The Anchor Inn in Malvern Hills

Stopped off other evening for some.food with two hungry children me and the other half had burger deal little lad had popcorn chicken and little girl had chicken nuggets and wow all tasted amazing and the portion sizes were huge definitely worth the money

Was walking the entire length of the Malverns, and this place was at the perfect point on the return route back south. It's literally just 2mins off the trail with a good selection of local beers and a nice view over Malvern. Welcoming staff - will try out the food next time.

We went to the swan on Saturday the 2nd of November, we arrived as a group of 18 and all ordered food and drinks after 45 mins our food and another’s hadn’t turned up then a very grumpy waitress arrived to tell us they were out of steak can we order something else , after asking why our food hadn’t come when we ordered so long ago we were then told they had missed our order , no apologies and two very rude staff Mille and another who explained we were offered an alternative which we weren’t and when we tried !! To explain this we were then told we were lying as she knows Millie and she always tells the truth …. We ended up leaving after over an hour and having no food ! Service was shocking and honestly just the rudest I’ve had in a long time - mistakes get made but to not get a sorry or a free drink for our wait after the money we spent was shocking - don’t recommend!!!!! Avoid

The hotel has an excellent location but seriously disappoints. Beautiful period building with a depressing and cheaply furnished interior. Room was well-heated, but gloomy and very basic. Duvet and pillows very poor. Nasty cheap carpets throughout the room and whole hotel. Reception not manned after 8pm. Atmosphere was soulless, dismal and depressing. Everything appears done on the cheap, (except, maybe, its restaurant, which appears to be promoted for non-residents). I did not dine, so cannot comment on the restaurant food. Service at breakfast was almost non existent. Tables not laid. Very limited cold selection. Hot breakfast food was OK. Sadly, I regretted having booked and paid for a second night at this hotel. What a shame for such a nice town and iconic location.

For us there is only one hotel to stay at when visiting Malvern and that is The Abbey. As ever, we have not been disappointed on this occasion and look forward to our next "treat".
