  Upton Gatehouse

  We really enjoyed our stay in this fantastic old property. The upper bedroom which has windows on all four sides was a joy. The children found it very exciting, especially the bath in the middle of the room, and we loved looking through the books. On the first floor there are the other bedroom and living room, which was well supplied with firewood, and in the evenings we were cosy in front of the fire. The other good thing was the two shower rooms located in one of the turrets. The underfloor heating was much appreciated, and it was fun being in the turret. We only used the actual dining room once, since it was inconvenient to run across to it in the cold weather, but it was a lovely room and we had the candles going to get the best atmosphere. The owner of the main house was very obliging and took us in to see the main hall - a fantastic old building. All in all it was a very enjoyable time and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet countryside setting.

  Beautiful house in lovely grounds. Comfortable beds, nice large towels, good soap. The heating was off when we got there including the Aga and the under floor heating in the kitchen. It was consequently freezing cold and luke warm showers. Messaged guest homes who eventually got it sorted the night before we left and wouldn’t let us stay a few hours longer for free on check out day to make up for it and no apologies for the inconvenience. We had to rely on the woodburner and asking one of our group to bring blankets. When the heating did go on the day before we left, it came on at 530am so woke us up. There were also no instructions of how to get through electric gate so we couldn’t gain access for a while when we first got there. The toilet in by the kitchen was dirty beneath the wooden bench so didn’t want to use it. There was a very large parasol open in the kitchen on arrival presumably drying out but it was quite difficult to put away.

  Heaven!

  This is the perfect getaway! We visited a few weeks ago (beginning of May) and we enjoyed every second of our stay. Not only the place is dog friendly but it’s a dogs heaven (humans as well). You enjoy a spacious garden, featuring beautiful trees and a small stunning church. The sensation of relaxation strikes you immediately once you enter the premises. The whole time, you basically feel like you live in a fairy tale - just enjoying wine or coffee in the garden is unmatched. The house is stunning, very clean and equipped with anything you might dream of. The hosts are unbelievably kind and welcoming, available for any questions or issues, and even though you wouldn’t want to leave, nearby you can find stunning locations (such as Much Wenlock - don’t miss Wenlock Priory and the stunning Bodenham Arboretum). Don’t second guess, this is a “must destination”.
