Comfort and Space for Every Guest
Bayfield House isn’t fancy or fussy—it’s spacious, relaxed, and full of charm.
The kind of house where muddy boots at the door are expected, the kettle’s always on, and there’s always a good spot to sit with a book or a glass of wine.
Whether you’re here for a week of exploring or a weekend of doing absolutely nothing, the house is yours to settle into.
Bayfield comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests, spread across six bedrooms, with plenty of shared spaces to come together or find your own quiet corner.
From the big old kitchen at the heart of the house to the bright garden room with views across the orchard, every room is designed to feel welcoming, lived-in, and warm.
Upstairs Bedrooms
Upstairs, the charm of Bayfield House truly comes alive. These rooms capture sweeping views over the orchards, the fields, and the distant Atlantic, inviting soft morning light and peaceful evenings. Each room is individually styled, blending heritage character with modern comfort. A cosy reading corner on the landing, overlooking the sea offers the perfect retreat — a comfortable armchair, a warm lamp, and the quiet hum of nature make it ideal for evening reading or quiet reflection.
