Property details

Characterful country house hotel with historic charm, delicious dining, and an idyllic location near the Malvern Hills - includes breakfast and dinner credit
  • Worcestershire's best-kept secret: Beautifully reimagined as a country house hotel, Stanbrook Abbey is a Grade II-listed monastery brimming with quintessential English charm. Set amidst 26 acres of gardens, the building's heritage is celebrated through a recent multi-million-pound renovation. Having honoured the monastery’s striking 16th-century details, expect to find dramatic stone cloisters and gothic stained-glass windows merging seamlessly into elegant interiors with modern-day comforts.

  • Best of British: The Refectory, once the original nun's cafeteria, offers a menu showcasing the finest British produce. Enjoy dishes featuring ingredients like Welsh lamb and heritage vegetables, or head to the more casual George's Bar for a light bite, a pre-dinner drink, or a late-night digestif. For added indulgence, you could even treat yourself to a spot of afternoon tea (fees apply). 

  • Secluded countryside sanctuary: The guest rooms are a perfect blend of old and new, combining modern amenities and plush furnishings with original architectural details. When you’re not unwinding in your room, head to the wine cellar, get competitive in the dedicated games room, or climb the spiral staircase to the top of The Bell Tower, where you'll be rewarded with gorgeous views of the Malvern Hills.

How to get there

Situated in Callow End, the hotel is around a 15-minute drive from Worcester city centre and approximately 45 minutes from Birmingham. The closest train stations are Worcester Foregate Street and Worcester Shrub Hill Station, which are around a 15-minute drive via car or taxi.
