Guest Book - The Dairy

Another lovely holiday at The Dairy, our very favourite holiday cottage. We did all our usual, favourite things and spoiled ourselves. We enjoyed days at the races at Thirsk and Catterick racecourses, days out at Skipton, Thirsk and Northallerton and enjoyed delicious meals at the Wensleydale Heifer, from Ramsay's fish and chip van, Sunday lunch at the Garden Rooms at Tennants as well as various delicious tea rooms near and far. We never run out of things to do thanks to Diane and Andrew's expertise, knowledge and recommendations and we look forward to returning soon. As always, thank you Diane and Andrew for all you do, and Rachel of course who also does an amazing job.

(poem) Wonderful walks and splendid sights, a gorgeous garden for our delight, Picture perfect in every way, such a joy on a sunny day. Swirling swift high in the sky are mesmerising to the eye. Beautiful birdsong fills the air, relax and listen, it's always there, We have had two weeks of bliss, so thank you both for all of this....Take good care of yourselves and we look forward to seeing you both at Christmas.
Returning Guests from Norwich, Norfolk - August 2024

First visit and Dairy cottage exceeded all our expectations greatly, aided by a brief spell of summer to enjoy the patio and garden. Such a wonderful relaxing space and all our accessibility needs were met. Best cottage we have stayed in! We will look forward to coming again. Thank you both for making us so welcome!
Guests from Holmfirth, West Yorkshire - July 2024

Another wonderful stay at The Dairy. Although weather was not sunny we have had a super stay. Enjoyed visits to Newby Hall, Raby Castle and a 'Behind the Scenes' tour at Tennants. Booked guided tour at Newby Hall online & also visits to Raby Castle & Tennants.

What a glorious week! The weather was perfect and the cottage was wonderful as usual. Thank you Diane and Andrew for making such a beautiful cottage available. It really is home from home. We always enjoy coming. Looking forward already to next time.

Another wonderful stay in The Dairy. It always feels like home. Thank you once again Diane and Andrew for welcoming us back and for the 'extra help'. Looking forward to coming back in December. Thank you once again.
Returning Guests from Sudbury, Suffolk - June 2024

This is a really nice 'groundhog' break - one we will be enjoying for the forseeable future. We are booked every June until 2027. That doesn't include any short breaks we can fit in. Obviously we love The Dairy and of course the Dales. Andrew and Diane are as welcoming as ever, and always able to help with any queries we have. We really look forward to these breaks and seeing Yorkshire, Andrew and Diane.
Returning Guests from Norwich, Norfolk - June 2024

Such a lovely place to stay. Arrive stressed and leave very relaxed. The views from the terrace are lovely and the gardens so pretty. Thank you Andrew and Diane for looking after us so well. Great stay. Walks everyday. Sunshine and showers, but still most enjoyable.
Returning Guests from Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear - June 2024

So lucky to get to stay at The Dairy again - our very favourite holiday cottage. We never tire of The Dairy and the Dales. Visited all our usual haunts and tried a few news ones too. Would highly recommend Tiers and Sprinkles in Leyburn Market Place for lovely cakes and hot drinks; The Wensleydale Heifer for a special occasion; Ramsay's Fish & Chip van and The Bake-Well and Corn Mill Tea Rooms. Had a lovely evening at the village hall in West Burton for a quiz night. Thank you Diane for making the call to get us a place. Thanks to Rachel for getting The Dairy perfect for our arrival and, as always, thanks to Diane and Andrew for everything they do to provide wonderful holidays for all. Oh forgot to mention that a nip to the Brymor Ice Creamery near Jervaulx Abbey is worth it - really delicious and so many flavours to choose from and available to take away in little cartons. Kiplin Hall is a lovely day out - lovely gardens, guided tours of the house and a delicious tea room. We still have lots of recommendations to try out on our next visit thanks to all the lovely, friendly, welcoming people we meet. Diane and Andrew top of that list as always.

Returning Guests from Chesterfield, Derbyshire - April 2024

Have had a wonderful break to recharge and relax. The best accessible accommodation we have stayed in. Perfect in every way. We look forward to our next visit.
Guests from Mark, Somerset - April 2024

What a fabulous find! So good to find a beautiful cottage that is accessible (and we've done lots of searching!). Diane and Andrew have been amazing, giving advice on accessible activities. We saw Trevor McDonald at Tennants and had an excellent meal (both value and quality) beforehand. We have been out and about but also enjoyed quiet days at The Dairy. Sitting on the patio enjoying wine and coffee and the wonderful views. Thank you Yorkshire for being so warm, welcoming and comforting at a time we so desperately needed it.
