Holdfast Cottage Hotel  

friendly staff, nice location cosy hotel recomandable to friends!

?nothing!

rural situation

very small public rooms

Everything, setting, welcome, staff, food - brilliant

We could here the fan in the bathroom nextdoor

A lovely quiet countryside location & peaceful retreat but within easy reach of local amenities. Very welcoming hosts who made you feel at home immediately. A good choice of restaurant style food at reasonable prices plus the option of lighter bar meals & a well stocked bar.

Just one small point. The bedroom we had could do with some sound insulation from the next bedroom's bathroom. Very creaky floorboards which sounded like someone was actually in your room and which unfortunately happened 3 or 4 times during the night when we were there.

My one night stay definitely made me want to return for longer. The friendly staff were welcoming without being overwhelming. My single room was very comfortable and had everything I needed. Dinner and breakfast were excellent.

Friendly people, pleasant house, great room, great location

Very friendly owners and nice familly atmosphere. Parking on the grounds. Nice food in the hotel both for dinner and breakfast.

Loved the room,we had a fantastic room, double 4 poster bed, big bath, and could open windows so cool. The food was awesome, had bream for dinner and it was outstanding as was the lemon tart. The bed was very comfortable,and the lounge bar was nice. The owners were very warm in their greeting and could not do enough for us. Next time we are up there we will definitely stay at here again.

Small criticism is car park is small and we have a big car.

Everything. Hosts were very nice. Not a million miles away from shops etc but very quiet and tranquil, just what I needed. Very comfortable and clean. Pity I did not get to try the food but was still absolutely full from my stay at another hotel. I slept well which is extremely rare for me.

Location fab. Could see Malvern hills from our room. Nice comfy bed. Owners friendly plus their friendly dog. Plenty of breakfast. Peaceful.

Shower needs updating.

Location Very Clean & Tidy All our needs catered for. Friendly atmosphere.

Nothing to complain about.

Very friendly and accommodating proprietor, lovely location with tranquil garden views and views of the Malvern Hills. Well heated during the very cold March weather! great! Very pleasant breakfast room, bar and lounge. We are sure we shall stay again.

No shower in our room, but we understand the room will be refurbished.

Welcoming, friendly, cosy, good food and ale convenient for the Malverns. Train services to Cheltenham and Worcester nearby.and the Elgar links all on hand

The hotel owners were very welcoming and showed a genuine interest in our comfort and happiness during our stay. The food was also excellent!

The wifi didn't seem to be on although this wasn't really a problem and I didn't ask for it to be turned on.

Extremely pleasant and welcoming hosts. Very comfortable, clean and well thought out. Close for excellent walking in the Malvern Hills.

My partner and I stayed over the weekend for a short break, Wow! what a fabulous place with incredible views, a great place to stay especially if you enjoy the Malvern countryside (great walks!) and a great breakfast!! The whole place is well run and our room was warm, comfortable, clean and well furnished! So looking forward to staying again! don't pass by a stop at the "Holdfast" you won't be dissapointed!

We were welcomed by the very friendly proprietor as we pulled up. The surroundings and first impressions were very good as was our room with a great view of the Malvern Hills. Excellent comfy bed! We ate in thier own restaurant as it would have meant driving, but what an experience! I can only say the best steak I have ever tasted with my partners Sea Bream being equaly as good. Breakfast - another delight! localy sourced bacon and sausages and no baked beans! Perfect. Would definately recommend this Hotel.

Our only gripe was as its so close to Malvern - some bottled spring water would have made utopia!

The welcome was very friendly, it is quiet and comfortable (the lighting in our bedroom was particularly good), and the food is locally sourced, fresh, well prepared and delicious.

Holdfast Cottage was really excellent all around. The building is completely 'naturally' decorated as befits a comfortable small country house, with none of the meaningless clutter associated with so many B+B's. The owners could not have been more welcoming and helpful and the breakfast was very well cooked and promptly and hot. The coffee was 'real', rather than instant, such a pleasure when so often places shortcut for cheapness. I visited in late Autumn, but anyone visiting in Spring or summer has a large and very attractively landscaped garden to sit in on handsome garden furniture disposed all around the grounds. The new owners have gone to great lengths to make this venture a success (they have been in the business before elsewhere, and it really shows).

We received a warm welcome to a large 'comfy home'. The food was very good and we were well looked after. Would definitely return.
