Great facilities, just as described. Helpful owner on site - offers advice if needed but allows you to just get on with your holiday, if you prefer.
Definitely would book return visit.
Even when it was cold the pool was super warm. House was very nice and cozy, and the tennis court was good fun too!
Sally was very accommodating and even sent my friendâs phone in the mail when
we accidentally left it!
We had a fantastic break away at The Courtyard. The teenagers loved the pool, the dog loved the huge garden and field, and we all appreciated the very comfy beds. Plenty of space for our group of 9 with lots of outside seating to soak up the sunshine and enjoy the stunning garden. Weâve already started talking about making a return booking!
This house was more perfect than we could have imagined for a uni friend get together. Sally (our host) was fabulous, had amazing communication, check in was simple, and we were completely left to enjoy the property. Oh also the freshly baked goods and snacks from family run companies were such a nice touch. The pool was great, the grounds are stunning, and the pub is a very short walk away. What more can you ask for?
The property had run
We had a wonderful stay, Sally was very welcoming and caring host. it was in a beautiful location and the gardens were lovely. The house was extremely comfortable and very well thought through with plenty of room to sit comfortably in the living room and dining room for all 8 of us together. It was also a welcome benefit that there more than 8 of many of the kitchen items, so we didnât need to wash up things every time we used them and could just wait and put the dishwasher on! We all felt this was one of the best properties we had stayed in, the quality of everything was very high and clearly maintained (for example lovely soft white fluffy towels) and many little extra details had been thought of, we would definitely come again and thoroughly recommend to others.
We had a wonderful long weekend!
The rooms, (all with ensuite bathrooms), were the perfect set-up for us with quality linen and very comfy beds. The dining room and living room were also a great size and very comfortable. The kitchen is a galley style - quite compact - which takes getting used to but it's very well equipped and was fine for the time we were there. We appreciated having a village shop a short walk away and an excellent gastro pub a 20 minute walk away.
We were delighted with the property - Sally and John were helpful and even left us a few welcome treats which were delicious! The grounds are a highlight - we loved playing tennis and croquet and going for a swim (even in October).
It was everything we'd hoped! Highly recommend.
I cannot say enough amazing things about our wonderful trip to The Courtyard last week. We had the BEST time! I booked this trip for our annual family Easter trip. It was myself, husband and step daughter (5yo), my parents, my sister and BIL and family dogs. The property was absolutely perfect for our needs. On arrival and the miserable weather, Sally was there to welcome us to her beautiful home. The property was absolutely spotless and the most lovely welcome gifts of homemade cake and bread, Prosecco and crisps made a fabulous welcome. For a self catering property, it was so well equipped with essentials that we didnât expect. The coffee machine and pods were the ultimate morning treat! Sallyâs garden is just out of this world, so well manicured yet welcoming for humans and dogs at the same time. We were so lucky to be able to enjoy the views, pool and tennis court/table tennis during our stay, mainly for our Family Easter Olympics! Sally and family were so welcoming and on hand to answer any questions on the lead up to our stay, yet made the property perfectly private whilst we were there. We are already planning our return trip to such a beautiful part of the country. Thank you again Sally and we really hope to meet you again soon!
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The pool was amazing and warm for our kids to swim in and the apple tree was in full bloom. Sally was a wonderful host and greeted us with delicious treats. We loved our weekend at the cottage and would definitely return!
What a wonderful place.
Absolutely catered for all of us. Swimming,Croquet,Table Tennis, Tennis Court. Barbeque.
Weather was kind which helped.
Superb.
The property was absolutely lovely. It was comfortable and well maintained for 8 adults and 2 infants.
We loved our days playing tennis and swimming. Sally is an excellent host and checked we had all we needed. The house is surprisingly private and we felt like we had it all to ourselves.
We also loved the fresh raspberries from the garden.
It was a fantastic week.
We had a lovely holiday at this property. The gardens are beautiful. The children spent most of their time in the pool, which was kept at a lovely temperature the children loved it. The accommodation was comfortable and spacious. We loved our holiday and would love to go back again.
Beautiful grounds, comfortable accommodation and swimming pool.
Couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. The grounds and adjacent field made for a beautiful setting and the swimming pool was super! Hosts, Sally and John, made us feel very welcome. We all had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday and hope to return soon.
Beautiful grounds with a sensible distribution of rooms to accommodate the required number of guests. For families there is a large dining room that is suitable for few generations of families to gather. Owner is extremely helpful and at the same time constructive to an extreme. Pool is warm and very welcoming assuming you get a nice English day.
We had a lovely week at The Courtyard, celebrating my fatherâs 80th birthday. Sally was very welcoming and made us a cake and gave us a bottle of Prosecco. The property had everything you needed and the garden was beautiful with lots to entertain the teenagers. Itâs a magical place and I would recommend it to anyone!
Sally was a fantastic host, preparing freshly baked bread, cake, crisps and prosecco on arrival! Sally also allowed us to have an early check in and late check out. The property was beautiful, exactly as the photos, lovely heated pool and amazing garden. We had a really wonderful stay and made our friends hen do very special, thank you so much!
We have just got back from a fantastic weekend at Holmby House. The house was perfect, the rooms were great, the communal areas were big enough that you didn't feel cramped, which was great as there were 12 adults on the first night.
Everything was provided and had been thought of.
The grounds of the property are gorgeous, the pool was so warm it was amazing. The weather wasn't that greag, it was cloudy all day and around 17 degrees but we still managed to enjoy the pool as it was heated so well!
Sally was also great at communicating and was very friendly and helpful.
We would love to return to the property one day.
Thank you so much for a brilliant weekend!
My friends and I had the most wonderful time here and Sally and Husband were so accommodating. We feel the house is even better than advertised with the gardens coming up trumps we were able to enjoy these and the pool with the arouma of honeysuckle around us. The living area is great for a bigger group and they had enough loungers to accommodate us all. Thank you Sally& Husband, 2nd time lucky, we're so glad we found your house, you helped give my best friend the most brilliant send off for her marriage, jess & Co. xxxx
Lovely house in countryside perfect for weekend away with friends
We had a fantastic weekend - lots of social space and big dining area. Great that all rooms are ensuite. Only issue was communication before the stay as the host did not have access to her account and so was not replying. When we were there the host was really helpful and lovely!
