The Chapel & The Studio

Two self-contained guest houses set a little apart from the hotel, on their own ground among the trees: The Chapel and The Studio. Room to spread out, entirely your own, for a family, a gathering of friends, or a couple who simply like more space.

You have the best of both worlds: the privacy of your own place, and everything the hotel is here for a short walk away. A friendly team to help plan your days, cocktails or a local beer in the bar, light bites on the terrace, and a relaxed meal in The Brasserie. Cook in, or come up for a hearty breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner. The Forest Spa is close by, too, to add to your stay.

Surrounded by woodland, with the Severn Valley falling away to the rolling Cotswolds beyond, both are made for the same thing: the space to unwind, and the time to make the most of the retreat.

A working chapel, beautifully kept

The Chapel has been stunningly converted from a place of worship into private accommodation that keeps all its character, and it looks out on the same views that once moved Elgar, known to have played the organ here in its chapel days.

The heart of it is a light, open-plan living space: original beams and a soaring ceiling, full-height windows framing the valley, comfortable lounge seating and a dining table. There's a wood-burning stove for cooler evenings and a well-stocked bookshelf to browse, and at one end a fully equipped kitchen with a generous breakfast bar, and a piano, should the mood take you.

Three bedrooms sleep up to six, and a private terrace runs the full length of the front with the valley laid out before you and the Cotswolds beyond. Step outside and you’re straight into the woodland and gate leads you to the Malvern Hills beyond.

A contemporary haven

Surrounded By The Malvern Hills
