I am thrilled to share the wonderful experience my family and I had during our stay at Upper Court Holiday Cottages in Kemerton, UK. As a father of five children, ranging in age from 2 to 11, finding a vacation spot that caters to everyone's needs can be quite a feat. However, Upper Court not only met but exceeded our expectations in every way possible.
One of the standout features of our stay was the unbeatable location of Upper Court. Situated conveniently, it served as the perfect launching point for our day trips to the Cotswolds. When you have five children with varying interests and energy levels, having easy access to numerous attractions is a game changer. Our explorations of the Co...

We spent an idyllic week staying at the Dovecote. It was a perfect little haven of peace and quiet. To be able to walk out of the door into nature, walking the gardens, standing at the waters edge watching the comings and goings of the Ducks and Moorhens was bliss, you couldn't help but be in the moment, a perfect antidote to a busy working life, even if it was for just a few days. We had a regular visitor of Robin who popped into the kitchen for the odd crumb left behind by our two small Dogs who were warmly welcomed. We took advantage of all the activities that were available, we rowed around Swan's Island, played table tennis, swam in the pool and luxuriated in the sauna..... Perfect....

If you are looking to stay in a living part of English history this is the ideal venue. A beautiful Manor House and outbuildings that offer modern amenities but still give you the feel that you are enjoying a historical experience. Our party consisted of members from the Usa, Asia and Europe and so it provided a unique experience. The number of buildings and cottages means that larger parties can be catered for with each group having their own unique accommodation. Part of the fun was visiting all the different rooms as every one was unique.
We hired the Gallery so all the group could join together at meal times and it became the hub for our group. There are also lots of activities of which ...

We hired the two cottages for my sisters hen do, from start to finish the process was easy thanks to Katharine. The cottages themselves were lovely and the grounds they are in were stunning. My sister and the group had the best weekend and we discussed going back at a later day for another amazing weekend. I would 100% recommended staying here.

The property and the surrounding facilities were wonderful. We had an amazing stay, and even ran out of time to do some of the activities we wanted. We were a large family group covering ages 5 to nearly 80, and everyone had a great time. The property is ideally located near lots of places o visit as well as having amazing stuff to do on site. The swimming pool was a particular highlight. The accomodation is also very safe and secure.

I originally booked the Upper Court for May 2021 to coincide with my 65th birthday but this had to be postponed due to covid. Unbeknown to us at the time, the rescheduled date ended up as the Platinum Jubilee weekend. I invited my 4 daughters and their families plus my Mother, Brother and Sister. In the end there were 22 of us over the weekend (Thursday to Sunday) ranging in age from 1 to 92. we used the Courtyard Cottage, Dovecote and 3 rooms in the Manor house as well as the Coach House. The attraction of the Upper Court was that it was just about the right size for my party and it offered the opportunity of both separate spaces (for my daughters with children) and a space for mixing. ...

This was a beautiful cottage and we had a lovely stay. Only issue being a skylight making the room too light for my children to settle to sleep. Thank you for a lovely stay!

We booked all of the cottages and the gallery for a hen party and had an absolutely amazing weekend. The properties themselves were lovely, clean and had all that we needed, the grounds were incredible and the gallery room was perfect for what we needed. We also paid to have the pool heated and enjoyed two lovely afternoons in the pool.
The properties, location, grounds and owners/staff were all amazing from start to finish! We also thought it was great value for money and would definitely return.
Our hen said it was the perfect venue!
We've made memories we will treasure, thank you!

My boyfriend and I spent the weekend at the manor for a belated celebration of my birthday. We were immediately drawn to the various activities on offer and the location as it’s close to Bredon Hill. We were warmly welcomed by the family and shown to our beautifully decorated room, which overlooked the lake. As a lovely touch, we we’re even treated to some hand baked biscuits. All in all, our stay was very relaxing and we will definitely book again in the future.
