Let the festivities begin

A season of calm, indulgence and thoughtful celebration in the heart of the Severn Valley.

You bring your curiosity and your appetite; we'll take care of the rest.

Christmas in the Hills

Christmas, the calm way. Arrive to a seasonal hamper in your room, wake to leisurely breakfasts, and let us take care of the rest. From Christmas Eve dinner to a five-course Christmas Day feast and a relaxed Boxing Day evening. Walk the Malvern Hills, come back to mulled wine and mince pies, and let the season arrive quietly.

No hosting, no rushing: just space to enjoy it.

Ringing in the New Year

Step into 2027 from the heights of the Malvern Hills. A festive cocktail on arrival sets the tone, and as New Year's Eve falls, the bar fills with live entertainment before a seven-course New Year's Eve dinner. Party hosts and live music carry you to the midnight countdown and a glass of Champagne, in a joyful, house-party atmosphere.

The next day, recover gently: a leisurely breakfast and a three-course dinner in The Brasserie, so you leave the hills refreshed for the year ahead.

Plan your Christmas Party

Celebrate the season in the heart of the Malvern Hills. An end-of-year gathering with colleagues, a festive lunch with friends, or a private party. Expect carefully crafted seasonal menus, expertly mixed cocktails and fine wines, with the option to make it more memorable still: tastings, live entertainment, and overnight stays. From intimate gatherings to larger corporate events, our team will help you shape a celebration to fit.
