Upton House, though modest in size, echoes the elegance of late 18th Century and early 19th Century Britain. It forms the focal point of the Upton estate (which once extended to a thousand acres) and is now the centre piece of Poole’s only Country Park. The House was presented to Poole Council in 1957 and from 1961 to 1969 the House was occupied by Carol Hohenzollern, Prince of Romania. Upton House is now used for conferences, training courses, seminars, meetings, team building days, dinners, buffets, receptions and exhibitions.
