Group stays in Malvern
Malvern works especially well for groups who want one house, enough space to stay together, and easy access to restaurants, activities, and day-trip options nearby. Browse live large group houses first, then add experiences like private chefs, spa treatments, or cocktail masterclasses once you've chosen the right base for your dates.
Why Malvern?
The Malvern Hills rise straight out of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire border, a nine-mile ridge of ancient common land with views over two counties. It is walking country first and foremost — the Iron Age ramparts of British Camp, the springs that made Malvern water famous, and quiet lanes through Colwall and Ledbury. Add the Morgan Motor Company factory, Eastnor Castle and a proper regional theatre, and it makes an unusually well-rounded base for a large group who want countryside without being cut off.

Roughly 3 hours from London via the M40/M5, and under an hour from Birmingham
