea, perfect for a celebration with family or simply as a glorious treat with friends.

The Malverns is one of Britain's best kept secrets. It may not be as famous as its neighbouring Cotswolds, but this Area of Outstanding Beauty offers up some of the most beautiful countryside Britain has to offer.

Picturesque villages, sweeping views, historical landmarks and cultural heritage - The Malverns is an escape away from the typical British tourist hotspots and The Cottage in the Wood Malvern is the perfect base to explore and discover The Malverns.

Met up with the family for a late Christmas lunch. Pre ordered the food from the menu. Was £29 per head and the food was exceptional!! The communication with the venue was simple and efficient. Excellent venue for a nice meal out and good views.

Afternoon tea whilst good could be improved upon. White bread sandwiches were not fresh bread or perhaps they were kept in a fridge! Maybe a change of plate and cutlery from savoury to sweet! No spoons for the jam or cream. The cakes were lovely as were the scones, maybe the offer of more tea. Overall good but not perfect. Maybe the crockery should be checked for chips too.

Had a pleasant time with friends but found the hotel bar very small for the size of hotel small selection of beers , staff average.
Staff need to learn to remove dirty glasses & dishes that are finished with after our evening meal which was a 9pm sitting we went into the bar for a drink & was told stop serving at 10.30pm even though we were residents we eventually got a drink but by 11.15 we were ushered out like school children by to our rooms.
Our checking out bill was well over £400.00 for 1 night with Dinner & breakfast therefore should be getting 5 star treatment & service when you charge

Lovely room with great bathroom, huge comfortable bed, bt turntable with records provided, fantastic view with amazing scenery. Food very tasty but very limited choice of posh nosh available. For those with simple pallets like me you may struggle to find something you like. Chips were amazing

Such a beautiful place to stay. The hotel is newly decorated and very tastefully done. Each bedroom is different and individual. The reception areas are fabulous and extremely comfortable with incredible views. The food amazing and all staff very welcoming and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to go again. Louise

The setting, staff and service were excellent. The location was beautiful and the view from our room and the restaurant were outstanding. The food was delicious.
The only negative was the lack of flexibility with the food choices. Having to have a set menu in order to eat in the restaurant was not ideal. It would have been better to have had an a la carte option where you could pay for the courses you wanted rather than being tied to the full menu.

Went with friends today for an impromptu lunch. Roasting day. Sat out and the food was just superb. Staff were friendly. The service was not overly quick but we were in no hurry. The best fish and chips I've tasted in a long time!! We will be back.
