Guest Book - The Byre

A lovely weekend break in the best cottage we have ever stayed in. Everything you could ever want or need. Perfection! Thank you.
Guests from Doncaster, South Yorkshire - June 2018

Wow! What a lovely place to stay. We have stayed all over the country in numerous cottages - all beautiful & welcoming but this one beats them all hands down. Diane & Andrew are the best of hosts and The Byre is just superb. Thank you for a lovely stay and the Dales just keep on giving.
Guests from Gosport, Hampshire - June 2018

Another lovely, peaceful week in the Dales. We look forward to coming back again next May. Thanks Diane and Andrew - Sam & Joan.
Returning Guests from Ormskirk, Lancashire - May 2018

Fantastic week of walking and great walks and birds. Lovely cottage. Thank you.
Guests from Haslemere, West Sussex - May 2018

We've had a wonderful relaxing break in a first class cottage. We didn't want for anything (apart from being able to stay longer!!). The quality of the cottage, the views and the owners can't be beaten. So much so that we've immediately booked for next year. Thank you Diane & Andrew - looking forward to returning already.
Guests from Sheffield, South Yorkshire - May 2018

As I sit out on the terrace and gaze up at the Dales one last time, it's with heavy reluctance we have to pack up and head home. What can you say but 'idyllic'. Thank you Diane & Andrew. Yorkshire's Gem.
Returning Guests from Warwick, Warwickshire - May 2018

I don't know how we've managed to leave it so late to discover this lovely area. The cottage has been a treat to come back to after a day out. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and all your help. Yorkshire Trike Tours was a highlight among many memories.
Guests from Teignmouth, Devon - May 2018

Had a lovely relaxing time in this most comfortable cottage. Enjoyed finding Hardraw Force and its coffee shop - for a great lunch. Also Black Sheep Brewery Tour & Cafe made an enjoyable excursion, ad did NT Fountains Abbey nr Ripon. Batteries recharged! Thank you!
Guests from Gloucester. - April 2018

Terrific cottage in a beautiful location. Thank you Di and Andrew. I'd say we will be back, but I think it will be difficult with all the previous guests rebooking!. But we'll try!
Guests from Liverpool - April 2018

What a beautiful cottage in a lovely location and wonderful hosts. Enjoyed the walking and spectacular views over the dales. Thank again to Diane & Andrew - we hope to return soon!
Guests from Pontefract, West Yorkshire - April 2018

A lovely, well equipped cottage in a really quiet spot. We can only agree with previous guests' comments on the standard of the accommodation and the lovely hosts. The falls at West Burton are worth the walk, but if it's been wet, we'd recommend very sturdy boots and gaiters! Leyburn & Thirsk worth a visit. Would love to return in warmer weather. Thank you.
Guests from Widnes, Cheshire - April 2018

Again, we have had the most perfect stay for our 40th wedding anniversary. Thank you for everything to make our stay so gorgeous. Looking forward to next time xxxx.
Returning Guests from Bridlington, East Yorkshire - March 2018

Thank you for another lovely stay. The cottage is still as lovely as when we visited last time. Thank you so much for all your help and advice. It was lovely to see you both again and I hope it won't be too long before we see you again.
Returning Guests from Kelso, Scottish Borders - March 2018

We have had a fabulous stay at The Byre celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary. It was much appreciated staying in a cottage of such a high standard, tastefully decorated and very comfortable - well worthy of its awards. The White Lion at Cray is an excellent place to eat. Thank you Diane & Andrew - you have thought of everything & to Diane for helpful advice on the business. We will be back xx
Guests from Berkeley, Gloucestershire - March 2018

Fantastic stay at The Byre. Absolute PERFECTION. Everything you could possibly want is here! Cannot wait to return!! Many thanks Diane & Andrew x
