"Having so much enjoyed our stay for the wedding of Stephen and Fiona in July - all our guests professed it to have been the very best wedding celebration they had experienced - we look forward to coming to Upper Court for Christmas and to meeting you again."  Sean and Eleanor O'Mahony, September 11

“We had a wonderful weekend at Upper Court when David and Victoria were married, and you did so much to make it very memorable.  We enjoyed getting to know you, and Auriol and Kallum, and we feel we have made new friends.  Upper Court is a beautiful setting and everyone was pleased with their accommodation. We will certainly recommend it, and you, to other people.  Thank you again for all you did to make the wedding such a very special time.”

"Just wanted to say thanks so much for a wonderful weekend at the Coach House last week. All of the girls in our hen party had a fabulous time and thought the house was beautiful. We really appreciated the attention to detail - particularly the fresh flowers in the house on our arrival. I will certainly recommend Upper Court to any of my friends. Thanks again for making us really welcome."

"Thank you for a truly restful and heavenly stay in the Dovecote....breakfasts in the sunshine and a really comfortable bed with fresh linen sheets - bliss."
Lucy and Pete, The Dovecote, April 2010

"Hello all at Upper Court. Well, what can I say? Thank you so much for a picture perfect, welcoming and homely weekend. I can't describe Upper Court as anything less than a treasure. A place to dream and relax with absolutely no pressure where you can just enjoy being away as a family. Little Amelia hasn't stopped raving about her holiday. We enjoyed the privacy of being able to teach her to swim under cover, go nature spotting and blackberry picking just beyond the play area and making friends with the cygnets and the chickens (and the hedgehog) that we found roaming around the grounds. We met Auriel and Callum on Sunday and what a little charmer he is. Amelia took fossils home to show her friends in her new school and we are sure that Callum we be an absolute superstar when he begins his new term too. We have already decided that we are going to save and try and come back for every season as we can't see how anywhere else could provide more but in such an unpretentious atmosphere. Send my love to Auriel, I thought she was fab and she made me smile lots so really hope she can teach me some art one day."

"Bill and Diana, thank you for being wonderful hosts, for helping with ideas and directions. For loaning wellies to Susan and helping Roy with laundry! We love your Garden Flat and gardens! Yesterday we walked for seven hours to and from Bredon Hill."

"Bill and Diana, thank you so much for the use of your wonderful cottage. It's been an absolutely lovely couple of days and I've completely fallen in love with Kemerton. Thanks for everything and hope to see you again sometime. Happy New Year!"

"Thank you very much for having us to stay at The Dovecote over the Easter weekend. The cottage was perfect and in between the sleet and snow we managed to have a great meal at The Crown as well as a good walk up Bredon Hill. We would love to return and have recommended your properties to all our friends so I hope they will be dropping in soon!"
Rosie Swan, March 2008

"We have loved staying here and as veteran Premier Cottage people who have stayed in many of the cottages over the country we have decided Upper Court is definitely the best! The Crown in Kemerton was great and the owners very welcoming."
