Guest Book - The Byre

A perfect restful stay in this wonderful cottage. Everything to such a high standard. We spent the time looking up old haunts in the Dales and coming back each evening to a warm fire and comfort galore Thank you Andrew & Diane, such welcoming hosts.
Guests from Wakefield - October 2025

The hosts Diane and Andrew are utterly insane! Their levels of care and attention to detail are literally 'off the scale!' No matter where you go or where you stay, you will NOT find anything better than the wonderful, amazing Byre! We will be back again and again, Thank you for such a wonderful stay,
Returning Guests from Watford, Hertfordshire - October 2025

Our first time staying at this beautiful cottage and we'll definitely be back. We've enjoyed an amazing week and it's a joy return to The Byre after each day out. It is beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable. Diane and Andrew have thought of everything. Thank you Diane and Andrew for your warm welcome and making our stay so memorable.
Guests from Northwhich, Cheshire - October 2025

Thank you Diane and Andrew for your warm welcome and for everything you do to make us feel so comfortable and thoroughly spoilt. You are fabulous hosts!

We look forward to returning and we leave you with our thanks and very best wishes.
Returning Guests from Thornton-le-Beans, North Yorkshire - September 2025

Another wonderful visit. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts and thinking of absolutely everything! We were very busy with visits to Bolton Castle (I'm brilliant sunshine!), Harewood House to see the wonderful Turner/Jane Austen exhibition and Levens Hall House and Garden. The garden team were busy trimming the topiary!
Returning Guests from Tring, Hertfordshire - September 2025

Three years since we were last here. Reassuringly lovely. A very good week of walks and exploration. The weather influenced what was feasible. We walked around Richmond and Jervaulx Abbey in very dramatic conditions. A special mention on this occasion of the garden. It really does look splendid no matter what colour the skies above happen to be!
Returning Guests from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire - September 2025

Had another lovely stay in this beautiful cottage. Hope to be back soon.
Returning Guests from East Bierley, West Yorkshire - September 2025

Our second visit (first in The Byre). Everything, as ever to a very high standard. Lovely part of the world and a comfortable, cosy cottage to enjoy the Dales. Perfect!
Returning Guests from Lincolnshire - September 2025

A lovely cottage. The best presented holiday cottage we have had the pleasure of staying in (excluding Inglenook!). The hospitality is second to none. Thank you Diane and Andrew for being the perfect hosts.
Returning Guests from Adelaide, South Australia - August 2025

Another lovely holiday in this more than delightful cottage. Diane and Andrew perfect hosts as usual.
Returning Guests from Roslin, Midlothian - July 2025

Another wonderful stay, despite the rain trying to spoil it! Got a couple of rides and walks in. Home from home.
Returning Guests from Elloughton, East Yorkshire - July 2025

Another lovely holiday staying in The Byre. Diane and Andrew are perfect hosts and couldn’t be more helpful and welcoming. The weather was superb and we have enjoyed Wharfedale, Wensleydale and Swaledale at their best - wild swimming in Wharfedale, walking in Wensleydale and Swaledale, and seeing the red squirrels near Hawes and the sheepdog demonstration. We had one day of rain which we spent at the Dales Countryside Museum - a very compact & interesting museum, well worth a visit. Every room in The Byre is a joy to be in. We will be back. Thanks for everything,
Returning Guests from Walton-on-Thames, Surrey - July 2025

Our first stay at The Byre and enjoyed it just as much as Inglenook. The warmest of welcomes from Diane and Andrew and the highest quality and standards as usual. Booked for 2027 already!
