The Cotswolds backdrop sets the stage for an enchanting stay during this pinnacle of Jump racing.

The Gold Cup race week showcases the very best of Jump racing, boasting top-tier horses, jockeys, owners, and trainers converging for a week of high-quality racing. It’s a celebration of all things equine, and Upper Court has been the trusted base for horse racing enthusiasts for the past 40 years. 

Our credentials even extend to the television screen, as Channel 4 TV frequently selected Upper Court as their tranquil retreat while maintaining quick access to the racecourse. While Clare Balding and her team were regulars in the past, we continue to offer the same exceptional service.

Our charming Manor House and cottages are designed to accommodate larger groups of racegoers or individual parties with ease. We can accommodate:

14 adults in 7 rooms in the Manor House and 25 adults in 2 cottages, adjoining the main house.

At Upper Court, we understand the importance of a good meal. While our cottages come fully equipped for self-catering, you have the option to book a chef for a truly indulgent culinary experience. Alternatively, savor excellent racing breakfasts and dinners at the nearby Crown pub or at the manor house. We even provide convenient transportation to and from the racecourse to ensure you make the most of your race week adventure.
