Camping field

General

  • Traditional and welcoming pub site at the foot of the Malvern Hills
  • Three miles from the Three Counties Showground
  • Dogs welcome on site and in the pub

It's just as well for one's waistline that the Malverns have some of the best hiking and ramble routes in the land – for there's a full pub menu of eats and drinks to get through at The Marlbank Inn.

And it's just as well that said walks are simple to access too, as you might be a tad full after sampling said menu: the inn and its campsite are at the foot of the Malvern Hills within easy reach of scenic and slimming walks. The Marlbank Inn is in rural Worcestershire, close to geocaching and treasure trails, fishing and bike rides, and Worcestershire Golf Club for gentle teeing off. Events and shows are easily sorted from here too, as the Three Counties Showground is within three miles.

The Marlbank is a traditional and welcoming country pub, with a sheltered camping field well placed for handsome views over the hills. There's a playground on site, and family attractions like Ice Quest Malvern and a leisure centre with pool are within 15 minutes' drive.

Facilities include toilets and showers, an undercover washing-up area and disabled facilities, along with chemical disposal and ice pack freezing. Dogs are welcome on site and in the pub.

Please note

Your dog must be tattooed or microchipped.

Under 18s must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians.

The restaurant is open between 01/01 and 31/12.

The site does not accept breeds/crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act (i.e. Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro).

Children under the age of 10 are not allowed in the bar area unless dining with an adult.

The pub is open Tuesday from 4.30pm until Sunday 6pm, it is closed on Monday. Food is available Wednesday to Saturday from 5.30pm to 9pm and Sunday 12-3pm. It is highly recommended that you book a table in advance due to limited availability.

Tidy site, welcoming pub next door and extensive walks from the door09/29/2020

Reviewer's country: United Kingdomalison j.Confirmed

  • Powered asphalt and grass trailer site
  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    Lovely friendly little site tucked behind excellent pub (good beer, superb and distinctive indian cuisine plus well-cooked pub favourites). well run and welcoming with good Covid security measures. Toilets clean and shared with pub but open all night too. Big hot showers and good functional Elsan and dishwash areas. Site mixed grass and hand standing with shade and comfortable distancing between pitches. We were here for the walking and loved the dog-friendly site and pub plus the fact there's an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways from the door which mean you can explore the whole of the main Malvern Hills ridge from the door without walking on main roads. can also walk on quiet footpaths to three counties showground in about 40 mins

    Disliked: 

    Nothing - did exactly what it aimed to do (and more :-) . Phone and wifi reception pretty iffy but that's not their fault

    Clean facilities.
    Efficient check-in.
    Covid activities well controlled, tables and chairs cleaned after each and every use.
    Tasty Curry Food, good beer choice.
    Excellent responsive hardworking waitresses in the bar/resto on the evening of Wednesday 23rd September.
    Large Car-park
    Great location for Little Malvern and the Beacons
    Few lights at night so good for star spotting.
    Excellent recycling for glass in the car park
    Donkies next door
    Damsons galore

    Disliked: 

    Not able to tip waitresses without cash when using the new contactless/card payment process. Older methods had a space to manually enter a tip outside of the bar bill

    First time I stayed there was washing-up liquid to hand so I did not bring any this time (shampoo seems to work fine)

    No recycling for cans and plastic

From the manager...

Thank you for your grate review !!
all positive stuff we love 10/10 :-)
We are looking into the tips at the moment ,and hope to have a plan in place soon for card payments.
Thanks for saying

    The food was fantastic - one of the best curries I've ever had. Hot showers. Nice location.

    Disliked: 

    Busy site with not much space between pitches. The toilets are the same as thos used by the pub which isn't ideal (we went to bed early so didn't want to go to a pub in PJ's)

From the manager...

Sorry to read your review !
The toilets are inside the pub ,but to the side of the building ,
You don't have to enter the building to go to the loo !
So PJs would not be noticed .
But we are happy you enjoyed your curry .......They are so good :-)

Local attractions

After all those Malvern Hills hikes (for that really is a mighty fine eats and drinks menu in The Marlbank Inn), set off for indoor and outdoor days around the Malverns and its countryside.

Days out for families include laser questing and ice skating at Ice Quest Malvern; taking the self-guided Spy Mission treasure trail around the hills, and pummelling clay into submission at Green Frog Pottery, 15 minutes' drive away. Kids – and grownups – of a certain sort might also like the Malvern Museum of Local History; if not, Ledbury's 19th-century Eastnor Castle has regular events including family days and sword fighting sessions (foam swords, you may be somewhat relieved to hear). Both museum and castle are 10 minutes' drive away.

For a peaceful day out, drive 25 minutes to the meadow valleys, orchards and woodland of The Knapp and Papermill Nature Reserve, to look out for woodpeckers and nuthatches, dormice and bats (the reserve has 11 of the UK's 15 breeding species). Pick up a free trail leaflet or buy a family trail guide and information booklet at the visitor centre, to head out after another bite to eat in the picnic area.

Must see

  • Malvern Hills (5.6 kilometers)
  • Eastnor Castle (6.4 kilometers)
  • Croome Park (National Trust) (9.9 kilometers)
