Guest Book - The Byre

First impressions - wow! A beautiful cottage in an idyllic place. So much attention to detail. Lovely welcome from Diane. This place has everything you could need and more! Came for a long weekend and didn't want to leave - will be back!! Try the chauffeur service - heaven! Thanks so much.
Guests from Leeds - February 2017

Best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in! Beautifully appointed. Enjoyed using the telescope on our one clear night. Diane and Andrew (and even the builders) have been super friendly and helpful; local businesses and Yorkshire folk have also been warm and welcoming, despite us being Lancastrians :)
Guests from Goosnargh, Lancashire - February 2017

A very relaxing stay in this stunning cottage in the wonderful Dales! The Dales are just as beautiful any time of the year. Thank you both for your very warm welcome and good luck on the completion of the Dairy.

Fantastic cottage, location and hosts! We've really enjoyed our stay. Weather was kind too.
Guests from Offord Cluny, Cambridgeshire - January 2017

Such a beautiful place to spend New Year. Everything needed during our stay was catered for in the cottage and made us feel right at home. Clear skies and sun at this time of year meant plenty of sightseeing. Recommend using the books in the cottage to find the perfect route! Thanks for a great time.
Guests from St Neot's, Cambridgeshire - January 2017

We have had a lovely stay here. The cottage is gorgeous - it is clear that a lot of hard work and love has gone into making this a first class cottage in the dales. Diane and Andrew are such warm and hospitable people, and go out of their way to make your stay a great one. Thank you for a special Christmas here - our first one as retirees!
Guests from Halesowen, West Midlands - December 2016

We don't want to go home! The Byre is simply fantastic! There are not enough superlatives to describe the quality, elegance and sheer delight of this wonderful cottage. Hosts Diane & Andrew are superb. Nothing is too much trouble, so attentive in every way. Puts other so called 5 star establishments to shame. We will definitely be back!
Guests from Widnes, Cheshire - December 2016

Wow, amazing cottage - everything has been superb. Attention to detail first class. Normally stay at Inglenook (would highly recommend too!), but this cottage is unique. Great weekend. Thanks Diane, Andrew & Pippa - your hospitality is legendary!
Returning Guests from Solihull, West Midlands - December 2016

Excellent cottage, all the facilities lived up to & beyond our expectations. Christmas decorations made it feel like Christmas already. Diane & Andrew are the perfect hosts, both friendly and very helpful.
Guests from Nuneaton, Warwickshire - December 2016

Lovely cottage, everything first class. We have had brilliant weather and have walked many miles!! Diane and Andrew are so helpful. We are back at Inglenook in February.
Returning Guests from Great Amwell, Herts. - December 2016

We have been in some lovely cottages over the years, but The Byre is definitely the best we have stayed in. Very tastefully decorated and everything is of the highest quality. Diane and Andrew were lovely. We would certainly stay again and would recommend to family and friends. Thank you xx. Beautifully decorated for Christmas!!
Guests from Wakefield - November 2016

Walking in the door of The Byre for our second stay immediately felt like home. The warmth of the fire, already lit, coupled with the warmth of Diane & Andrew's hospitality made for another magical visit. See you again next year!
Returning Guests from Chichester, Sussex - November 2016

Our first time to The Byre and not be our last. The cottage is perfect, exceeding our expectation. Diane and Andrew were most welcome and considerate during our week here. Booking for same time next year.
