Another amazing stay at this fabulous house
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.

Very happy break between Christmas and new year.
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!)

A wonderful family stay
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 :)

What a find - magical!
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 complete joy!
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
