Wedding weekend

We stayed in Baye House for our youngest son’s wedding. We have a large family of all ages and this was absolutely the perfect house to stay. We had a wonderful welcome from Annie and immediately felt at home. The house and garden are gorgeous- if only it were ours! Just lovely.

Birthday celebration weekend

Host responded quickly to messages, it was my 60th birthday and nice touches by the host, a welcome card, bottle of fizz, bowl of fruit, biscuits etc Very quirky house, comfy beds There were 12 of us with some empty beds although could be queues for the showers if more people Lovely garden Excellent location, literally 2 minutes to the high street The house is old and so there are some sloping floors and few steps up and down in to rooms, although the stairs are very shallow. We had 2 guests, 1 in their 80s and 1 in 90s and they managed fine Would recommend

60th Birthday celebrations

This lovely old house and garden had many quirky features, including the upstairs plumbing It is very central but still has a large garden, bbq and parking. It is also close to cycle routes 1 to Dedham Vale and 51 to Wivenhoe. Anna had left many treats and a well stocked pantry. The kitchens were well equipped but it was difficult to find somethings. There were plenty of child friendly touches, indoors and out You need to be a cat lover as Hargie needs feeding and lots of love.
