The Pavilion has unrivalled views of the beautiful rolling countryside. Full-length French windows running the length of the property afford a 180 degree panorama of farmland and woods stretching five miles in every direction.

The interior has been refurbished to the highest standard by designer Susie Stocks, whose restful palette complements the landscape beyond. There is a veranda along its southern side, with a private decked area and lawn one end, and a patio the other. The fields beyond are 'Footpath Central' where it is not unusual to happen upon deer.

Accommodation overview: Wick Court, is like nothing else we have ever seen, in terms of a holiday property! This handsome and unique building is situated at the end of a mile long lane, tucked within a bend of the River Severn, has its own moat and is surrounded by 140 acres of stunning English countryside. It is believed that the Court has a history dating back to c1480, but of particular interest is the fact that there was a Royal visitor, Queen Elizabeth I, who stayed here when she was forced to leave nearby Berkeley Castle. Today the property is run as a charity (Farms for City Children) providing children with the opportunity to 'learn about where food comes from, the importance of caring for animals and the land and the value of working co-operatively as a team.' (quoted from the Farm for City Children website). The property is unusual but it is ideal if your party is large, plus all proceeds go back to the charity (see below) which is for an excellent cause.
