We had such a wonderful time at Upper Court. Plenty to do to keep us occupied and was very cosy. Fantastic hospitality from the hosts too :)

Thank you to all at Upper Court for a lovely weekend. The cottages were lovely and full of character and very well equipped. The facilities and grounds are amazing - so much to do and see! We loved playing tennis and going on the boats and the pool. Thanks to Petra and all the family for being very accommodating and helpful. We really enjoyed the weekend and hope to return one day!

Just finished a fantastic week with friends at Upper Court. The location was great for lots of fun days out. The place was brilliant and we took full advantage of the pool, tennis court, boats in the lake, walks around the beautiful garden and evenings by the firepit. The owners were friendly and helpful before and throughout. Thanks for a great week!

I had not thought that I would find the perfect place for my whole family to spend a weekend together. But Upper Court appeared on my internet search, our 'available dates' matched and in little more than a month, our party of twenty adults and children arrived at Upper Court, with the highest of hopes and expectations. - And the close access, from the M5 helped, tremendously!
We were blessed with amazing weather- no hurricanes and just the slightest of rain: blue skies matched our spirits.
On arrival, we all began to explore the 'personality' of each section of the accommodation. We also rented the 'Court yard Cottage' - my review will encompass both properties - and each of us, especially the children (aged 2-13 years) squealed with excitement.
We had planned dinner at the Coach House for Friday evening, with a huge family breakfast on Saturday morning. The scope of the Coach House allows for more than our party of twenty to sit together.
Even though we arrived at the end of February, I knew the family would wish to use the swimming pool, therefore I was quite happy to pay the winter fee to heat the pool...And it was such a success! Adults and children could be seen running, in their swimming togs, fro their accommodation to the pool, at 10.00 am!
At the same time, six of us joined Auriol for a two hour pottery class. We were all absolute novices but Auriol taught us with such patience and professionalism...We enjoyed an amazingly creative two hours and have brought our pots home!
We also decided to book lunch at 'The Crown', Kemerton village. The pub is warm and welcoming and the food was fantastic (we booked and selected our meals in advance).
My whole family found every aspect of the weekend to be perfect - and how often can anyone say this? The event meant a great deal to each of us, as we remembered our much loved family members. Upper Court has served us so well. Thank you.

We staid at Upper Court with a reunion group of university friends and their families; 24 adults, 8 children and 4 babies. This estate was a perfect place for us, and for any group I would imagine. Most of us staid in the rental houses, some in the main house, and some in the pub down the road. One of the houses has a large room which we could all eat in together.

During the booking process Bill and Diana were very helpful and accommodating of our various requests. Arriving at Upper Court our expectations were more than exceeded; the grounds are stunning with gardens which looked good even in February. There is a good children's play area with slide, swings, seesaw, climbing area. Also a trampoline which was fantastic fun for children and adults! Also a games room with ping pong table, mini football. The lake is beautiful, and sadly we didn't have time to go out in the boat on it.

The family very kindly heated the pool for us, even though they don't usually in February. While it wasn't balmy, it was warm enough for us to spend extended amounts of time in it, including the small children. We are grateful for their flexibility!

The cottages are spacious, very clean, very comfortable beds, everything you could want in the kitchens, plenty of hot water in the bathrooms and generally every practical comfort. But more than the practicalities, each of the cottages is decorated with such taste; good quality and attractive furniture, wallpaper, rugs, paintings on the walls. Such a wonderful change from the usual generic IKEA furnished holiday flats! I wish my house was half as beautiful. We all felt very comfortable there and I feel privileged to have been able to stay in such a special place.

This setup worked extremely well for our extended group. It allowed us to spend quality time together, the children free to roam around the gardens. The cottages are separate (nighttime baby noises were well contained...) but close enough to feel that we were one cohesive group.

I was very happy to meet the family as we were leaving and they couldn't have been kinder and I know would have done everything in their power to fix any problem that might have arisen.

Thank you so much and I sincerely hope to return!

Diana and Bill were a delight throughout our wedding planning. They were always available to run through our wedding details and we met with them regularly in their beautiful house in the run up to our big day. They accommodated our request for our own caterer and wedding coordinator and it felt like nothing was too much to ask. The cottages were clean and suitable for our large party and the location was perfect. All our guests commented on what a stunning venue Upper Court is, and those who slept on site all enjoyed their stay. It is, however, a shame that they only deal with one marquee supplier as we found the marquee company difficult to deal with and overpriced.

lovely village with great pub. The crown has a lot of ambience friendly staff good food and beers
The coach house has a spacious layout plenty of room to play board games .An outdoor games room where we enjoyed table tennis
good size oven in which we cooked a very large turkey.plenty of crockery and large refectory table
we needed the log burner lit most of the time as the high ceilinged lounge was draughty a bit cold with rug rolled up as we had a dog
A memorable xmas happy stay with church bells ringing and owls hooting a real get away

A big group of us were treated to a fantastic weekend away in the countryside. The grounds are breathtaking, and the area surrounding the cottages were perfect for long walks. The Crown Inn provided a fantastic Sunday Roast and the cottages themselves were comfortable and peaceful. The only downside would be communication in the lead up to our check-in could have been slightly better handled. Overall, a fabulous setting for our school reunion and we all agreed we would certainly recommend Upper Court to our friends and family.

Hired 3 of the cottages with friends - they are great properties in a beautiful location.
Grounds of the house are amazing - on a lake with swans.
Pub near by.
I hope we will return next year.
We had an issue with a power cut, and the owners did everything they could to rectify.

Both families have just stayed at Upper Court for my son's and daughter in law's wedding. The Coach House and cottages were all lovely. The kitchen at the The Coach House was very well equipped and even has salt and pepper! The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms had nice toiletries and plenty of good quality toilet paper. Bill and Diana Herford, the owners of upper court were charming and very helpful. It was a magical setting for a wedding.

A wonderful location for a party and for a family holiday in a beautiful Cotswolds village. Located near to the scenic and historic Bredon Hill, there are many footpaths and bridleways to explore. The house is roomy and well equipped and has a good pub with delicious food very nearby.

Utterly fabulous break - location was beautiful and totally peaceful. We felt immediately welcomed and the hosts were friendly and relaxed. It was so nice to go to such a lovely place for my Hen Do - indeed, many other places won’t take such groups but finally a place that trusted we would enjoy and respect our environment just as other guests. Local pub was fab and the beds were extraordinarily comfortable - best sleep away in a long time. Thank you so much for all your help in the run up and whilst there - I would love to go again with a smaller group. Perfect weekend getaway

The cottages have an excellent location in the village, the grounds are fantastic and the rooms were great. Everything is provided for and you can just turn up and enjoy your stay. They answered any questions we had and were very laid back about our stay. We would strongly recommend upper court for any type of group, if it's a family holiday or a birthday party. We would all come back again.

We stayed at the Coach House for a long weekend to celebrate my fiancé’s 30th birthday. The house is fantastic for a large group with well sized bedrooms, lots of bathrooms, a kitchen that caters for a large party and an excellent sized lounge with dining for over 20 people. The grounds are stunning as is the local village and it is a great spot to base yourself to go out and see the Cotswolds. Highly recommended

We decided to return to Upper Court after 20 years for another large family reunion. We enjoyed it 20 years ago and enjoyed it even more last weekend ! The accommodation was excellent, the location stunning and the welcome very warm. This time we were 3 generations and even the very young ones had a whale of a time. What's more, the weather was superb so thank you for a wonderful weekend !

We had a wonderful time at Upper Court. It was an excellent place for our large family gathering - we had 14 adults and 8 children of varying ages, so we booked The Stables, the Courtyard Cottage and the Coach House . There was no problem fitting us all in and sorting out who was sleeping where and being able to borrow cots and high chairs saved having to bring them. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves making the most of the pool, the play area and the boating on the lake. The bonus for the adults was the large lounge/dining area where the whole party could eat and in the evening we were all able to relax together as baby alarms worked between the properties.
Some of our party were unlucky to pick up a tummy bug and the owners were most helpful and accommodating over this.
Thanks for a wonderful weekend - we are looking to repeat it again another year.

There were 13 of us staying in the Coach House and the Stables for my daughters Hen weekend. We spent most of our time in the Coach House as there was plenty of room for all of us to eat drink and be merry.

The grounds and facilities were fantastic, although the pool was not very inviting and needed cleaning out.

We enjoyed the grounds and boating lake in the sunshine, it was as if we have the place to ourselves.

We ate in your pub, The Crown, twice which was really good and enjoyed the local walks and survived the climb up Bredon Hill to the Tower and back down to the lovely pub in Conderton. The views were stunning. All in all a very enjoyable weekend help by our stay at the Coach House and Stables

We stayed in all the holiday cottages at Upper Court over New Years eve and we had a lovely, comfortable stay. The properties are close to the village and nearby some nice walks. The Crown Inn pub is 5 minutes walk down the road and we had an excellent roast dinner there.

Some of the cottages have interesting bedroom configurations with 3 person and 4 person rooms and it was tricky to sort our group out but we got there in the end. There is a bed upstairs in the Dovecote that would only suit parents and children really, not 3 adults.

Thank you for a lovely stay.

I would recommend this to everyone, I arrange for a number of my friends, with their children to stay for the weekend for my 40th Birthday party and it exceeded my expectations. Beautiful house, with everything we could need and want. I prearranged for the pub to deliver food for us on the Saturday night so I didn't need to cook. Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant. I want to come back in the summer.

we stayed friday to monday in the large cottage at uppercourt, and found it to be very spacious and beautifully furnished our rooms were spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed. the grounds were very picturesque and were ideal for our party.
the food at the wedding reception was excellent, the only thing was we could have done with was a bit more lighting where they served the hog roast.
we travelled to broadway on the sunday, which was only a short distance and had a lovely meal at the swan restaurant.

we would definitely stay here again.

Really lovely cottages in a beautiful setting. Extensive grounds to explore with good facilities for children (playground, sports equipment etc). The cottage itself was a little tired but in an authentic countryside kind of way. Great if you have a very large party as you can book multiple cottages and make use of the two extensive dining tables (although I think it would be better to remove one and leave more space). We booked two cottages together for a group of 9 adults and 5 kids, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots to see and do in the local area but we mainly just stayed put and enjoyed the grounds!
