"Filled
with light and joy, this place soothes the soul"
"This house
is blessed with a personal, friendly and relaxed
atmosphere that touches the heart of every guest". Visitors'
Book
Uplands House is a delightful place, in an area of outstanding
natural beauty. It stands in a beautiful garden, amidst lush
parkland planted with ancient majestic trees, and it is hidden
away down a long drive in the glorious Warwickshire countryside.
We are only about 25 minutes by car from Moreton in Marsh, Stratford
on Avon, and Warwick Castle, and this is a great base from which
to explore and discover the Cotswolds. Everything you will want
to see is within easy driving distance.
We try to provide
the very best of English country house hospitality. You will
enjoy an enthusiastic welcome, beautifully furnished comfortable
rooms, and lovely views over the garden and parklands. We will
provide tasty organic produce, great cooking, a surprisingly
good wine list, log fires, and every comfort in relaxing and
peaceful surroundings. Here you will find kindness, you will
be cherished, and you will be able to relax. Wireless internet
is provided, but please bring your own laptops.
Uplands is a special
place to stay because of the peace and tranquility which pervades
everything. Poppy and Graham work together to give their guests
the best possible time. They love meeting people, and chatting
to them, and encourage them to have dinner at home. Poppy is
a picture restorer, and Graham is an engineer and has recently
retired from teaching at King's College, London. He now runs
a business making flight data recorders for gliders. Both have
been Olympic fencers, and are still active on the veteran circuit.
After years of charity fundraising and organizing the catering
for countless events Poppy has won many accolades for her creative
cooking, and takes great pleasure in her cuisine. She likes
to greet the guests, and give them a proper old fashioned tea,
and if they like, dinner too. Graham's practical skills are
invaluable in keeping everything running smoothly.
Poppy grew up at
Barton House, in Barton-on-the-Heath, not far from Uplands,
so has plenty of detailed local knowledge. She and Graham delight
in helping guests plan their days, and will happily assist with
organising garden tours, bike hire, riding, a game of tennis,
walks in the vicinity, booking restaurants or theatre tickets,
or downloading opening times of the many places to visit in
the Cotswolds listed on this website under "Attractions".
