Upper Court is one of those Cotswold Georgian manors that everyone seems to love. The coaching archway leads into a courtyard full of flowers and topiary which is surrounded by the original coaching buildings, now converted into holiday cottages. Guests have the run of the 15 acres of garden and grounds which centre around the beautiful 2 acre lake, a wilderness that is home to a variety of wildfowl, swans, ducks and geese that all love to be fed! An ideal place for a romantic picnic or a wedding reception! Kemerton is one of several villages renowned for their beauty on the foot of Bredon Hill (famed for A.E. Houseman's poem of that name). Bredon Hill goes up to 1,000 feet with remains of an iron age fort at the top, with rewarding views of the Malvern and Cotswold Hills. On a clear day you can see 5 counties. The village shop and The Crown, a very friendly pub which serves excellent food in the restaurant, are a few minutes walk up the lane from Upper Court. The Manor and Coach House date back to 1760, the Dovecote and Watermill are earlier. The Coach House, Stables and Courtyard Cottage are the three surrounding the courtyard, providing ideal accommodation for a special occasion as they interconnect into one big house. If you want to be more private, each cottage has its own entrance and patio for eating out. You can also sit by the croquet lawn or overlooking the lake where there is a small fountain and huge lawn for games. Visitors can enjoy the pool (outside in walled garden in use June, July & August), the tennis court (tennis shoes essential), billiards (adults only) and table tennis. There is excellent clay pigeon shooting instruction on Bredon Hill and riding stables in the beautiful village of Stanton.

Sudeley Castle (Winchcombe) is 10 miles and Stow on the Wold and Stratford upon Avon approx 18 miles. There are many National Trust houses and gardens to visit including Snowshill Manor and Hidcote Manor Garden. Warwick Castle is 22 miles.
