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

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.

We booked the house for a family get together to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday and as there were 9 adults and 5 children the size of the house and the layout was perfect for us would recommend it to others .II
