Previous visitors' comments about The Byre:
Very relaxing and the owners were very welcoming and helpful. Plenty of wood for the log burner and considering the weather conditions, this was a boon.
Mr Hickey, Bishop Auckland, March 2013
Very welcoming hosts. The food hamper was great! Comfy and exceptionally clean. Very well equipped, the hosts added little touches like tin foil, food bags, a stock cube and salt and pepper- always the things I forget! Mostly suitable for a little toddler. Travel cot and high chair and a child friendly fire guard provided. We would stay again, it was one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.
