Malcolm’s son Simon and his partner Tessa have now taken over the management of Blue Hayes, and have devised an exciting new approach. They couldn’t be more excited to continue welcoming old friends and make new ones while creating something different.
And so, Blue Hayes Weekend Escapes was born.
Building on everything Blue Hayes has always done best — warm, personal hospitality, peaceful surroundings, exceptional food and great wine — while also introducing a selection of curated weekends centred around themes from walking and reading to wine, creativity and sound.
The calendar will initially open for simple relaxed weekend stays, no frills or fuss just the simple pleasure of peace and quiet with good food, wine and spectacular views. Selected weekends will be reserved for curated weekends to launch at the end of 2027.
