Norfolk Self Catering Rental Homes Bylaugh

4 Star. Bylaugh Hall, The Courtyard Mews in Dereham, near Norwich, Norfolk

9 Bedrooms    4 Bathrooms    Sleeps 20    Children Welcome    No Pets    No Smoking

The Courtyard Mews,this beautiful large Mews has been converted from the hub of the working hall. One enters through a very large front door to a spacious and lofty interior with a myriad of rooms giving seclusion yet accessability to anyone using this wonderful property.
The kitchen and living room are from one of the original great kitchens to the hall, and sport the only stone fireplace to have survived intact. One group of 3 ensuite bedrooms included the original butlers bedroom and an outside safe rooftop patio surrounded by a high wall. Another of the bedrooms is partly glazed (it was the head housekeepers office) and is much loved by children (and their parents who can keep an eye on them sleeping).

This property has a total of 9 bedrooms and sleeps up to 20 persons in comfort. It is secluded in its own courtyard area, tucked into the east side of the hall.


There are a number of mews houses in the environs of Bylaugh Hall which can be rented as self catering units for families wishing to have a get together in a large and commodious home.
They are decorated and furnished  in excellent taste; we are proud that everyone compliments us on the comfort and decor. You may glean a little of what they are like from the pictures with each house.
There is an added advantage in renting these wonderful properties in that they are close to Bylaugh Hall. There are often things of interest going on in the hall, such as music concerts, art exhibitions, dance classes and so on. At the same time, there are the restaurants and gardens to enjoy.

The History of Bylaugh Hall
The great estate at Bylaugh was acquired for the Lombe (later Evans-Lombe) family by Sir John Lombe in 1796. Although the details remain a little unclear, it is rumoured that he won it from Richard Lloyd in card game. Some say as the result of Lloyds butler drugging his wine. Sir John died in 1817. [However, more sane historians consider that it was exchanged with the Holkham Estate for land owned by Sir John Lombe at Holkham].

With no children to inherit the estate it passed to his brother Edward. Sir John's bequest included a large sum of money deposited in trust to be used for the building of a mansion on the estate. [A dream of his lifetime, a dream that he was determined should be achieved. A dream nearly destroyed. A dream regained].

After some years of little activity, the Court of Chancery instructed that the trust money be used, and eventually architects Charles Barry Jnr and Richardson Banks were commissioned to design a suitable house. William Andrews Nesfield advised on the position of the house, and was responsible for laying out the grounds and gardens.
