The Railway Inn

Beautiful view, good service, friendly staff & good food. Only issue was the illuminated green fire exit sign - take your eye masks!

The room was quite nice. Decent size and bed linen / towels were clean and fresh. BUT it was really unwelcoming that everything was turned off at the wall, so no heating, no heated towel rail (which I never got working), no WiFi (which also never worked) and at first I thought the TV remote was broken until I worked out the TV was off at the wall. Also in a two night stay there was no housekeeping service at all. Further when you go out in the morning the pub is shut with no one there, so nobody to ask to fix things. Obviously no breakfast option either and a 1.5 mile walk to town.

There was a warm welcome in the pub before being shown to the separate, quiet accommodation. What a lovely surprise to find a slightly separated dining/drinks area in the room, and an astonishing view right across the Vale of Evesham to Bredon Hill! It was even possible to park my (small) car right outside the French windows. Also, this location was immediately next to paths that lead straight to the Malvern Hills' most distinctive views. This isn't a mainstream hotel with liveried butlers and room service: but, for proximity to charm, it would be hard to beat. I'll be back.

Great room, spacious and clean. Comfortable bed. Good location. Helpful staff.

Staff were excellent
