Setting & local area Courtyard Cottage is part of an 16th century former farmhouse. The cottage is found in the east wing of Stepps House - with the owners living in another part of the house. Situated in the heart of Broadway, a quiet Somerset village which is surrounded by fields and woods that are accessible on foot and bicycle through the myriad of local country lanes and footpaths.
Nearby there are several pubs, two within a few minutes walking distance The Bell Inn, Broadway and The Five Dials at Horton. Others such as The Lord Poulett are a little further afield and well worth a visit.
Barrington House, a National Trust house with gardens open to the public, is nearby, as is Forde Abbey and Montecute House
There are several local cider producers whose orchards and presses are worth seeing, Perry's Cider in Dowlish Wake being one, and Julian Temperley's cider and cider brandy distillery over at Burrow Hill another.
A little further away the beach at Lyme Regis and walks along the Jurassic coastline are 40mins or so to the South
Guest access
The house is accessed just off the A303 and has off road private parking for 2 cars Keys left for you in a key safe. The owners are also available to help.

The cottage is tastefully decorated everything we wanted and more. The village location was tranquil. We attended a family wedding nearby and this was the ideal place to stay. Nothing was to much trouble Glenda ensured our stay was enjoyable giving us all the information we needed prior to our stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
My wife and two young children (12 and 9) loved our stay at Glenda's property in Broadway. The cottage and grounds are beautiful and kept in fantastic condition. We loved all of the character of the cottage, the finishes were beautiful as was the courtyard and garden out back. Glenda was extremely helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend this property to others and we would certainly love to stay there again some day!

Glenda’s cottage is beautifully decorated and very clean and comfortable. It’s in a small village and has 2 great pubs nearby. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Car parking is off street.Highly recommend.
We had originally intended to book for a longer stay, but unfortunately the days we wanted were already booked up.
Despite this we had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The accommodation was very comfortable, modern and fully equipped.
The owner met us on arrival and when we left and was most accommodating and helpful.
Nicely finished cottage. Lovely hospitable hosts. Cute village. Great pizza at pub close by. Nice walks nearby. Sea side about 30min drive. Golf courses within 15min. Perfect!
I can't recommend Courtyard cottage enough. the comfiest beds, softest linen, beautifully decorated, fabulous shower. Nothing was missed, fresh cut flowers from the garden on the table on our arrival. So cosy. walking distance to village shop and delicious food in the local pub, also walking distance. utter tranquility, just wonderful birdsong to listen to. Perfection, thank you Glenda.

A beautiful cottage very stylishly decorated and appointed. A great location with lots to do locally as well as being within easy reach of the coast and Exmoor. Would definitely return.
Beautifully appointed premium cottage.. finished to a high standard and well equipped. In a lovely little village with picture book thatched cottages and gardens - reminiscent of a fairy tale!
Plenty to see in and do in the local area.
The hosts were friendly - live on site and available if necessary but keep themselves to themselves.
Would definitely revisit and highly recommend.
