What Our Guests Say...

  • Our third stay at The Byre and, as always, we’ve had such a wonderful chilled and relaxed long weekend. The cottage is so cosy at this time of year and we’ll be sad to leave in the morning. Carvery at The Street Head Inn is amazing and staff really friendly and welcoming. Diane was as welcoming as can be and all the provisions appreciated.
    Returning Guests from Matlock, Derbyshire - November 2026
  • Thank you once again for making us welcome at our favourite cottage. We will be back.
    Returning Guests from East Bierley, West Yorkshire - October 2026
  • Yet gain a very warm welcome and a brilliant, comfy stay. Diane and Andrew even managed to lay on better weather for us than the forecasts gave - impressive! We always thought The Byre was pretty perfect but Diane has managed to come up with additions that it even better. The Himalayan Gardens and Sculpture Park are definitely worth a visit. We are already looking forward to our next visit in 2027 - and in 2028.

  • Our fifth time at this wonderful cottage. So lovely to see Diane and Andrew and a great welcome as always. Weather has been amazing, lovely to walk in. Found a great place to eat in Bedale called Hamson - expensive but worth it. A great app for walking - the new Yorkshire Dales app. Did Cotter Force, Garsdale, Grimwith, Old Gang, Semerwater & Smardale Gill - really easy to follow. Also Aysgarth. Excellent pizzas at the White Goose Pizza Co. Made use of the 25% off Newby Hall voucher - very lovely hall and gardens. As always it’s been an excellent stay. Thank you so much Diane and Andrew for everything. See you in 2028.
