Guest Book - The Dairy
Another perfect stay at The Dairy. I don’t believe there will be any finer accommodation in the Dales. Thank you Diane and Andrew.
We’ve had a fabulous holiday as usual. It definitely is home from home. The weather has been wonderful and thankfully a little bit cooler. Thank you Diane for telling us about Thornton Hall Gardens, They were absolutely beautiful. Also the ‘Bird App’ is wonderful. Thank you to both of you for everything you do for us.
Another wonderful stay at The Dairy. This is our 9th time and we were so blessed to have fabulous weather for the whole 10 days. We have really enjoyed sitting in the garden, which is a haven of peace and tranquility, along with the stunning views. Visited Himalayan Gardens again (booked the Tramper through the Outdoor Mobility Scheme). A wonderful place to visit. Also RHS Harlow Carr, Fountains Abbey & Newby Hall, all firm favourites. Thank you once again Diane and Andrew of making us so welcome and for always going the extra mile to ensure we have the best possible time. Looking forward already to our 10th visit! Thank you also for introducing us to the Merlin Bird ID. We have had great fun using it at all the places we have visited, as well as in the beautiful surroundings of the cottage.
This is our 10th yer (we think) and the cottage hasn’t changed, still the same high standard of care and cleanliness. Last year we had a wet time so we asked you to bring us some sunshine this year. We had more than our fair share. Booked for the next couple of years and we can’t wait to return. Thank you Diane and Andrew. Hope you are both better soon.
What a joy it has been to come back up here after a three year break. Wonderful break, fantastic facilities and we leave regretfully, what feels like a small corner of heaven. The bird app details in the folder, or ask Diane, has added a lovely new dimension to our walks.
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.
