Just simply a divine little cottage, every aspect quite perfect. Beautiful garden settings surrounding, with planting catering for all seasons. Thank you so much Diane & Andrew.
Returning Guests from Acton Trussell, Staffordshire - October 2021

We are that rare species of visitor. First timers. We hadn't been here a day before we were plotting our return. The combination of the location and The Byre is a magical one. Lots to explore next time!
Guests from Cheltenham - October 2021

Second visit to stay - The Dairy first time. The Byre this time. As always perfect getaway location & cottage, even good weather! Will come again.
Returning Guests from Marsham, Norfolk - October 2021

A four day last minute opportunity to stay at The Byre was too good to miss. A perfect chance for some R&R , another lovely stay and looking forward to returning next year. Thanks again Diane & Andrew.
Returning Guests from Norwich, Norfolk - October 2021

Absolutely nothing to complain about, only praise! We enjoyed a relaxing stay in your lovely cottage. Thank you.
Guests from Tavistock, Devon - October 2021

Our third visit to The Byre. Excellent, just gets better every time. Did some good walks, had a good meal at The Sandpiper restaurant in Leyburn. We have booked The Byre again. Thanks so much for a super stay.
Returning Guests from Sheffield, South Yorkshire - September 2021

What can we say about The Byre that hasn't been said! The awards over the years is a testament of Diane and Andrew's professionalism. We had an amazing week; in addition to quality accommodation we enjoyed the walks, food and all the friendly people we met. We plan to return. Continued success to Diane & Andrew.
Guests from Preston, Lancashire - September 2021

We ordered the sunshine & knew the waling but were very impressed by the cottage. Thanks. Super hosts too!
Guests from London - September 2021

Everything perfect. Simply 'special'. Can't say more than that.
Guests from Holmfirth, West Yorkshire - September 2021

Another wonderful stay at The Byre, everything perfect - 10/10. Our third visit and booked for next year. Thank you Diane & Andrew. We LOVE it. Would recommend the Bake-Well in Askrigg for coffee & cake and Hardbanks Barn for Wensleydale Ice Cream on the road to Hawes.
Returning Guests from Kirkcaldy, Fife - August 2021

Thank you Diane and Andrew for yet another stay in your beautiful cottage. Everything just as lovely as before and the best cottage we have ever stayed in. Hope to be back next year.
Returning Guests from nr Bradford, West Yorkshire - August 2021

Thank you Andrew & Diane for a great break in your cottage. This is our second stay with you, the first being in The Dairy. We could not have wished for a nicer accommodation in super surroundings. We look forward to our next visit. The freshly baked bread was a real bonus.
Returning Guests from Broadway, Worcestershire - August 2021

Looking back at previous comments, I see how so many of the guests here are ‘returners’ - as we are. There is very good reason for this. This is simply one of the very best cottages one could hope to stay in. Everything so comfortable and Andrew and Diane make one feel that nothing is too much trouble. Such a treat to be back again. Thank you.
