Enjoying a delicious Flat White on the terrace at The Cottage in the Wood, whiling away the morning hours taking in the view and breathing in the fresh air before heading off to your next experience or a breathtaking walk on the Malvern Hills.
Experience a sunset or sunrise on the Malvern Hills
It’s well worthwhile hopping out of bed early to capture the beauty of a sunrise from our rooms or terrace, and if you stay with us in the colder months the sun sets earlier than normal so there’s plenty of time to get back to the Hotel for a warming roll top bath before dinner. If you have the time, we would recommend experiencing both the sunrise and the sunset. The sunrise is well worth getting up for and in the Winter you don’t have to get up too early to see the magic of dawn.
