KEMERTON
MANOR & COTTAGES
near Tewkesbury, The Cotswolds
 
Archway entrance to the Georgian Manor at Upper Court - Kemerton, near Tewkesbury, The Cotswolds

This is a lovingly maintained estate with an outstanding Georgian manor house, lovely cottages and gorgeous gardens.   The friendly and helpful owners work hard to provide the perfect cottage for your private getaway or a large celebration.

Each cottage has been carefully renovated.  One of the owners is an antiques dealer and the cottages have benefited from her keen eye and good taste.
 

For special events, the entire property can accommodate 36 people.

The estate is located in one of the Cotswolds' prettiest areas, Bredon Hill in the Vale of Evesham.  Kemerton village is small- there is only a village shop and a pub (that serves great food), but Kemerton is very convenient for touring all of the Cotswolds.
 


WATERMILL COTTAGE
 Accommodates 10
 5 bedrooms
 3 bathrooms

Watermill Cottage is terrific.  It is separate from the manor house, down a little lane that leads to the lake and the watermill ruin.  Built in 1760 and renovated in 2000, it is has a small private garden and a patio with a wonderful views of the lake.   This spacious cottage has much character and it is comfortable and sophisticated.  A bit removed from the manor house and the other cottages, the Watermill feels private and secluded.

View of the Georgian Mansion across Upper Court's private lake. THE ESTATE GROUNDS

The gardens are beautiful.  There are many specimen trees and plants and deep borders that change with the seasons.  The lake is home to swans, heron, ducks,  geese and other waterfowl.  There is a dovecote and a Doomsday watermill dating from 1086.  The village church, with its ancient graveyard, is next door.
 


The outdoor pool, heated in July and August, is open during daylight hours with a quiet time set aside each mid-day for elderly or "shy" guests to enjoy the pool in relative quiet.  There is an all-weather tennis court, croquet, table tennis and a billiard room (adults only, please).
