Courtyard Barn 5* rated in stunning rural location on Somerset, Dorset border.
Courtyard Barn at Lois Farm is perfect for holidays with your family or friends. If you are looking for relaxation and tranquillity in a peaceful rural setting overlooking farm land this lovely barn is for you. Situated in the beautiful Blackmore Vale on the border of Somerset and Dorset there are many well-known places to visit close by for all ages. We have horses and ponies with cattle and sheep in the fields during the summer. We are family friendly with baby equipment available to borrow, toys and a safe fenced garden. There is a large games room with table tennis and table football. In the colder months light the wood burner for cosy evenings in. The barn still retains many of the original features.
Lois Farm is located in the beautiful Blackmoor Vale on the border of Somerset and Dorset, accessed by a quiet country lane and surrounded by stunning countryside. We are only few miles south of Wincanton and ideally placed to visit many well-known attractions including Glastonbury, Longleat, Wookey Hole, Wells, Fleet Air Arm Museum, Hayes Motor Museum, Sherborne and many beautiful National Trust properties and gardens.
The barn has recently been fully refurbished and will comfortably sleep 6 (plus cots) in three double bedrooms one of which is downstairs. All bedrooms have zip and link beds so can be set-up as either super kings or twins. We use only fine Egyptian cotton for linen and provide towels and bathrobes.
The modern and well-equipped kitchen/diner has cream shaker-style units luxurious granite work surfaces and a slate floor. It is very well equipped including an American style fridge/freezer. The double doors open onto the patio with views over farmland.
The lovely south facing patio and garden overlooking fields is ideal for al-fresco meals, relaxing in the evening sunshine and watching the sunset. In the winter the wood burner makes the living room a warm and cosy place to be, we provide all the logs and everything you need to light the fire.
wonderful hosts, perfect accommodation, very quiet, great surroundings for sightseeing and walks, we will definitely be back next year

Heel vriendelijk ontvangen, zeer proper verblijf die top is uitgerust. Rustige omgeving. Vanuit de tuin heb je zicht op de wei met schapen. Het verblijf is maar een paar minuten verwijderd van het dorp met winkels en supermarkten. Je bent onmiddellijk op de autostrade voor tripjes in de omgeving.

Lovely, clean and well equipped property in great location.
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.

Very comfortable, clean accommodation.
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.

Charming, cozy and character abound
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.

Wonderful Holiday in a very beautiful area
Heerlijke vakantiewoning: ruim, gezellig ingericht, werkelijk ALLES is aanwezig! Prachtige tuin en uitzicht. Tanya en Chris zijn erg aardige beheerders: je kon hen alles vragen en waren erg attent met kleine dingen: een welkomstpakketje, tomaatjes uit eigen kas, extra handdoekenwissel, enz.
Loïs Barn ligt wel wat afgelegen maar binnen 5-10 minuten ben je in Wincanton met o.a. de Lidl en Morrison's. In de (wijde) omgeving is veel te zien en te beleven, b.v. de cathedralen van Wells en Salisbury, de prachtige landgoederen Sherborne Castel en Stourhead, de zuidkust (met o.a. Lulworth Cove en Durdle Door), Bath, Shaftesbury met Golden Hill, Cheddar Gorge, enz.
Heerlijke vakantie gehad: echt een aanrader als je van historie en het prachtige landschap van Engeland houdt

A little piece of heaven.
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.

Beautiful cottage
Courtyard Barn is a lovely place to stay. It has everything you could need, is very comfortable and beautifully clean. Fresh flowers and a welcome pack are an added bonus.
The outside space is peaceful and private. The local pub serves good food. Overall, what could be better!

5 Star***** Four Adults, Three Nights Stay, to return again one day.
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.

Great place to relax and unwind
The cottage is in a very quiet location backing onto fields with its own private garden.
Everything inside was immaculately clean and tidy, no sticky glasses or cutlery! The hosts were very friendly and helpful.
We had great weather and the barn really did look as good as it does in the photos.
Handy for the stunning Stourhead National Trust property.
Overall it was a great place to spend a relaxing weekend.
