Lovely 🥰 we will be back next year for the Malvern Show.
Pros:

It’s a lovely hotel… nice features, quiet even though above a main road. Booked a suite which was excellent.

Cons:

As we were above reception and the bar found it a little noisy.

Could be great - not quite there
Pros:

Breakfast was well-cooked and a nice selection of continental options. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed. The grounds were well-maintained and it was very nice to explore them. Staff were kind (if rushed by the volume of guests). We enjoyed a drink from the bar and sitting outside.

Cons:

We stayed on a warm weekend and the room (in Pear Tree Mews) heated up uncomfortably. The nearest plug sockets meant that the fan was placed some distance from the bed, so even with the window open the heat remained very uncomfortable. Other rooms in the hotel have air conditioning but not ours. Hot nights like this are only getting more common and the hotel needs to invest in better solutions. Other little issues with the stay - red staining (I very much hope not blood) on the net curtain. The television did not work. The cord on the kettle was so short, combined with the placement of plug sockets, meant that it could only be boiled on the floor. These are issues for a hotel of this price and a 4-star rating.

Nice character building within nice grounds
Pros:

Nice old building with character and nice grounds.

Cons:

For the price I would have expected the accommodation within the ‘Pear Tree Mews’ outbuildings to be air-conditioned rather than just provide a desk fan. The room was very hot and stuffy which the fan did not alleviate. Although the Hotel provided shower gel this ran out half-way through my shower which makes me believe that the container (which was bolted to the wall) had not been checked when the room was cleaned?

Overpriced and extremely poor. Won’t be returning.
Pros:

I would like to say the views however our room overlooked another building (which you could see through the windows) so our curtains had to stay closed. Made room really dark as only one ceiling light worked!

Cons:

Our room didn’t have any air-con or windows that opened so the room was extremely stuffy and hot. The room only had 1 ceiling light that worked and the bedside lights didn’t work either so the room was really dark. The full length mirror was thick with dust.

Good for one night but wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Convenient location, gorgeous gardens and comfortable beds. Shower pressure was good.

Cons:

The interior is dated and requires modernisation. There is a lot of dust in the air inside. Service at breakfast was bad. Too few staff members, only one coffee machine serving >30 guests leading to delays and - despite glorious sunshine outside - we were told 2 out of 3 mornings that we could not have breakfast on the terrace and had to sit inside in the stuffy (as all windows were closed) dining room. Rather disappointing.

Brilliant. Thanks. Good weather also. Loved Pershore.
Pros:

Very good food and service.

Cons:

I did ask for a room in the main house that was agreed but not supplied. However it was just a nostalgia request since I first stayed there in 1969 with the BBC and this trip was our honeymoon and also a significant birthday.

Nice stay. Not really suitable in warm weather..
Pros:

Beautiful setting (main building, grounds and the view all stunning).Dinner (on the terrace) was superb - excellent food quality.

Cons:

Our room was unbearably warm - although a fan was provided this made no difference as the plug socket was not near the window. No fridge the main issue - the complimentary cans of water were undrinkable and we were unable to keep our own drinks/beauty products cool.

We did enjoy our stay; we had also attended a wake in the orangery in the afternoon.
Pros:

The hotel itself is fantastic, and we had a wonderful meal, and the chef had made a lovely main course for my wife, and the service in the bar and restaurant was excellent.

Cons:

After being asked to book for dinner by email, we did not receive any email response or telephone call.
My Telephone call to reception took four attempts, when answered receptionist was not keen to check for my email and said she would take booking over phone. I realised shortly that the email had been received when she confirmed that my wife followed a plant-based diet. She did apologise at this point when I asked again about my email, I think this should have been followed up with a response to my email and confirmation of my reservation, but it wasn't.

On arriving to the Four star Hotel, we found the signage a bit of a struggle, after getting to reception we were checked in ok, but offered no help with our baggage or shown to our room. We were given very vague directions to our room; they proved to be very unclear. We found a sign on the building saying the room number range, but no signage marking the entrance, one door that was open was directly into someone’s bedroom! Another patio door was locked, and another set had a digital coded lock entrance (later we were told this was the entrance door and the lock was normally not used.

It’s a shame no entrance sign or clear direction from receptionist was given, or perhaps being shown to our room would have been more appropriate. We found our way in eventually from a side emergency exit door which was open due to the lovely hot weather. Our room all seemed ok, disappointed about no air conditioning.
The Bathroom fan was not working, and the mirror light was also not working for shaving etc.
The wi-fi was non-existent and we're told by a member of staff that it was a bit up and down, maybe the hot weather!

The hotel itself is fantastic and we had a wonderful meal, and the chef had made a lovely main course for my wife, and the service in the bar and restaurant was excellent.

We did enjoy our stay; we had also attended a wake in the orangery in the afternoon which was a very pleasant place.
