Guest Book - The Dairy
Absolutely fabulous place to stay with meticulous attention to detail. Many thanks.
Another enjoyable visit. As usual, Diane thinks of everything - much use of the jigsaw puzzle board when we stayed in on a rainy day. Looking forward to our stay in September.
Another enjoyable visit. Good visits to Kipling Hall, Newby Hall gardens and Raby Castle. Disappointed it was too wet (for us) to visit Thornton Hall Gardens. Enjoyed meals at Tennants Bistro and The Street Head Inn. Thank you Diane and Andrew.
Another wonderful stay at The Dairy and we lucked out, timing our stay withe the first heatwave of 2026. The Wensleydale Ice-Creamery is a great go-to place, especially in a heatwave. The gardens are looking as spectacular as always and everything at The Dairy spot-on. We really enjoyed an impromptu synthesiser demonstration from Andrew ahead of seeing Kraftwerk at the Stockton Globe. Also had a really good afternoon at the Friarage in Yard, watching the Fida Katillo Exhibition on screen. All great accessibility. Thank you Diane, Andrew, Rachel and all others for another wonderful holiday.
What a wonderful find! So comfortable. We will definitely plan to come again.
It has been so lovely to stay at The Dairy again as part of our Golden Wedding celebrations. Thank you also for the champagne! We will be back!
Fabulous! Would have written more, but we are leaving right now! Ingleborough caves - wheelchair accessible and more. Loved it all.
A fantastic second visit topped off with excellent weather. Excellent accessibility features. Diane is a wonderful host. Looking forward to my next visit.
Another fantastic stay at the cottage. Weather really good and lovely to see the new lambs amongst the stunning scenery. Had a great day at Ripon Races. Also (due to TV programme 'Yorkshire's Poshest Hotel), we booked afternoon tea at Grantley Hall! Well worth the visit, although pricey. Would definitely recommend and go again! Thank you.
A lovely week, second time at The Dairy. Home from home Enjoyed some new visits (Bolton Hall - a good flat walk, Bolton Castle and Semerwater). Blessed with good weather.
We have had a lovely stay here, visiting family locally. We have thoroughly enjoyed being in this beautiful cottage where the owners seem to have thought of everything! We will be back in August!
Thank you for a wonderful holiday at The Dairy. We have thoroughly enjoyed purselves, It has been lovely to seeall the signs of spring around us. We love the new additions to The Dairy - the bread slicing guide, the puzzle board and the stroller trolley (which doubles up as a handy side table for puzzle pieces). The Wensleydale Heifer was delicious as always - always worth a visit. We also enjoyed lunch at the Little Drummer Boy Tea Room in Richmond and several times at Hamilton’s in Aysgarth. The weather was good enough to justify eating ice cream, our favourite being the Wensleydale ice-creamery, just a short drive away. We head for home feeling fully refreshed and looking forward to returning soon. Many thanks Diane and Andrew - absolutely top notch as always.
Another fabulous stay in this magical place. From the warm, wonderful welcome from Diane and Andrew, the delights of the n additions to the cottage, to the fabulous weather (sun, sun, more sun, and a snow blizzard!) The beauty of the Dales and stunning wildlife, our stay has been fabulous. We look forward to all of our future bookings. Thank you so much
Once again a fantastic stay at the Cottage in the Dales - our first time in The Dairy, and a perfect base to catch up with friends and explore the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Thank you Andrew and Diane for sharing your home with us and we hope you see you both soon.
This is our fifth holiday at The Dairy. We visit to celebrate our anniversary. This year was really special as it was our Golden Wedding Anniversary. We have enjoyed lovely walks, meeting interesting people. We enjoy supporting local businesses. We visited Thorp Perrow Arboretum where the bird of prey displays were most interesting. Thank you Diane and Andrew so much for our welcome pack.
