We really had a wonderful stay in an exceptionally beautiful and relaxing location.
Dovecote is a cosy cottage set in beautiful grounds with lots of facilities available. Beyond the grounds there are also some lovely walks to take.
The Herford family were very kind and welcoming and we look forward to returning soon.

What a delightful place to stay. The grounds of Upper Court are stunning. The Dovecote conversion has been beautifully executed, and has retained its original character. It is cosy, but is well equipped for self-catering, and offers both inside and outside seating. There are great local walks, a fabulous village pub and cafe, which are both just a short walk away. The staff and owner were super friendly and helpful. One possible hazard is the stair gate at the threshold of the upper floor, it has the potential to cause someone to trip.

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 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!

Genuinely one of the most special places I’ve ever stayed at. The entire experience was flawless, the hosts were impeccable and the photos do not do justice to the experience. The grounds are so beautiful and serene, if you're looking for a place to unwind, look no further. Special thanks to Evie who was so attentive and professional. We truly didn't want to leave and will return whenever we get the chance.

Gorgeous little cottage on beautiful Manor grounds. Extremely welcoming and communicative hosts who had baked us fresh cookies on arrival. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, we had a fantastic stay.
