Guests consistently praise the exceptionally friendly staff, prime location near transport and the bay, and generous breakfast. The main drawbacks are dated interiors and maintenance issues, including leaks, mould, broken double glazing, and uncomfortable mattresses. While public areas have seen updates, room upkeep lags, though excellent service often offsets these concerns.

The Inn at Welland

Modern British · Bib

££

Take in delightful views of the Malvern Hills from the charming terrace of this country inn, or cosy up inside the understated New England-esque dining room. There's certainly a degree of style to the place, in both the décor and the attractive presentation of the dishes, which thankfully taste as good as they look, incorporating plenty of punchy flavours like pickled enoki or a rich red wine jus. There's a generosity to the portion sizes, especially in the starters – check out the specials board for some of the best value dishes.

33 The Homend

Modern British · ★ Michelin

£££

You'll find an abundance of homespun charm at this sweet, cosy restaurant run by a husband-and-wife team. Elizabeth warmly welcomes you into the 18th-century, Grade II listed building, while her husband James works alone in the kitchen. His concise menu is a masterclass in naturally delicious cooking that is free of frippery. Ingredients are sourced from trusted suppliers and delivered with excellent complementary flavours, be it Salcombe crab with punchy romesco or in-season deer with a deep, intensely flavoured faggot.

1919 at The Cottage in the Wood

Modern British

££££

In finer weather, you must aim for a table on the terrace at this restaurant set within the famous The Cottage in the Wood hotel. Built – funnily enough – in 1919, it boasts one of the best panoramic views of the English countryside that you will find. The restaurant itself is a bright, stylish place serving both a tasting menu and an à la carte. A proudly British spirit shines through in the cooking, from the use of Exmoor caviar and Evesham asparagus to a butter sauce flavoured with English sparkling wine. The service is well-paced and the whole experience comes at a sensible price tag.

The Butchers Arms

Modern British

££

A thick wooden door salvaged from an old ship leads you into this sweet rural inn where hop bines vie for space with the locals’ tankards on low exposed beams. The menu is short but packed full of top quality seasonal ingredients and honest flavours lead the way. The friendly team create a warm, friendly atmosphere, and they serve the ales straight from the keg.
