Guests have the run of the 15 acres of garden and grounds which centre around the beautiful 2 acre lake, a wilderness that is home to a variety of wildfowl, swans, ducks and geese that all love to be fed! Also an ideal place for a romantic picnic or to take the boat out - a children’s paradise. The millstream and watermill (now ruin) are mentioned in Doomsday Book (1086) and the Dovecote and Watermill Cottage overlook the lake.
Terrific for just two or for a big family reunion. The same comfortable stylish feel applies to all 5 properties around the splendid Cotswold Georgian Manor - Upper Court. All benefit from the lake, grounds and lovely gardens. The Herford’s love antiques and their good taste with genuine understanding of what’s needed (they’ve been welcoming guests for 31 years), make for a happy experience. The Dovecote, a romantic hideaway for 2, overlooks the lake. Stables, Courtyard and Coach House can seat 24 (in Coach House) and can be interconnected for an extended party.
Watermill overlooks the lake, and is an early 18th century gem. The Manor is ideal for a fairytale wedding - a perfect setting for those treasured wedding photographs, Civil Wedding Ceremony License. Also for Corporate entertaining and training. Recommended by the Daily Telegraph as an ideal hen party venue. Our chef (ex Claridges Hotel) will cater for all tastes, diets and occasions.
Kemerton is one of several villages renowned for their beauty, on the foot of Bredon Hill (famed for A E Houseman’s poem of that name.)

The hill goes up to 1,000 feet with remains of an Iron Age fort at the top, with views of The Malvern and Cotswold hills and on a clear day you can see 5 counties.
