The Dovecote

Excellent short stay My wife and I booked this for our 30th wedding anniversary, and it proved to be an inspired choice. A lovely place to stay, tranquil, great surroundings, and overall a perfect location.

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.

Enjoy a stay in this 14th-century dovecote for two by the lake (in the grounds of a Georgian manor) for some downtime to think or write, or a romantic weekend. Enrol on a pottery or printmaking course, blow the cobwebs away with a walk on Bredon hill and return for a pre-booked soak in the hot tub or sauna.

We had the best time at Upper Court. The team were incredibly welcoming and made every effort to ensure we had the most relaxing holiday. The setting is incredible, with stunning views over the lake and wonderful walks in the countryside on the doorstep. The perfect family escape.

What can I say. The setting, the grounds, the cottage. How can you describe such tranquil surrounding where the cottage makes you feel at one with nature. You can sit on the window cushion or in the four poster and watch as cygnets and moorhens and ducks float by outside. Walk around the grounds and spot the cheeky heron, a red kite flying over, or perhaps a wily fox on its rounds. The underfloor heating downstairs in The Dovecote made it so snug and there really is everything you need for a couple for a lovely weekend away.
