Guest Book - The Byre

Another relaxing break in this fantastic cottage. Looking forward to our return to 'Cottage in the Dales' in the summer. Thank you Diane & Andrew for such first class hospitality.
Returning Guests from Glasgow - January 2024

Our first Christmas visit, the cottage evoked the very essence of Christmas with all the lovely decorations, the tree and don't forget the cosy log burning stove. Days out walking in the Dales, it was always a lovely thought to return to our welcoming cottage in the evening. Thank you to Diane and Andrew for such excellence.
Returning Guests from Kirkliston, Edinburgh - December 2023

Needed a few days of rest and relaxation and our few days at The Byre did the trick. This and The Dairy are our 'Go To' places. Thanks.
Returning Guests from Norwich, Norfolk - December 2023

Another wonderful stay. Magic. Cottage perfect 10/10.
Returning Guests from Wigton, Cumbria - December 2023

We had a lovely stay in a fabulous cottage that has everything you need. Attention to detail and thoughtful touches were appreciated, as was the hospitality shown by Diane and Andrew.
Guests from Etchingham, East Sussex - December 2023

Absolute bliss! Thank you all for such a wonderful cottage. Having been on a walking holiday just before coming here, this was been an oasis of luxury. My third stay at your cottages and I/we will be back. For future visitors I recommend leaving the car here and walking to Aysgarth (via Thoralby) then to West Burton and back to Newbiggin. It's such a lovely walk!
Returning Guest from Stroud, Gloucestershire - November 2023

Another great stay - our third here. We didn't let Storm Debi get in the way. Had some local flooding but managed to get around (just). Got some great walks in despite the weather. Ingleton waterfalls were amazing. Went to Durham, lovely city, and York which is always a good day out. Thanks for the great cottage and see you in May 2024.
Returning Guests from Hedge End, Southampton - November 2023

Another excellent visit. The Byre is even better than we remembers. A warm, comfortable place to come 'home' to after a cold November day out. The EVCP is brilliant, thanks
Returning Guests from Macclesfield, Cheshire - November 2023

Another excellent stay and welcome as usual. Weather mixed but managed plenty of walking. We will be back!

A joy to be back. The standard of this cottage is above 10/10. We will return as soon as possible. Diane and Andrew are such a wonderful couple and make the place so beautiful.
