3-star gothic victorian hotel with 2 AA rosette restaurant in Great Malvern
Dining
The hotel's restaurant, L'amuse Bouche, has won Worcestershire Restaurant of the Year in 2016, 2017, and 2019. Chef Chris Morgan, recognized in the Michelin Guide, prepares French-style cuisine using local produce and seasonal vegetables from the hotel's award-winning gardens. A full English breakfast, awarded the AA Breakfast Award, is included, and the restaurant offers pre-theatre dining options for guests attending nearby entertainment venues.
Accommodations
Each of the 15 rooms is individually decorated and en suite, with some featuring four-poster beds like the Bishop's room. The hotel was built in 1851 and retains original gothic Victorian architecture, with modern amenities added. Rooms offer views of the landscaped gardens, and the hotel is pet-friendly, welcoming guests with dietary restrictions.
Location & Grounds
The Cotford Hotel sits in its own award-winning mature gardens, a short walk from Great Malvern town centre, the theatre, and the cinema. Guests have direct access to the Malvern Hills for hiking and outdoor activities, and Eastnor Castle is a nearby historical site. Free on-site parking is available, and the hotel offers a picnic area for outdoor dining.
Services & Amenities
The hotel provides a piano lounge, a newly refurbished bar, and a cosy lounge area with a fireplace. Meeting and banquet facilities are available for special occasions, and the hotel has hosted weddings and celebrations. Babysitting services and daily housekeeping are offered, along with luggage storage and packed lunches for guests exploring the area.
Target Audience
Cotford Hotel caters to couples seeking a romantic getaway and families looking for comfortable accommodation with activities. The hotel's staff deliver personalized service, and owners Barbara and Chris Morgan are directly involved in guest hospitality. The restaurant is closed on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday evenings, so pre-booking is essential for other nights.
