When the table is set, the wine is poured, and the menu feels like a celebration in itself, dinner becomes an occasion to remember.
Here at Visit Worcestershire, we want to celebrate those moments, be it a date night, a birthday, an anniversary, catching up with old friends… or just a well-earned treat. We have the perfect list of ‘dine and stay’ locations across the county where you can simply roll upstairs (or across the vineyard) and wake up to do it all again at breakfast.
No taxis, no designated driver, just uninterrupted indulgence. Here are some of our favourite places where fine food and a comfy bed go hand in hand.
Restaurant Sow – Tenbury Wells - A True Farm to Fork Experience
If reduced food miles, a stunning rural setting and Michelin Guide food is your cup of tea, then Restaurant Sow is for you. Nestled on the Hereford/Worcestershire border, this stunning restaurant sits within in its own estate, tour the gardens, pick the produce, watch the chefs work wonders in the kitchen while you sit back and enjoy the theatre of it all. With two cosy boutique rooms on site, this makes the perfect ‘dine and stay’ location.
Astley Vineyard – Stourport - Wine, Vines and Starry Skies
Ever dreamt of waking up among the vines? At Astley Vineyard, you can. Their cosy shepherd huts are tucked between the rows, so you can sip a glass of award-winning wine at sunset, listen to the owls, and wake to birdsong. It’s romantic, rustic and more than a little magical – the perfect vineyard escape that celebrates Worcestershire’s growing wine scene.
The Lygon Arms – Broadway - A Classic Cotswold Escape
Few places do heritage and hospitality quite like The Lygon Arms in Broadway. Steeped in history (it once hosted Oliver Cromwell, no less), this coaching inn now offers the full works: elegant dining with celebrity Chef James Martin, a wine list to linger over, luxurious rooms, and even a spa if you fancy making your stay a proper retreat. It’s the definition of a foodie mini-break with a side of indulgence, all within the stunning village of Broadway.
The Elms – Abberley – Country Manor, Modern Hospitality
Small but mighty, stylish but never stuffy. If you want to relax in elegance, dive into delicious meals and recharge in the most bougee of spas, the Elms is for you. Proudly recognised with the prestigious AA Inspector's Choice Four Red Star Hotel Rating, you can be guaranteed a warm welcome and a memorable stay at this modern and stylish hotel.
Wagtail Retreat – Hot Tubs & Hampers
For something a little quirkier, Wagtail Retreats near Worcester offers luxury shepherd’s huts with hot tubs or outdoor bathtubs which overlook the rolling countryside of Worcestershire. Add a vineyard tour, and you’ve got the makings of a foodie escape with plenty of bubbles, both in the glass and under the stars.
Brockencote Hall – Chaddesley Corbett - Manor House Magic
Think sweeping driveways, manicured lawns, and a 3 AA Rosette restaurant. Brockencote Hall is Worcestershire romance in its purest form. Dine in style, stay in one of the manor’s elegant bedrooms, and wander the grounds the next morning as though you own the place. It’s graceful, timeless, and just right for special occasions.
The Cottage in the Wood – Malvern – A View like No Other
Perched on the sides of the majestic Malvern Hills sits The Cottage in the Wood. This hotel pairs jaw-dropping views with plates that celebrate the very best of seasonal ingredients. The rooms are all individually designed, so no two stays are ever the same, but the common thread is simple: beautiful food, big skies, and a breakfast worth lingering over.
The Wood Norton – Dinner with a Twist
For something a little different, The Wood Norton often runs “Stay, Dine & Meet the Chef” experiences. Expect a glass of fizz on arrival, dinner with flair, and the chance to hear directly from the culinary team before retreating to one of their elegant bedrooms. It’s dinner, bed, and a story to tell.
Hogarths Stone Manor – Stone – Food from the Three Counties
If you’re looking for cosy fireside charm, an idyllic setting near a number of local attractions, and of course - delicious food which has been sourced and inspired by the surrounding region, Hogarth’s Stone Manor is for you. Guests can see where their meat, wine and veggies have been grown, with the Hotel's Foodie maps, which showcase the best of the season from Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Herefordshire.
