Holdfast Cottage Hotel & Restaurant in Malvern Hills

Stayed here for 1 night....it is very overpriced for a very small room with no breakfast. Breakfast was an extra £12.50 and had been warmed up in the microwave. At the bar I ordered a Bulmer cider and thought it didn't taste right....when I looked it was 6 months out of date. I wouldn't stay here again...not worth £130.00 with no breakfast.

Lovely cottage feel, nice cozy bedroom and and got a room with a garden view which was big and lovely. However, 3 stars because I could feel springs through the mattress and when you're paying £80 you expect better.

Good location but apparently in transition as no breakfast available as no chef! We wanted a view but got the car park view! Lovely room and reception were very helpful 🤗

Wonderful little hotel, friendly, clean with such delightful hosts...and their gorgeous dog😀. When in Malvern this will be our choice of hotel.

So glad that we found this charming hotel for our one-night stopover during a road trip. We now wish that we could have stayed for longer. Julie, Steven and Wilma are all lovely! Wilma greeted me with some tickly toe-licking (but then she is a 2yr old black retriever!) Simple cottage bedroom, comfortable bed and good ensuite, catered for all of our needs. We decided to stay in for our evening meal rather than navigating the twisting lanes of the Malvern Hills in a classic car, with no SatNav, in the dark, and we were rewarded with a delicious 3 course meal (soup for him, pate for her, followed by 2 gorgeous portions of slow roast lamb, then choc orange tart for him, meringue & fruit for her!) We started and finished the evening in the cosy bar, following a relaxing sit in the garden - what more could you want! We wanted more than one night there! Lovely big breakfast set us up well for the day and for a small charge the hotel also provided us with a good packed lunch to take on our journey. Julie & Steven made us feel very welcome and we can't wait to book another (longer) stay with them. (and Wilma of course!)

Sobresaliente, la calidad de la comida y cocina. Buena selección de menú principal y menú de bar. Sería bueno poder tener carne y tal vez algunos excelente pescado y patatas fritas como una de las opciones. Pero una buena selección para satisfacer a todo el mundo. El curry tailandés. También sobresaliente, huevos y patatas fritas. Queso de cabra asado inicial también era adorable.

Un hotel encantador en un gran jardín, muy cómoda y tiene un gran cocinero, la comida muy sabrosa, con una buena lista de vinos. Los anfitriones son una bocina, muy atento a sus necesidades, y muy amable la fontanería en nuestra habitación un poco complicada a pesar de que no hay problema. El desayuno inglés es uno de los mejores que he probado en que no era más grande y, más importante, muy bien cocinado con un mínimo de grasa. Nos hubiera gustado quedarnos otra noche y sin duda volveremos

Reservamos aquí sólo por una noche. Fácil de encontrar y encantador. Paisaje por todas partes. Los anfitriones no podría haber sido más acogedor. La habitación era una linda habitación casa de campo. Tablas que crujen y ventanas de guillotina. Estaba limpio, limpio y ordenado. Gran baño limpio también. Comimos en ya que no quieres conducir. Tuvimos el menú de aperitivos. Tuve sobresaliente, patatas fritas y guisantes. La porción era enorme. Mi marido tenía el scampi, igualmente enorme. Hay una buena sala de estar para su café y un cómodo bar para tomar una bebida antes de la cena. Las bebidas los precios eran un poco elevados pero te impide beber conduciendo o conducir en la oscuridad en una zona que no conocía particularmente bien tratando de localizar a un pub. Creo que este es precio justo. Las habitaciones eran muy tranquilo después de todo el mundo había ido a la cama. Me esperaba el lugar ruidoso con tablas, etc, pero no fue así. La cama era muy cómoda. Montones de toallas, etc. en el baño y una bandeja de té en la habitación. El desayuno era abundante. Tenía fruta y yogur y avena. La porción de gachas habría permitido escalar las colinas a lo largo de todo el día. Precioso lugar y unos anfitriones geniales.

Un lugar encantador fuera del camino, pero cerca de las atracciones de malvern y otros lugares. La comida en el restaurante es especialmente buena, con una buena selección de vinos y cervezas. Servicio de anfitriones mía es amable, pero no exagerado. Es la única pega de moda de fontanería en el baño.

Una pequeña joya, dueños cuidaron todos muy bien con ideas para exploración y comer aunque tenían su propio restaurante.Habitaciones muy cómodas, un montón de luces y enchufesel desayuno era mejor de lo normal con la calidad de la comida de fuentes locales impresionante!Comimos en el restaurante del hotel en la última noche y nos hubiera gustado ambas nochescomida super bien servido y mi anfitrión cuidó con bebidasaltamente recomendado

Este hotel rural tranquilo está a muy poca distancia en coche del recinto ferial y el 3 condados sitios alrededor de Malvern y es fácilmente accesible desde la M5. El hotel y la habitación eran cómodas y el personal muy servicial. Fue bueno tener un bar en el lugar, el jardín era precioso y la comida deliciosa en el restaurante. Sin duda ocupar la próxima vez que vaya a este lugar.

Bonito hotel de la cabaña pero el agua caliente sistema necesita mejorarse y mejoradas. Sólo había un hilito de agua de la ducha y teníamos que esperar a calentarse, especialmente si se podía oír a alguien en la habitación de al lado corriendo un baño! Muy buen desayuno. No comimos en el restaurante por la noche ya que a nosotros nos pareció un poco caro. El bar es agradable y acogedor pero bastante pequeña.

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.

Everything. Great accommodation great Breakfast and great evening meals. Plus mid day sandwiches. The proprietors are friendly and helpful in every way.

We got married at Holdfast Cottage on 30th August. Steve and Julie and their team are amazing. We could not have asked for a better day. Nothing was to much to ask. They were attentive to all aspects of our needs and wants. I am so pleased that we found such a friendly group of people to look after us. The food that served was perfect to what we had asked for as the Bride has a gluten intolerance. I have to say a big thanks to Andy the head chef. You guys made our day so special. I can't give the Holdfast Cottage enough stars. I hope anyone who goes here will love it as much as we do. The rooms we and our guests stayed in were well decorated and clean and fresh. I hope you will go here as guests and leave as friends. Thanks everyone.

My husband booked this idyllic cottage for our Valentine's meal. We were made immediately welcome and offered drinks in the cosy bar. I met the resident dog and although I don't usually 'do' dogs he was absolutely adorable. The menu was a little limited with four mains, one meat, one chicken, one fish and one vegetarian option, however all sounded equally as tempting.Service was exceptional, we were served quickly and efficiently by the owners, who were very attentive and yet not overly obtrusive. We were seated in the restaurant, by a window which overlooked the floodlit gardens. Our table was decorated with red flowers and candlelit which I thought was nice. We were the only people in the restaurant, which made it feel like my husband had booked the whole place especially for me. However, it was hard to understand why this was so, given the quality of the venue and the food.Starters were excellent, the main was very good, with the best carrots I have every tasted (apparently simply glazed in butter). Only minor gripe would be that the desserts were not quite up to the same standard as the other two courses, but this in no way detracted from what was a very special meal.Prices were about what you would expect for a special occasion, but not something you would perhaps choose to pay everyday. All in all I would thoroughly recommend the restaurant and would quite happily return. The owners were keen to let us know that they serve Pimms on the lawn in the summer and this sounds very tempting. My advice is to give this a go, make an evening of it and enjoy both the hospitality of the owners, the overall excellent cuisine and the intimate atmosphere. Enjoy!

A group of us who meet bimonthly for Sunday lunch had been before and found that there are new owners so decided to go again.The gardens had been freshly mowed and that has a very country smell, we were welcomed by the owner and sat in the summerlike sunshine choosing from the menu.4 starters Soup /Pork terrine/Salmon and another!4 mains and three desserts . Limited but enough choice. Being Sunday most had the roast beef ( 4/5 slices)and Yorkshire pudding with plentiful veggies,One had the pork and it came with three thick slices I had the cod with rissotto and veggies.. All the meals came well cooked and fresh with roast potatoes .Then we come to the pudds The Chocolate mousse with Berries was superb and Pannacotta went down well. We were able to have cheese two of the party and then coffee / tea in garden. All included in a very fair price. I dislike the "" added extras" that creep onto some bills. None here , the wine choice was good and we had a bin end with was an Alsace ,Altogether with predinner drinks and wines etc £30 per person was great value.The place itself was so relaxing we just chilled till we thought we had better let the staff go , by the way they moved various tables and chairs in the garden for us and it all felt that we were not a nuisance just that it was a pleasure to have us there There were great views of the Malvern hills Good luck to the new owners.

We were a little apprehensive to learn that one of our favourite places for a special occasion had changed hands, but a visit before Christmas reassured us that the things that attracted us before are still there.Holdfast Cottage is a gem, a country cottage of character away from it all. In the summer, the wisteria above the patio is a fantastic sight. It is a homely and comfortable place.The dining rooms are set so that you are not overcrowded, rather intimate instead - a feeling of being in someone's house, rather than a hotel or restaurant.The food was great - wonderful classic dishes, well presented and very tasty.Stephen & Julie Thompson told us that they intend to maintain the quality of the experience and atmosphere, whilst doing some necessary updating. We wish them well - and will be back for more!
