Not the stay we were hoping for
Pros:

Pool is lovely. Very warm. Room was quiet. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Position of hotel on an industrial estate. This isn't clear on the description. Also if you are not there for a spa day there is no comfortable lounge bar to get a drink during the day. We had to wait for our room in the 'grand lounge' where we were the only people dressed in outdoor clothes. Everyone else was in robes and flip flops. My husband felt a bit uncomfortable. We could see people having pedicures and foot massages. Don't think it's clear in the description that this is a 'spa' hotel and not really for people to stay just for a visit to Malvern ( we were going to a show).
The availability of plug sockets in the room was dire. There was a double plug behind one bedside cabinet but the phone and lamp were plugged in there ( had to pull the phone out). The other side had one single socket which was unusable as it was for a round prong plug. Definitely room for improvement.

Would stay again because spa and pool great
Pros:

It was two years since we were here and we noted some improvements in the facilities around the pool and spa areas. It’s clear the hotel has invested in the property. The bedroom we had was refurbished and was tasteful in decor. Everything worked ! However still only small tv on the wall shame it wasn’t upgraded to a larger flat screen ….

Cons:

Since our last stay the menu got changed in the restaurant. Personally we felt the food choice somewhat strange not haute cuisine and not pub style somewhere in the middle and not quite there

Felt quality not there and was disappointed. Quite pricey too.

Pros:

Spa, room and breakfast good, staff very pleasant.

Cons:

Location, not what we expected, an industrial estate. This should be reflected within the hotel details so that the booker is fully informed.

Relaxing.
Pros:

The spa was incredible. Especially as it is heated. The food was lovely, lots of choice for lunch and dinner: the room was spacious and bed was really comfy. Staff were friendly.

Cons:

Even though there was a window. The room was quite hot.
Some staff were a little unprofessional as I could hear their conversations. (Coffee bar)

Excellent stay, hospitable and friendly staff and amazing food!
Pros:

Was an amazing stay despite the weather! Spa was great and the food and drink was also of great quality. Not too far from the Malvern Hills and only a 5 minute walk or a one minute drive from a retail park, situated really well!

Cons:

Nothing, the stay was great even despite the weather!

Facilities & breakfast were all just perfect, personal & accommodating, can’t wait to come again!
Pros:

The whole space & spa was stunning, spacious & generally beautiful. The staff were absolutely amazing & could not do enough to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Cons:

There wasn’t anything aside from when we went for late night walks, requires a night staff to allow us entry again so felt maybe a key card to gain access would be better however this is minor as we loved our stay so much.
