Summary: The barn was spotlessly clean, well presented and well equipped, and all set in a lovely quiet rural location, but close to amenities if needed.Our hosts were friendly and available, but not over bearing, and always took the time to say hello and even invited us to look around their farm, which was fantastic as it was lambing season during our stay.The location.is great for exploring Somerset or Dorset, but you would need a car if wanting to get out and about.Would definitely recommend and we would definitely consider a return visit if we were that way again.

Summary: Very clean and comfy. Well equipped. The hosts Tanya and Chris were delightful. When weather was poor they took a grocery order for us and drove into town to shop. Who does that? Wonderful stay.

Summary: This is truly a gem of a property. This is a great place to explore the English countryside from. Communication was impeccable. The description and pictures were spot on. The place is easily found on Google maps and while it should be obvious, you'll need your own transportation. You're away from it all while being right in the middle as well. Meeting the farm animals was the cherry on the top. I hope we can find our way back to the countryside and if we did, we'd return here in a heartbeat.

Summary: Everything was absolutely perfect. I cannot fault anything at all. Our hosts, Tanya and Chris were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them. Excellent central location for many tourist attractions within an hour away. The cottage was bright and beautifully decorated. Very peaceful with good walking to. We would definately go back and recommend it. Nice dark skies if you like looking at the stars. The horses were an added treat.

Summary: We decided to have a long weekend away Friday to Monday. Wanted no more than a couple of hours drive from home, a barn conversion, wood burner, peace and quiet, and somewhere scenic. Found Courtyard Barn, it has the aforementioned, and more. The drive was pretty, and straightforward, the barn has the scenery, and is so very peaceful. Set within Lois Farm. It has privacy and lovely views at the back of the property over fields and open skies. On arrival, Tanya greeted us and kindly gave us a tour. It felt so homely, super clean, light & bright, fresh flowers were a nice touch, beautifully furnished with three spacious bedrooms two bathrooms. Our trip was to give my folks a change of scenery, and to celebrate mums 75th birthday. I enjoyed the kitchen/diner as a room, super views and sunsets, preparing & cooking supper with every kitchen utensil and gadget to hand. The radio was most welcome too, Thank you. Being here in January, we made good use of the wood burning stove and it was easy to get going and kept our toes toastie. I had not realised until leaving on the Monday, how relaxed I felt. Personally I had slept so soundly, the beds just perfect in size, the quality bed linen, and the peaceful location. The owners Tanya and Chris have made this home from home, they are friendly, helpful and thoughtful. We drove away feeling somewhat sad, as we all said that we could have stayed longer and that we would like to return, perhaps in the warmer weather. It is worthy of its 5 stars and it has been decorated and furnished to a high standard. The four of us had a very enjoyable and most memorable stay.
