Baylham House Farm

Self catering family farm holidays in Suffolk UK

Baylham House Rare Breeds Farm offers family farm holidays in Great Britain.   Located in East Anglia in the county of Suffolk, our self catering accomodation is self contained within part of our old farmhouse and we are perfectly situated for you to enjoy the fabulous surrounding countryside as well as the nearby coast. Suffolk is a beautiful county with some lovely old towns and an abundant choice of good pubs and restaurants within easy reach of the farm.

The Suffolk coast will give you an enormous choice from commercial docks to unspoilt seaside towns and villages; from pebbles or shingle to sand; from  whelks or fish and chips to lobster thermidor;  lazing on the beach to sailing, fishing or speedboating.

The East Anglian countryside can offer you forests, farmland or gently rolling hills; castles or country houses; tourist attractions for both the very young and the not so young; peace and quiet or night clubs; cycling or horse riding.  Whatever the tastes or ages
of your family, Baylham House Farm will be the comfortable location from which you can indulge yourselves.

  The annexeOur self-catering holiday unit, the Annexe, will sleep four adults and a cot. It is laid out with a double bedroom, a twin bedroom, a sitting room, a bathroom and a separate toilet all upstairs. The twin beds are 2ft 6ins wide and may not suit a larger adult. Downstairs there is an entrance hall, storage and a kitchen with a dining area. Central heating and hot water are oil fired and cooking is by electricity. Towels, linen, heating oil and electricity are all provided within the rental cost.  A baby's cot is available at a small extra charge and a high chair free of charge can be provided.

The accommodation is fitted out with all you will need for a self-catering holiday.  There is a micorwave, an electric cooker, a fridge with a small freezer compartment, a washing machine / drier, colour TV and VCR.  The kitchen contains a comprehensive range of equipment so, if cordon bleu cooking is your thing , you will still be able to produce your favourite family meals.
 
       The FarmApart from our Labrador, cats and innumerable white doves, you will find that we keep rare breeds of cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and poultry. If you want to join in with feeding, lambing, calving, foot trimming, shearing, tupping, farrowing, dagging and other countryside pastimes, you will be most welcome. If, on the other hand, you want to be left alone to do your own thing then please do so. Regrettably, due to the presence of our own dog and the farm animals, we are unable to allow pets to come with you on holiday.

We have a good selection of birds in the local area and also we are  located in the centre of the public footpath network in and around the Gipping Valley so, if you are keen on walking and bird watching, bring your boots and binoculars. We can offer you coarse fishing on the river Gipping which is well known as a good chubb river. One fisherman who stayed here spotted an enormous carp in the pool at the end of our garden and subsequently ruined his wife's holiday by spending all his time trying to catch the monster. They are now speaking to each other again and have become frequent visitors to Baylham.

The nearest shops are in Needham Market two miles away and there are two supermarkets each within a ten minute drive. 

Baylham House Annexe provides you with an excellent setting to relax and unwind in a rural environment. If you want to be more energetic, we are well placed for you to find what you need in the local area. If you want further information, send us an e-mail. We will be happy to answer your questions.
