Bay House

Guarding the gentle curve of New Grimsby harbour, Bay House is a timeless island retreat where sea, sky and stillness meet.

At A Glance

From its privileged position above Farm Beach, the house gazes westward across shifting tides to Bryher and the distant silhouette of Samson - a view that changes with every hour, yet always feels quietly extraordinary.

The Cottage

Inside, the cottage blends traditional character with relaxed coastal comfort. The light-filled sitting room invites long, unhurried evenings - a place for fireside conversation, shared stories and the soft glow of sunset fading through the windows.

The dining space is made for gathering, whether over leisurely breakfasts before a day of exploration or candlelit suppers after salty swims and golden-hour walks.

Upstairs, three peaceful bedrooms offer deep rest, with the master suite and second bedroom both offering captivating sea views - mornings begin here with light on the water and the sound of distant waves.

Outside, the extensive garden becomes your private vantage point on island life; the gardens surround the cottage and offer exceptional views across the bay. As the day softens, pour a glass of something chilled, breathe in the ocean air and watch the sky turn amber, then rose, then indigo.

The Location

Bay House offers both seclusion and connection. Step beyond the gate and you're at the heart of the island village, with the Stores, The New Inn, the Spa and the Flying Boat Café all within a couple of minutes' walk.

Yet it is Farm Beach, just across the lane, that defines life here: long, sunlit days, warm sand beneath bare feet, and the quiet joy of gathering shells along the shore.

Our Favourite Thing

Climb Vane Hill which shelters the cottage as evening approaches and the whole island unfolds before you - a panorama of sea, sky and scattered isles, endlessly shifting, endlessly beautiful.
