About us

Upper Rectory Farm

Upper Rectory Farm is a working arable farm set in 200 acres of cornfields on the edge of the National Forest in Leicestershire. The original granaries, stabling and cowsheds were cleverly converted into holiday cottages by Jean and David back in 1999. They surround three pretty courtyards, the perfect space to relax with family, friends or colleagues whilst enjoying panoramic views across Leicestershire’s idyllic countryside.
