Lovely amenities and a very friendly host, with a beautiful view.

Great facilities, we did a bbq by the pool and played plenty of tennis and table tennis, overall had a great time over the 2 nights! Well worth every penny.Kitchen is a bit small but most of the time was spent in the living room and outside areas anyway so didn’t make any difference in the end. Sally was really helpful and answered all questions promptly.She had given us a gift basket full of goodies and even baked us a cake!

The Courtyard at Holmby House was the perfect location for our family (plus one dog). The accommodation was beautiful, spotless, comfortable and extremely well equipped. The gardens are magnificent, with a lovely heated pool and a fabulous tennus court.

A super house with fantastic facilities. The pool was lovely and warm so enjoyable even when the sun wasn’t shining. We had fun on the tennis court which is set in the most beautiful and well kept garden. A great base for exploring the area by car or foot. Had some great meals out at the Wykham Arms, Hook Norton brewery, The George at Brailes and the The Stags Head which are all fairly close by. A big thank you to Sally. We would definitely recommend and love to come again!

What an amazing stay we had at the incredible Holmby property. After travel woes/canceled flight from the US to the UK, and heading straight to the Cotswolds for our stay quite word out, Sally and her husband went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of - including calling ahead to ensure a oval restaurant they recommended that first (tired) night was still open and could accommodate our group and leaving us with a few essential food/drink items.The property itself is just incredible. Photos don’t do it justice. It’s clear they take great care for their property and guests. Plenty of space for our 8 person group. The kids enjoyed the pool and tennis/sport court. Location is perfect for exploring all around the Cotswolds (and we went up into Coventry). We only wish we could have stayed longer than 4 nights!! We hope to be back in the future.

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 didn’t 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.

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 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. We’ve already started talking about making a return booking!

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 didn’t expect. The coffee machine and pods were the ultimate morning treat! Sally’s 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!

Amazing Weekend!

Amazing Weekend!

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

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!

We stayed at The Courtyard for a Birthday weekend as a group of 12. The accommodation was lovely - clean and well maintained with plenty of space for all of us. The living and dining areas were lovely spaces for us all to come together as well. The only downside was that it was close to other properties so we had to mindful of the noise late in to the night considering we did ask about noise when placing the booking. Would visit again without a doubt, maybe during the summer so we could take full advantage of the swimming pool, tennis courts and garden area.

Our stay at The Courtyard was perfect for our holiday needs. The layout of the house gave everyone their privacy. Several areas within the gardens had outside seating and tables to enjoy relaxing time together. Children enjoyed the swimming pool every day,even the rain and cool winds didn't put them off. The tennis court was good fun. Situated at the lower end of the garden surrounded by trees and shrubbery - perfect. A big thank you to Sally who made us very welcome. The goodies left for us to enjoy were fabulous. The cake especially was amazing. We will deffinitely be back next year.

We hired the Courtyard and Holmby House for my husband and his twin brother's 40th birthday. We stayed with our families, with children ranging from 3-12. The property was spotless and Sally had thought of everything. We had the most wonderful welcome prosecco and fresh home made bread and crisps. The grounds were breathtaking and the trees and flowers were stunning. The kids favourite parts were definitely the swimming pool and tennis court. This is such a hidden treasure in a beautiful, rural Cotswold setting. The loveliest place we had stayed. Sally was always on hand if we needed anything and an amazing host.

We visited for a long weekend in October. The property gardens are amazing and expansive with so many places to roam. The hosts were super welcoming and had the heat turned on, treats and all the amenities you would expect at a hotel. We played tennis, swam in the heated pool, played croquet and table tennis. It was a short drive to many picturesque towns and activities like clay shooting, bird flying experiences and country walks.

We had the best weekend at Sally’s beautiful home. Sally was extremely helpful and even allowed us an early check in and a later checkout. On arrival she had laid out some fresh bread and a baked cake, and the house, garden and pool area was beautiful and clean. I would highly recommend staying here for any sort of holiday, whether a stay with friends or family. I wish we could have stayed longer to explore the area more. If I could give more that 5 stars I would!!

Wonderful setting and accommodation

Wonderful setting and accommodation

The property looks great in the listing and it’s even better in reality. We were blessed with hot and sunny weather so were able to get maximum enjoyment from the fabulous and large garden, pool, tennis and croquet courts. The setting is stunning and we commented that we could have been in Tuscany when sitting by the pool! The house is very nicely furnished and presented and the rooms are spacious - plenty of room in bedrooms, sitting room and dining area. Another plus was patio areas both sides of the house to get sun morning and evening and an additional dining area by the pool. Dogs need prior agreement with owner and there’s an additional charge - but this isn’t mentioned on the website hence the 4 stars for accuracy of online info. Otherwise perfect in every way.

The whole point of a holiday rental is finding somewhere beautiful and different, but also comfortable and relaxing to stay in. The Courtyard is the best place we've visited in for a long time. A lot of that succes is due to the efforts of Sally, the owner. The gardens are beautiful, the setting of the pool glorious and the house itself well-equipped and comfortable. We had a fab week....thank you.P.S. Our daughter is a wheelchair user and with a portable ramp the house is very accessible.
