A lovely relaxing week. The Byre is definitely THE place to stay in the Dales!
Guests from Buckden, Cambridgeshire - June 2014

Lovely cottage. A super place to come to after a wet and windy day! Our (almost) 5 year old daughter loved the Forbidden Corner, Hazel Brow Farm and Big Sheep Little Cow. We had a nice time at the West Burton Fair. Berry's Farm Shop was convenient and well stocked with fresh veg, cheese, meat etc. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Thank you Diane & Andrew for a wonderful week. We love everything about ‘The Byre’ and the Street Head Inn! Our first time visiting the Yorkshire Dales. It is so beautiful and we will be back.

An absolutely beautiful renovated cottage, done with so much thought and good taste. We loved staying in such luxury and the weather wasn’t too bad either! Thank you so much x

When you are leaving civilisation for 4 months this is a fabulous start! Luxury and comfort - wonderful. Thank you so much for being such excellent hosts.
Returning Guests from Alderley Edge, Cheshire - May 2014

A beautiful cottage with absolutely everything we could possibly need. We especially enjoyed soaking in the massive bath after a long day’s walking. Swaledale is still our favourite walk but we’ll definitely come back to see if we can find a better one. We won’t find a better cottage! Thank you so much for all your attention to detail. We’ve had a wonderful break and will be back as soon as we can!
Returning Guests from Norwich - April 2014

Perfect cottage with great hosts. Enjoyed a lovely week with the weather every day better than the forecast! Great food at the Street Head Inn, walking at Semerwater and Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Pen-y-Ghent is as high as it looks! Will definitely be back.
Guests from Colchester, Essex - April 2014

The Byre has been a wonderful base to spend our weekend in the Dales. We had everything we could possibly need and have thoroughly enjoyed the luxury. Thank you.
