Guest Book - The Byre
So glad we discovered The Byre in 2015, and have been back regularly since. Diane and Andrew’s cottages and hospitality are simply the best, faultless! We’ve had a lovely short break, just what we needed, and we will be back next year.
What can we say? Yet another wonderful stay at the amazing Byre. So good, it’s becoming a habit, and we will return again and again and again to this amazing , wonderful and beautiful little gem. Thank you Diane for all your care and attention - see you next year!
We’ve had the most incredible stay. The Dales are stunning and The Byre is perfect. Thank you for everything and we can’t wait to come back again.
Thank you for a very lovely few days at The Byre. You have a beautiful cottage with views to die for, and many thanks for going the extra mile, plus many more, for my difficult skin and headaches. You have been the perfect host. Hope to see you again.
We’ve genuinely lost count of how many visits we’ve made to your wonderful cottages (editor = 31st visit!) and we’re already looking forward to our next visit! Have visited all our regular haunts and got to Cumbria to see the wonerful Levens Hall and Gardens. Then our top treat was to get to Newby Hall to vsit the amazing Harrogate Autumn Flower Show. Hope all our purchases get home safely. Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality, a beautiful cottage surrounded by a delightful garden. Back soon.
Thank you both. The most perfect introduction to the Yorkshire Dales. As first timers we fell in love with the location and thank you to Diane and Andrew for adding to our wonderful experience.
Perfect cottage, hosts & countryside, Came to chill, going home icebergs! Thank you both.
How can you comment on perfection - our third visit. Just a lovely, relaxing place to be, to unwind. Thank you both for a lovely stay. See you next year.
Like so many others we are contented returners who have benefited from everything this wonderful place has to offer. Totally excellent as ever!
A terrific cottage. Faultless! Thank you Diane and Andrew.
Our fifth time at this wonderful cottage. So lovely to see Diane and Andrew and a great welcome as always. Weather has been amazing, lovely to walk in. Found a great place to eat in Bedale called Hamson - expensive but worth it. A great app for walking - the new Yorkshire Dales app. Did Cotter Force, Garsdale, Grimwith, Old Gang, Semerwater & Smardale Gill - really easy to follow. Also Aysgarth. Excellent pizzas at the White Goose Pizza Co. Made use of the 25% off Newby Hall voucher - very lovely hall and gardens. As always it’s been an excellent stay. Thank you so much Diane and Andrew for everything. See you in 2028.
Another fab stay. The Byre is so clean and comfortable. Andrew and Diane so welcoming and the sun had his hat on! Thank you so much. See you next year!
Another lovely stay at The Byre! The garden was glorious , so peaceful and relaxing. Thank you again Diane and Andrew for the warm welcome and ensuring all our needs were met.
The June heatwave 2026 - there was nowhere we would rather have been than up here in Bishopdale. What luck to have booked this time and to have been out of the horrendous heat of the south east. The weather here has been glorious and just right. We visited our favourite haunts round Cray, Arncliffe, Yockenthwaite, Hawes and Semerwater. It was such a pleasure to be outside all the time immersed in nature. Coats, jumpers and trousers all remained unworn. Then each day to return to the luxury and comfort of The Byre was just perfect. Every room is a joy to be in. Andrew and Diane could not be kinder, helpful or more thoughtful hosts. It’s wonderful to stay somewhere privately owned, and by people who really do care about their guests. And the garden is paradise. Thank you Diane and Andrew for everything.
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage, Thanks Diane and Andrew you have thought of everything anyone would need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We have loved the peace and quiet, bird song and beautiful garden.
