Guest Book - The Dairy
Another wonderful week at The Dairy. We finally tried the fish & chip van on Tuesday evening - really delicious. We also visited the Bake-Well bakery in Askrigg at Diane's suggestion and really glad we did. All in addition to our usual haunts. The cottage & our hosts, all always, perfect, with 'no detail' too small to be overlooked. We look forward to returning in the autumn when, hopefully, the last bastions of Covid & lockdown will be truly behind us and we can once again eat in at local eateries. That said, still a wonderful, perfect holiday in the meantime. Thank you Diane & Andrew for all you do. xx
.... and relax! As always, the cottage, the Dales & the Howarths have helped a sense of normality. Even the weather has behaved. Wonderful to be back and spend time in my happy place. See you in July! x
Another wonderful stay in The Dairy where the welcome is warm, the facilities fantastic and the ambience amazing! Nothing is too much trouble. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the complimentary milk, butter, cheese, biscuits etc a nice touch. The Rosé Terrace seating area is a great addition which enhances the property perfectly. We look forward as always to our return.
Another wonderful and idyllic stay here. Thank you for creating this fabulous and beautiful country retreat that we look forward to returning to year after year. Gorgeous scenery, luxury cottage, brilliant weather and fabulous hosts.
We waited 5 months for the chance to stay & were lucky enough to be the first guests back at The Dairy following a 3 month lockdown. Everything was perfect - including the weather! Diane & Andrew are perfect hosts - unobtrusive but so attentive. We can't wait to come back & totally understand why it is so popular.
The Dairy worked its magic
and gave us Christmas cheer.
It was just what we needed,
after such a dreadful year.
At times we were uncertain,
can we stay, or must we go.
The news - it worsened daily,
but Diane kept us in the know.
It’s been a different Christmas,
15 those we’ve done before.
But very happy, nonetheless,
which we’re so grateful for.
Now 2020 is behind us,
a New Year has begun.
We pray our war with Covid
will very soon be won!
So thank you Diane & Andrew
for everything you do.
This place is very special
and so indeed are you.
Well, visit number 6 to your wonderful Dairy! We're so sorry that due to lockdown number 2, our visit was shorter than planned. We have, however, had an amazing few days enjoyed sunshine, showers & snow! The Dales winter scenery has been amazing and just what we all need in these troubled times. Roll on our next visit and thank you both for making every visit to 'Cottage in the Dales' so very special.
Another wonderful stay at The Dairy that even the advent of lockdown couldn't spoil. Thank you Diane & Andrew for everything you do. We look forward to returning before too long.
Our second break here and fantastic, everything we could possibly need catered for. Wish we could have stayed longer. Fabulous. 10/10.
Very enjoyable stay, once more. Dairy is a wonderful place to stay & much appreciated.
Another wonderful stay in this fabulous cottage! Sadly, we had no luck with the weather this time, but it did mean we spent more time enjoying the luxuries of The Dairy! Thanks so much Diane & Andrew. We really needed this break x
Fabulous stay in The Dairy again - always a wonderful base in the Dales. See you soon.
We approach 94, slower and more forgetful, but even more appreciative of quality and comfort. We have been here before and will be back in March 2021.
An outstanding cottage in every respect. Thank you for your exceptional hospitality.
We're running out of superlatives for The Dairy. Can only endorse all of the glowing reviews of other guests. This has become our 'go to' place to relax and recharge, and this visit has been no exception. Thank you Diane & Andrew for making us so welcome. Look forward to future visits.
