Court Farm in Somerset is a special place to stay for large group holidays in the South West; the beautifully renovated barns sleep 10 and have room for 4 extra guest beds at an additional charge each. Set around a large and private lawned courtyard with a hot tub and barbecue area, the accommodation is designed so that whilst there’s room to gather together for happy sociable times, you also have your own space when you need it. This is perfect for multi-generational family holidays and celebrations, for days away with friends and sophisticated hen weekends.
