Upper Court, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, Cotswolds

Five cottages can accommodate parties of 2 - 34, birthday celebration party, hen party, weddings or just a big family reunion. The same seriously comfortable, stylish feel applies to all 5 properties around the splendidly Georgian Upper Court. All benefit from the lake (designated an ANOB), a beautiful wilderness that is home to a variety of wildfowl, ducks, swans and geese that love to be fed and a children’s paradise. The 15 acres of grounds and garden are a plants man’s joy. Wood burning stoves, secret doors, good bathrooms, well equipped kitchens.

The Herfords love antiques; their classic good taste, along with a real understanding of what’s needed (they’ve been welcoming guests for 40 years), make for a happy experience. Kemerton, a Conservation Area, is at the foot of the Cotswolds and Bredon Hill for wonderful walks. Tewkesbury 4 miles, Cheltenham Racecourse 7 miles, perfect for Cotswold touring – altogether quite a place!

The Coach House sleeps 10+1, sitting/dining room is huge, seats 24 at 2 tables. The Stables sleeps 4+1, one bedroom is ground floor, en-suite; Courtyard sleeps 6+2. These 3 cottages, surrounding a topiary filled courtyard with tables and chairs, sleep 24 when all together, or can remain totally independent. We do accept pets in the Coach House only.
