"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, overlooking 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 20 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 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".
