This was our third stay but first in the summer. So amazing to be able to make full use of the outside space and of course the POOL! Usual great communication, clean house and everything you could need for a fab break!

We had such a wonderful time, thank you. The children thoroughly enjoyed a swimming gala they created in the pool. The fresh fruit from the garden each morning was an absolute treat! Very generous use of equipment too.

We wanted a lifetime family memorable holiday and we more than got one by choosing Byecross for our weeks stay. The house is marvellous and the faculties where more than adequate to keep the 8 of us occupied. Additionally add to the plus list the pleasures of the isle of wight.

Lovely house with lots to do, we ended up not even leaving the house some days as the kids just wanted to play tennis or jump in the pool! Very relaxing setting, will hopefully return soon. Thanks

Homely, spacious, lots to do (even in the rain and without the use of pool). Has a lovely feel. Fully realise pets are allowed and a couple of us got 'itchy' in the living room, but that's our fault as we knew the house accepted pets. We've stayed in LOADS of places Isle of Wight and this is right up there with the best!

Absolute gem of a holiday house. Was a real home from home and felt very lucky to have enjoyed a long weekend here with friends. The garden was amazing, house was very well equipped and rooms were spacious and comfortable. Thank you!

We were delighted to be able to stay at Byecross for Christmas having stayed a couple of years ago and loved it. The house was nicely (Christmas) decorated for us which was a lovely touch. We were a large group so it was great having lots of space to spread out over the hectic few days we had! Christmas dinner wasn’t an issue with the Aga once we got used to it. The kids all loved the activities including lots of tennis and particularly table tennis competitions. Next time we would love to come in the summer so we can finally make use of the pool! Thanks again for fab break.

We were 3 families with bunch of teenagers.....totalling 11 - so needed lots of space and different options. The house was brilliant for us, all as described, lots of space and all very clean and comfortable. It was v wet and v windy during our stay so couldn't enjoy the grounds quite as much as we hoped but did make use of the games shed and tennis court, and wellingtons!!! walking the coats path etc. Spotted a red squirrel too! The hosts are very attentive and very generous in the way they shared their house. A very positive experience and would definitely recommend and hope to return! (Thankyou so much!)
10.0 / 10.0
Such a wonderful relaxed house. And such kind owners. Vast grounds which the grandchildren absolutely loved, including a tennis court! Masses of games which the owners generously shared - a real home from home. Everything about the house was perfect for a family stay. There is a wonderful ‘secret’ and very natural beach a few minutes walk away through woods which really caught the children’s imagination! Yarmouth is lovely - tiny but with lots of character. All the family fell in love with the house and want to return.

The perfect place for 3 generations of family to meet up. There was something for everyone to keep us entertained. We just wish we had longer. Hopefully we will visit again when the sun is shining :)

We enjoyed an incredible last minute stay - wish we could’ve stayed for longer. The house is a wonderful family home, thank you to Barry & Elizabeth for sharing it with us. The tennis court, pool, trampoline and playground were well used, as was the board game cupboard and lovely bookshelves!! Beautiful views of the garden from all of the windows, incredible apple and pear trees too. The path to the beach was lovely & we didn’t have to share the beach with anyone, absolutely heaven! We hope to be back one day soon, it was a family holiday of dreams - thank you.

A beautiful home and gardens that were so welcoming.
The location was stunning and the facilities were above and beyond our expectations.
The pool was warm and we swam twice a day, the grandchildren loved it!
We’ve made such happy memories and we very much hope to return to Byecross very soon. Thank you for accommodating us x

We have just returned from a week’s stay at this property - having stayed before we knew what an amazing place it is, with so many activities to do on site - really enjoyed the pool.
Hope to return again.

This house is huge!
Loads of room for 6 adults, 5 kids and 2 dogs.
The gardens are beautiful with lovely views.
Would love to stay here again, maybe in the summer when we could use the pool too.
We had a wonderful time!

Plenty of space with everything you need for a family break, lovely house and spacious grounds.....nice part of the island and close to lots of great attractions ...just need to be creative and organised with cooking for 12 with an Aga!

Thank you so much for a beautiful stay. We enjoyed everything about the property! The inside space was perfect for hosting a big family Christmas. And the outside space was perfectly secured for the dogs to enjoy some freedom. The location is great too for a walk into Yarmouth for a Christmas day trip to the pub. The information provided before arriving made every super smooth, and the house was beyond expectations on arrival. We look forward to coming back again!

We visited for the second year in a row with our large extended family, and can genuinely say that it’s the best house we’ve rented. The grounds are amazing, with an abundance of space, a lovely warm pool, tennis court, woods to play in etc etc. The helpfulness and generosity of the hosts also really makes the stay special. We will definitely be back.

It was exactly as the pictures show. We had perfect weather and were able to use the pool , the tennis court and everything else on offer. It is truly the most brilliant house for having quality family time. We would all love to visit again and explore more of the Island

EXCEPTIONAL
We couldn’t be happier with our mini break at Byecross. Everything was as described, if not better. The house is homely and extremely well equipped. Outside, the grounds and pool are amazing. So much to do, tennis , table tennis, trampoline, play equipment & the icing on the cake is the fantastic swimming pool with a slide, which the children were in 4 times a day! Huge beautiful grounds with mown pathways through wild grasses. Eating under a pergola wrapped with grape vines with room to seat 10 easily. This really is a special place to stay.
Elizabeth & Barry called on our day of arrival with one or two pointers which we found really useful, especially about making toast on the aga.
Thank you for allowing us to use your home and we will be back.

Wonderful retreat, stunning gardens
We enjoyed four fabulous days at this lovely property, enjoying the stunning gardens and local nature. The hosts were unerringly prompt in communication, friendly and helpful. The children (aged 8-13) all had a blast playing, jumping on the trampoline and swimming in the warm, relaxing pool. We'd love to stay there again and are so grateful to have had this special place to explore the amazing Isle of Wight together.

Group Family Holiday
The outside facilities and the sheer size of the well kept gardens were second to none. The house itself was ideally located with plenty of privacy.
We appreciate that this was a family home to which we were given complete access, and on a more detailed basis felt that additional mirrors and wardrobe space would have been useful as would the provision of a toaster and microwave and a bit of general tlc.
Nonetheless the property afforded us a wonderful family holiday.

Perfect place for a family celebration
The house is everything you expect and more. I lost count of how many times we said how absolutely wonderful it was. We played tennis, rode bikes, walked in mud, played games - I even played piano for the first time in 30 years! If you are thinking of booking this house, don’t hesitate, book it while you can. Thank you Barry & Elizabeth for the use of this fantastic home

Wonderful New Year Break!
A really fantastic trip. The pictures don’t do the interior justice, really spacious and comfortable, the grounds were perfect for our kids to charge about.

Family Xmas get together
Beautiful property in a fantastic location that was perfect for 12 of us to spend Christmas together along with our 2 dogs.
Initial communication was excellent. The property is obviously utilised as a second home as when we arrived it instantly felt like home. The owner phoned on our first night to welcome us and couldn’t have been more welcoming.
We would love to come back in the summer and make more use of the outside, the pool and the bikes etc.
All the kids said ‘Best Christmas Ever!’

Wonderful property with things to do for all ages
We had a wonderful time at Byecross, such a fab property! We particularly liked the table tennis and tennis, films on the projector, walking the grounds and chilling in the sizeable kitchen. The area is great for exploring and only minutes from the beach which certainly doesn't feel like you're in the UK! Yarmouth was a great little town to visit and was fun to have birthday lunch at On The Rocks, which is highly recommended!
