About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth and Barry Holden
We are a large family, with four children, all of whom have enjoyed many holidays here, often adding in nieces and nephews or other familes. All come back with us year after year.
Why they chose this property
Its wide hall and spacious gardens first made us look at the house seriously, when we were after somewhere to accommodate our immediate family plus an equal number of guests to enjoy easy, active holidays. We quickly fell for the house and its setting. Its country feel, many amenities and proximity to ferry, shops and restaurants, sealed it for us.
We have refurbished it over the years as a home from home, sympathetic to its Arts and Crafts design, keeping it airy and light. The house is our escape - warm and cosy in winter around the fire or kitchen table. It suits a small crew really nicely, but adapts quickly to a large crowd over Christmas or New Year, perhaps over a roast meal, a jigsaw or a game of Scrabble. In summer, with the many external doors open all the time, a loud lively family atmosphere prevails, with laughter coming in from the pool, apples and plums being picked, and most meals taken outside.
When you have a place as lovely as Byecross, we thought it only right to share it and help others make lovely memories. Since opening the house up to VRBO guests, we have been delighted that so many have chosen to return, some on multiple occasions. Byecross has clearly worked its magic on those too.
