Boutique Stay in Historic Countryside Cottage

Welcome to The Cottage at Upper Farm, your boutique countryside retreat! In the heart of our fields, The Cottage offers a charming and private retreat, ideal for couples, families, or group of friends seeking a peaceful & fun getaway. Located just 14 minutes from Silverstone and Towcester Racecourse, it’s the perfect base for motorsport fans or those simply looking for a countryside escape. With its own fully-equipped kitchen, spacious interiors, and exclusive access to our amenities. The space Spring and summer are when Upper Farm truly comes alive. Long golden days stretch across the fields, the heated pool becomes the heart of daily life, and breakfasts naturally drift outdoors. Families & friends spend hours moving between the orchard, the courtyard and the pool; children roam freely while adults linger over wine, books or sun-soaked conversation. It feels like a private countryside resort — intimate, warm and free. Upper Farm is perfect for families, multi-generational stays, groups of friends and celebrations — with indoor and outdoor spaces designed for both privacy and togetherness. Whether you're joining us for a luxury group stay, a family holiday, a wellness weekend, a stylish hen party, a foodie escape or a Silverstone adventure, Upper Farm offers a setting that feels relaxed, generous and quietly indulgent. Dine with us, self-cater, or blend both — your stay, your rhythm. And when winter arrives, the estate transforms into a glowing retreat. Candlelight, orchard views and fireside drinks create the backdrop for our Upper Farm Christmas Dining Experience — Champagne and canapés by the fire, followed by a three-course festive feast served in our candlelit dining space. A celebration of warmth, connection and tradition. 🎨 A LIVING GALLERY Art is part of Upper Farm’s identity. Original works by Damien Hirst, David Bailey, John Lennon, Picasso, Liu Bolin, David Yarrow, John Love, Mark Illuminati, Conrad Leach and more turn the house into a living, breathing gallery. In the gardens, sculptures by David Harber transform the orchard and lawns into an open-air exhibition. Nothing here is accidental; it's all curated. Guests often describe Upper Farm as a place that stays with them long after they’ve left. Whether you're here to reset, reconnect, celebrate or simply feel something different — this is luxury with soul. 🛏️ ACCOMMODATION The Farmhouse Cottage (Sleeps 2-4) A cosy, stylish retreat with everything designed for comfort and effortless living — now elevated with a brand-new bespoke Mackintosh kitchen, being installed in Jan/Feb, complete with next-generation appliances and a stunning dining space that seats 8–10 guests for long, leisurely meals. ✓ King-size bedroom ✓ Spacious bathroom with luxury toiletries ✓ Living room with two generous prince-size sofa beds (larger than single, smaller than double) ✓ Fully equipped kitchen ✓ Dining space (up to 4 people) ✓ Brand-new Mackintosh kitchen & dining area (8-10 people) with all new appliances (installing Jan/Feb) ✓ Utility room ✓ Brand-new Mackintosh utility room (installing Jan/Feb) 🎶 THE CLUBHOUSE & SOCIAL SPACES The Clubhouse is the beating heart of Upper Farm — part lounge, part listening room, part private members’ club.
