ABOUT US

Who Are We?

We are a husband and wife team - James Meyer and Linda Camp - who have made a career out of our love of doing up neglected houses in the countryside.

What’s Our Story?

Originally from London - where James was an advertising photographer and I had a business in corporate relocation - we moved out to the Cotswolds to allow our son to grow up with freedom and fresh air.

We bought a small cottage, outgrew it but could not bear to sell and began renting it as a holiday home for others to enjoy the environment and surroundings that we had created. It snowballed from there. We ended up specialising in large group stays and wanted to develop that further. The Cotswolds had become a bit too urban for our taste so we looked further afield and we discovered Herefordshire by accident. And fell in love with its beauty and the restorative tranquility of its countryside.

We bought Barton Court, very dilapidated, with the aim of restoring it to become a place where people can escape and reconnect with each other and with the land. It has been our pleasure and delight to see our concept come to fruition: a true labour of love.

BEFORE

Pretty hands on, we run the estate with a small team of wonderful helpers.

We look forward to welcoming you to share, with us, the magic that is Barton Court.
