Guest Book - The Dairy

Really enjoyed my first visit to the cottage. The interior is well equipped to a very high standard. Diane & Andrew are excellent and friendly hosts. Andrew went the extra mile in building a plinth at the side of the bed to ensure my wheelchair was level with the bed - many thanks!
Guests from London - April 2022

Never tire of visiting this delightful and excellently appointed cottage. We had had an amazing week - lots of local walking, weather superb, couldn't wish for anything better. Thank you Diane & Andrew for being such superb hosts. You are both so welcoming. See you in October.
Returning Guests from Stourbridge, West Midlands - March 2022

First time at The Dairy due to a cancellation and therefore lucky enough to have completed the trilogy over the years. Each luxury cottage has its own character but the common theme is the exceptional quality of all aspects - presentation, equipment, cleanliness. Guests are treated as friends by the most genuine & generous hosts you will ever meet. Thank you Diane, Andrew and Rachel
Returning Guests from Acton Trussell, Staffordshire - March 2022

Another wonderful stay, made even more perfect by beautiful weather. The Dairy never disappoints. We has another wonderful meal at the Wensleydale Heifer and delicious fish and chips from the van on Tuesday night. Thank you Diane & Andrew for all the recommendations, hospitality and for all you do to provide wonderful holidays and memories for all lucky enough to stay in any of your luxury properties. Truly excellent.
Returning Guests from Rochester, Kent - March 2022

What a wonderful cottage and gardens. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you Diane & Andrew so much for the lovely welcome pack. We have enjoyed some lovely walks. We visited the World of James Herriot in Thirsk. Had lunch at Tennants Garden Rooms, Leyburn. Robert and I have found our special place and we will be back soon. Take care of one another.
Guests from Ormskirk, Lancashire - March 2022

Such an amazing cottage in a lovely part of the world. Frost time away without children and the luxury the cottage gave us was amazing. We will be back. The food was wonderful. Walked the Ingleborough Trail, but did not realise who up and down it would be. Slept well that night. Thank you so much.
Guests from Manchester - February 2022

The Dairy is quite simply perfect! We stay in lots of different accessible properties around the country and The Dairy is by far our favourite. It has everything you need for a week away. The amount of accessible information for the local area is really appreciated and made our week so much easier. We love all the little extra touches that make this place luxury. Thank you Diane, Andrew and Rachel.
Returning Guests from Derbyshire - February 2022

Wow! Love The Dairy. The finish is excellent. The kitchen has everything you need. Great birthday weekend. Weather rainy but pubs & local area kept us busy.
Guests from Saddleworth, Lancashire - February 2022

Enjoyed our week at The Dairy, a very well equipped and comfortable cottage. Lots of lovely finishing touches from our welcoming hosts, Diane and Andrew. Not too bad a week weather wise, mostly dry with some sunshine. Visited lots of waterfalls and had a great morning at a red squirrel hide.
Guests from Preston, Lancashire - January 2022

Exceptional in every way. We hope to return when we can get in!
Guests from Brough, East Yorkshire - January 2022

Our first visit to The Dairy that should have been in 2020. So worth the wait - the cottage is beautiful and we've had such a lovely Christmassy weekend thank you. Amazing Hosts. Thank you Diane for making us feel so at home. The whole experience & location were breathtaking. Thank you so much - we will be back x
Guests from Wakefield, West Yorkshire - December 2021

Our second visit & just as good as the first one. We feel recharged after a lovely restful weekend thanks to a beautiful cottage & lovely hosts.
Returning Guests from Northumberland - December 2021

From the warm welcome to the wave ‘cheerio’ this has been a wonderous break in a property that oozes charm & sophistication. The charm of the original old building can be felt from the exposed stone. The fireplace is simply divine. All the finer details have been carefully considered & included which makes life so much easier to know you only need pack some clothes & turn up. We have had a wonderful stay, wish it was longer! Will definitely be returning guests in the future. Andrew & Diane - The Dairy is a credit to you. Thank you.
Guests from Leeds & Bolton - December 2021

As returning visitors to The Dairy, the whole experience keeps getting better. The warm welcome in typical Yorkshire style is a great joy. Christmas dressing is superb. Looking forward to our visits next year. Thank you Andrew & Diane.
Returning Guests from Sudbury, Suffolk - December 2021

Another fabulous stay in our Yorkshire Dales retreat. The wonderful Christmas decorations and crisp cold weather have got us in the festive mood. Thank you Diane & Andrew for everything you do to make your guests welcome and pampered. See you in April next year x
