Guest Book - The Byre
The hosts Diane and Andrew are utterly insane! Their levels of care and attention to detail are literally 'off the scale!' No matter where you go or where you stay, you will NOT find anything better than the wonderful, amazing Byre! We will be back again and again, Thank you for such a wonderful stay,
Our first time staying at this beautiful cottage and we'll definitely be back. We've enjoyed an amazing week and it's a joy return to The Byre after each day out. It is beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable. Diane and Andrew have thought of everything. Thank you Diane and Andrew for your warm welcome and making our stay so memorable.
Thank you Diane and Andrew for your warm welcome and for everything you do to make us feel so comfortable and thoroughly spoilt. You are fabulous hosts! We really appreciate the comfort, cleanliness and quality that this beautiful cottage provides. We have had a truly wonderful few days exploring the Dales in glorious weather. We look forward to returning and we leave you with our thanks and very best wishes.
Another wonderful visit. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts and thinking of absolutely everything! We were very busy with visits to Bolton Castle (I'm brilliant sunshine!), Harewood House to see the wonderful Turner/Jane Austen exhibition and Levens Hall House and Garden. The garden team were busy trimming the topiary!
Three years since we were last here. Reassuringly lovely. A very good week of walks and exploration. The weather influenced what was feasible. We walked around Richmond and Jervaulx Abbey in very dramatic conditions. A special mention on this occasion of the garden. It really does look splendid no matter what colour the skies above happen to be!
Had another lovely stay in this beautiful cottage. Hope to be back soon.
Our second visit (first in The Byre). Everything, as ever to a very high standard. Lovely part of the world and a comfortable, cosy cottage to enjoy the Dales. Perfect!
A lovely cottage. The best presented holiday cottage we have had the pleasure of staying in (excluding Inglenook!). The hospitality is second to none. Thank you Diane and Andrew for being the perfect hosts.
Another lovely holiday in this more than delightful cottage. Diane and Andrew perfect hosts as usual.
Another wonderful stay, despite the rain trying to spoil it! Got a couple of rides and walks in. Home from home.
Another lovely holiday staying in The Byre. Diane and Andrew are perfect hosts and couldn’t be more helpful and welcoming. The weather was superb and we have enjoyed Wharfedale, Wensleydale and Swaledale at their best - wild swimming in Wharfedale, walking in Wensleydale and Swaledale, and seeing the red squirrels near Hawes and the sheepdog demonstration. We had one day of rain which we spent at the Dales Countryside Museum - a very compact & interesting museum, well worth a visit. Every room in The Byre is a joy to be in. We will be back. Thanks for everything,
Our first stay at The Byre and enjoyed it just as much as Inglenook. The warmest of welcomes from Diane and Andrew and the highest quality and standards as usual. Booked for 2027 already!
A second perfect stay. Mostly good weather. Thanks.
A beautiful cottage furnished to a really high standard in a wonderful location. Perfect!
Our third return to the lovely Byre here in Newbiggin. Honestly felt like returning to a long lost home - warm and welcoming, beautifully turned out and welcoming. All this thanks to our wonderful hosts, Andrew and Diane. Thank you again for designing, maintaining and continuing to make The Byre available, to us and so many others who look forward to being here.
