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.
