“The Abbey impresses as a piece of Great Malvern history, with architecture dating back to the 1600s. I particularly note the bespoke catering and event spaces-including the largest dance hall in Malvern-making it a versatile choice. Its location near the Malvern Hills makes it a very good pick for couples.”

lovely stay with abbey views

executive roomlovely towelspriory viewbreakfast quality

we were upgraded to an executive double room upon arrival, it was a very pleasant surprise. the bathroom included very large fluffy towels, which i always appreciate. i could see the priory from our room, alongside views of the vale of evesham. breakfast was cooked to order, and the ingredients tasted of good quality.

i did notice a slight draught coming from the original period windows in our room, it is likely due to the building's age.
