Getaways with altitude: 10 UK hillside hideaways

Get high on nature at these great hotels, cabins, pubs and farms – all at altitude

Don’t be misled by the name; the Cottage is actually a striking Georgian mansion, set high above the spa town of Malvern, surrounded by woodland. The elegant dining room offers panoramic views over the Severn Valley, as well as upmarket food and cocktails. This is a charming, family-run hotel that woos its guests with indulgent afternoon teas, peppy cocktails and upscale dining – with cycling, horse-riding and wine-tasting all on offer nearby.
