Accommodation at Upton Cressett Hall

Our three holiday properties in the grounds  – The Gatehouse, The Moat House and The Coach House – can accommodate groups of up to 12-14 guests if the Great Chamber private wing is used in the Hall.  Or the properties can be taken individually for romantic escapes for couples or small family groups. 7 double rooms all ensuite! (we can also add cots and children’s beds if needed.

The luxury self-contained properties offer a unique opportunity to ‘holiday in history’ and all are within 100 yards of each other. They can be taken together for special group stays, with a chef and maid service, or on a self-catering basis.  Catered dinners for up to 24 guests can be arranged in the Great Hall dining room whose giant medieval fireplace and painted gilt ceiling was described by Simon Jenkins as fit for a royal palace.
