A wonderfully relaxing week in a beautiful holiday home with virtually every facility we could have hoped for. It was great to have so much space for three generations of our family to enjoy and the extensive grounds gave everyone room to enjoy tennis, badminton, table tennis, football or just sitting under the trees enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The highlight of the week was the beautiful swimming pool with the added bonus for the children of a slide - as the temperature on most days was 30deg C it really provided an oasis for us all! Although it was too hot to use the many bicycles available, it would be quite helpful if there were some recommended bike trails available too as the main roads were a bit busy for our younger members.Our hosts were extremely helpful and easy to contact throughout and we appreciated the homely, relaxed feel to the house that they have created. We have all returned home with so many happy memories of a wonderful week at Byecross.

Great family house with lots of space both inside and out. Garden and pool and slide plus playgrounds and sheds were a real hit with the family as plenty to do onsite. A nice touch were all the family games, Lego and train set that Barry and Elizabeth made available for their guests. Barry and Elizabeth were keen to make our stay as enjoyable as possible as communications excellent.

This was our second visit to the house. We love it there because it’s so peaceful and quiet with a huge garden full of interesting plants. Yarmouth is very close as is Freshwater Bay, one of our favourite places. It is easy to book a food delivery and the Tesco’s superstore is near. Altogether a great place for a laid back holiday. The host was most helpful with answering any questions. We will return I’m sure.

We stayed here early May as a family of 11 plus 2 dogs. Suffice to say, if this was a tick box exercise , this house would tick them all. The kids enjoyed the swimming, the adults enjoyed the company and the dogs loved the garden. I would recommend this property for anyone wanting a peaceful escape, with beach and countryside walks.The hosts were extremely accommodating too. Would book again!
