Guest Book - The Byre
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.
Another lovely holiday in this more than delightful cottage. Diane and Andrew perfect hosts as usual.
Another wonderful stay, despite the rain trying to spoil it! Got a couple of rides and walks in. Home from home.
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,
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!
A second perfect stay. Mostly good weather. Thanks.
A beautiful cottage furnished to a really high standard in a wonderful location. Perfect!
Our third return to the lovely Byre here in Newbiggin. Honestly felt like returning to a long lost home - warm and welcoming, beautifully turned out and welcoming. All this thanks to our wonderful hosts, Andrew and Diane. Thank you again for designing, maintaining and continuing to make The Byre available, to us and so many others who look forward to being here.
Thanks again Diane and Andrew for yet another lovely week at The Byre. We’re losing count of how many trips we have made now, but are already looking forward to our next.
As always, everything at The Byre is perfection and beyond, Warmest welcome, plenty of local info and suggestions of things to do and places to visit. May favourites walks revisited and have enjoyed performances at the Swaledale Festival. The Curlew Safari from Castle Bolton was wonderful and we will definitely do that again on another stay here, Thank you Diane and Andrew for everything, 5 stars really aren’t enough to reflect what you offer at Cottage in the Dales.
The most wonderful accommodation and hospitality we could hope for in this spectacular part of the world. Thank you Diane and Andrew for your gracious welcome and care during our stay. We will be back!
This is our fourth visit to Cottage in the Dales and we have booked for 2026 and 2027. I think that says a lot. I just love it here, so comfortable and everything you could wish for. It was sunshine for two weeks. Thank you Diane and Andrew.
Our first visit to The Byre but not to Diane and Andrew's hospitality, which is second to none! The Byre is better than the cottage in West Burton and I didn't think I would ever say that. Weather was glorious! Thank you Diane we will come again next year.
Yet another wonderful stay at Cottage in the Dales - our first time in The Byre. Cosy cottage for two with beautiful antique finishes. The warmest of welcomes as always from Diane and Andrew. Thanks again for a stunning retreat to add to our memories. Looking forward to August 2026 already.
What a wonderful place to stay. We have chilled and had plenty of down time. The Byre is stunning. We will be back from Boldon, nr Newcastle. Thank you Diane for your recommendations too!
