Easter in the Malverns

As the Malvern Hills emerge into spring, Easter offers a natural pause, a moment to step away, embrace the season, and experience the countryside at its most vibrant. At The Cottage in the Wood, the Easter Bank Holiday weekend is thoughtfully designed for those seeking space, exceptional food, and a sense of quiet indulgence.

Whether you’re planning a refined getaway for two or a relaxed break with family, Easter in the Malverns brings together the very best of the season.

A Spring Escape for Couples

For couples, Easter presents the ideal opportunity to retreat to the hills and enjoy a slower pace, without compromising on comfort or experience.

Days begin with unhurried mornings and views stretching across the Malverns, before heading out to explore the surrounding landscape. Walk the ridgelines of the hills, discover heritage villages, or spend time browsing independent shops and local producers, all within easy reach.

The emphasis is on effortless enjoyment: fresh air, considered surroundings, and time to properly switch off. Return in the evening to relaxed yet refined dining, where seasonal ingredients and thoughtful preparation take centre stage. It’s a setting that lends itself to lingering conversations, exceptional food, and the simple pleasure of time well spent.

Easter Sunday Lunch

Easter Sunday at The Cottage in the Wood is a celebration of the season, centred around a carefully crafted dining experience.

Join us for a lunch that showcases the best of spring ingredients, from tender shoulder of new season lamb to perfectly roasted rump cap of beef, each dish prepared with precision and care.

Desserts bring a balance of elegance and comfort, with options such as a delicate rhubarb Mille-feuille layered with crème pâtissière, alongside timeless favourites like spiced apple crumble.

More than just a meal, Easter Sunday here is an occasion, an opportunity to gather, dine, and enjoy the atmosphere of the day in a truly special setting.

Make the Most of the Long Weekend

Extend your stay and settle into the rhythm of the countryside. Guests staying two or more nights between 30th March and 10th April will be welcomed with a chocolate Easter bunny in their room on arrival when booking a Bed & Breakfast, Dinner Bed & Breakfast or 1919 Restaurant Bed & Breakfast package, a thoughtful seasonal touch to begin your stay.

Easter for Families

Alongside its sense of calm and refinement, the Malverns offer plenty for families looking to spend meaningful time together.

The surrounding landscape provides endless opportunity for exploration, from gentle walks across the hills to visits to nearby villages and local attractions. For something distinctive, families can enjoy a guided tour of the Morgan Motor Company, offering a fascinating insight into British automotive craftsmanship.

For a more hands-on experience, chocolate-making workshops with Choccotastic in nearby Henley Swan provide a creative and engaging activity for all ages, an Easter treat in every sense.
