Guest Book - The Byre

Our third stay at The Byre and, as always, we’ve had such a wonderful chilled and relaxed long weekend. The cottage is so cosy at this time of year and we’ll be sad to leave in the morning. Carvery at The Street Head Inn is amazing and staff really friendly and welcoming. Diane was as welcoming as can be and all the provisions appreciated.
Returning Guests from Matlock, Derbyshire - November 2026

Thank you once again for making us welcome at our favourite cottage. We will be back.
Returning Guests from East Bierley, West Yorkshire - October 2026

Yet gain a very warm welcome and a brilliant, comfy stay. Diane and Andrew even managed to lay on better weather for us than the forecasts gave - impressive! We always thought The Byre was pretty perfect but Diane has managed to come up with additions that it even better. The Himalayan Gardens and Sculpture Park are definitely worth a visit. We are already looking forward to our next visit in 2027 - and in 2028.
Returning Guests from Macclesfield, Cheshire - October 2026

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.
Returning Guests from Norwich, Norfolk - October 2026

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.
Guests from Doncaster, South Yorkshire - September 2026

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.

A terrific cottage. Faultless! Thank you Diane and Andrew.
Guests from Nottingham - August 2026

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.
Returning Guests from Southampton - July 2026

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!
