The Mount Pleasant Hotel  

Tucked in central Malvern, this family-run Georgian country house sits steps from Great Malvern Priory and minutes from Malvern Museum and Malvern Theatres. Great Malvern Train Station is about 0.7 miles away, with the Malvern Hills and the Morgan Motor Company close by — ideal for family-friendly stays and walks into the hills.

The Mount Pleasant occupies a handsome Georgian building with around 18 individually decorated en-suite bedrooms, some featuring original antique furniture and family rooms for 2 adults and 2 children. Many public rooms and bedrooms overlook the Priory and east over the Vale of Evesham toward the Cotswolds, and the hotel offers direct access to the Malvern Hills.

Standout on-site features include an outdoor tennis court, terrace, garden and picnic area, plus wedding services and on-site shopping. Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking (limited availability) are available — and you can wake up to Priory views before heading out for hill walks.

Three meeting rooms, conference space and a business center make this a solid choice for small events and functions. Multilingual staff, luggage storage and complimentary Wi-Fi keep business stays running smoothly.

Two on-site restaurants — the Mulberry Tree and the Lantern — plus a bar/lounge serve local flavours and casual fare. Room service is available during limited hours and breakfast can be booked for a fee.
