What our guests say

"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. "
