Guest Book - The Byre

Another wonderful few days in your delightful barn. Your hospitality is quite amazing and you even arranged for snow on this visit! The Dales looked amazing. Can't wait to see you again in 2017. Fondest beset wishes, Lynne & John. xx

Wonderful cottage in such a peaceful location. We had a fantastic time at the West Burton firework display, with sparklers provided by Diane (so thoughtful). Diane & Andrew are lovely hosts, with ideas for trips and places to visit. We've had a lovely mini break and I've had a memorable birthday. Thank you for making it so. x

Return trip and not disappointed. Some fabulous walks including one from Bainbridge around Semerwater - able to see both dales from the ridge - amazing. Good visits to Ilkley 'Bettys' and to Ripon on less energetic days. Great hosts and fabulous location.
Returning Guests from Gloucestershire - October 2016

A luxurious cottage with everything in it and more. Spotlessly clean with hosts who go that extra mile to make your stay more enjoyable. Lovely gesture by Diane to take us to a wine tasting & bring us back. Lovely part of the world and so much more still to explore. We have had a wonderful time & will be back.
