10 of our family and friends spent a week here, people arrived and left and we spent our time connecting to each other. Talking, playing the piano, drinking tea, exploring the city, exploring the countryside.It was like s tr aying in a friends home. The host let us use her home including all the kitchen facilities and feeding Hargreaves, a chilled, grand, cat. We loved it!

We rented the whole of Baye House for a family christmas with relatives who were visiting from overseas.The property was ideally set-up and provided the perfect backdrop to an English christmas. Each bedroom is large and many have their own sinks / bathrooms. There are also 2 'family' bathrooms with baths which was excellent for the kids. The Kitchen has everything one would need, even to make a full christmas dinner, with many oven trays, pans and lots of crockery. Anne had kindly provided a great supply of coffee, tea, fruit etc. which was very helpful. The large dining room table was perfect for dinner for 12 people and we enjoyed playing the piano. The large living room is gorgeous and wood-pannelled, and the Christmas tree was beautiful. The fireplace is also a great size for setting out stockings - Father Christmas had no issues getting down the chimney!We would highly recommend this well set-up house for larger family stays and its position in Colchester makes it ideal for exploring the historic sites of the town. Thank you, Anne!

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.
