The Railway is located in Malvern on the A449, three miles south of Great Malvern in Worcestershire and is easily accessible to locals, destination seekers and passing traffic. Sitting slightly up from the road, there are gorgeous views of the Malvern Hills to be had from both the pub and from the three en-suite letting rooms. Malvern is a delightful spa town in an area of outstanding natural beauty and specific scientific interest surrounded by the Wye Valley with local attractions such as Worcester Racecourse and Spetchley Park Gardens all within a short drive. The area is brimming with history and attracts explorers, photographers and more all year round. The Malvern Museum, The Great Priory, Theatres and the Science park are all within ten minutes by car and Malvern Mountain is also a ten minute drive away offering breath-taking views as well as exciting biking, hiking and running trails. The Railway is in a great location to allow people to explore the area, then settle down in the evening for great food, excellent drink and a comfy nights sleep before doing it all again the next day!
Pub Layout
The Railway is a large detached pub that sits up on a small hill from the main road overlooking the Malvern Hills with parking for up to 8 cars and also on-road parking available. As you enter through the main door there are two distinct areas separated by the bar. On one side is an area that lends itself to a games focussed space housing the pool table and darts board. On the other side is a comfortable and relaxed area home to the main seating and dining space. There is a mixture of loose and fixed seating to further enable casual drinking but also to enable sit down dining with the bar offering a warm and welcoming feel that is well decorated. The commercial kitchen is located to the rear of the pub. Externally, there is a fabulous decked area which has views over the Malvern Hills along with a smoking solution. In addition to this there are three en-suite letting rooms located in its own building adjacent to the pub.
The private accommodation comprises of three double bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, office and bathroom.
The Railway has three double en-suite rooms which are located in a separate low-level building to the right hand side of the pub and have their own entrances. All rooms are well kept and nicely decorated.

The Railway is in a fantastic location in Malvern Wells with stunning views and scenery. I am looking for an all-round experienced operator that has a real focus on driving the business forward maximising all possible income streams. They will ideally have experience in the industry and a vast knowledge of Malvern and the surrounding area. They need to be passionate, take pride in everything they do and have the ability to create memorable yet personal experiences for their guests. The Railway will benefit from an operator who puts people at the heart of everything they do being able to engage with the local community as well as focusing on tourism and leisure which forms a big part of the business here. Food is a key part of this business as well as the letting rooms so a real commitment is required to maximise these opportunities. Standards and operational excellence must be first class and the right licensee will have a vision for this fantastic opportunity.
