Really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and comfortable cottage. Diane and Andrew - so welcoming and helpful. Planning to come again. Thanks for the lovely welcome pack. x
Guests from Liphook, Hampshire - July 2017

An enjoyable week in a very comfortable cottage. Diane and Andrew are very welcoming and their dining recommendations are excellent. We particularly enjoyed a superb meal at the Wensleydale Heifer Inn. We would also recommend a day at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden.
Guests from Leatherhead, Surrey - July 2017

Despite the end of a heatwave, an amazing few days walking in such a special place. What you say about Diane and Andrew that has not been said before!! You can fully understand why The Byre received a national winner award from Visit England. You never felt you are in a 'holiday' cottage. Perfect. Shame we had to go home. Thanks for making my birthday so special. Very best wishes for your future ventures and The Dairy x
Guests from Warrington, Cheshire - June 2017

Our second stay here. We have had a wonderful week, so many places to visit. We felt very welcome, more like friends than guests. Ate in the Street Head Inn - very good food, certainly didn't come out there hurry. More place to visit when we hopefully return next year.

Guests from Andover, Hampshire - June 2017

Had a lovely week despite some rain. The Dales Museum at Hawes worth a visit. Visited Aysgarth Falls, impressive. Bolton Castle a good outing as well. Second visit here. Lovely relaxing cottage, looks and feels luxurious. Thanks must go to Diane and Andrew.
Returning Guests from Huddersfield - June 2017

Thank you Diane and Andrew for making us so welcome at your luxurious cottage. We have thoroughly enjoyed a full week walking and sight-seeing in glorious scenery and (on the whole!) glorious weather. We enjoyed your amazing library, the bird song, the lovely garden, relaxing in the evening, the shopping and the wine. With all good wishes for future ventures. Maker - the flower meadows are a feast for the eyes - really lift the spirits & walk on to Keld. Aysgarth Rock Garden - a relet retreat - amazing creation. Not what you might expect! Knitters beware! Longwood Sheep Shop off Leyburn Market Square. Well worth a visit. Mainly luxurious soft wool from Wensleydale sheep.
Guests from Nottingham - June 2017
