"Lovely cottage."
Ideally located for NYMR, Pickering and Whitby. Our second stay here. Highly recommend
-
"This a very nice holiday cottage."
In a quiet location with good off-street parking. Inside the kitchen/diner is well setup and well equipped. Upstairs is the large lounge leading to a double bedroom. Because it is an old barn conversion the walls are thick and inside is very quiet and peaceful. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. A great place to stay and to use as a base to explore the Moors, the Steam Railway and the North Yorkshire coastline !

"Thank you so much for a fabulous stay at Cow Byre, we had a wonderful time (and were blessed with great weather too!"
). The cottage is a beautiful conversion, the photos don’t do it justice. Lovely and comfortable, very well equipped and incredibly relaxing. It is very private, located across a courtyard, with a sunny private patio and its own parking space. The location of the cottage is superb, we were able to drive through the most scenic countryside to so many fabulous places. Highly recommended.

Facilities and little extras way above expectations. Warm welcome and introduction to property then left to enjoy our break whilst knowing owners were on hand if needed. Clear easy instructions in the property for heating etc. Highly recommended, the best example of how a holiday let should be.

"A lovely, clean, well equipped cottage in a perfect location for touring the area."
Cow Byre has been converted beautifully into a fully functioning holiday home. Nice to return to at the end of the day, to the private courtyard and enjoy the late evening sun before tea.

It is always a delight to stay there we hope to go back soon.

"Can not fault this excellent country cottage, will book again."

"What a wonderful place to stay!"
Cannot fault it. One of the few places we have stayed at in which we felt we could live in permanently rather than tolerate for a short while. Would happily return.

The cottage was amazing verry cozy and a lovely town and the owner was also lovely and berry welcoming with tea on arrival and biscuits was all very clean and nice would defiantly recommend
-

Bed linen and towels were clean and nice.
-
"Cosy cottage which was very clean & well equipped"
-
"A really lovely cottage."
Although set at the back of the owners home, it was very secluded and private. Very clean with everything you needed. Totally agree with another reviewer who said that the photos don't do the property justice. Far more spacious than we thought it would be. We would thoroughly recommend this property.
-
"It was very cosy and spotlessly clean."
The bed was comfy and the fully tiled shower room was great. The washing machine and drying area was very useful after a days biking. We loved the small essential pack of milk, tea and posh chocolate biscuits!
-
"My boyfriend and I have just returned from a fantastic and very relaxing stay here."
The location was stunning, as well as very convenient for visiting places such as Whitby, York and Scarborough. Wrelton is an extremely picturesque village and the surrounding villages and countryside are incredibly pretty. The cottage itself exceeded all expectations. The photos do not do it's size and attention to detail justice. We had everything we needed and more during our stay. The owners have thought of just about everything. We made use of the washing machine and dishwasher and had a lovely cooked breakfast sitting outside in the private courtyard. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the furniture and decoration gave the cottage a very cosy and homely feel. We briefly met one of the owners, Martin, who was very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the respect for privacy, which made us feel even more at home. I would certainly highly recommend Cow Byre Cottage to other people and we would both love to visit again. Please pass on our thanks to Gayle and Martin.

The hosts were very friendly and while we were staying at the bottom of their own property, it felt very private and it was great to have our own, off-road parking space.

"Unfortunately due to lockdown we had to leave half way through our break,however the few days we spent at cow byre were really enjoyable."
The cottage is really well situated for visits to local places such as Whitby,Scarborough and a trip on the North Yorkshire steam railway is a must from Pickering to Whitby. The local pub is just around the corner and serves a good variety of food and drink. I would highly recommend this cottage you won’t be disappointed

Would have benefited from upstairs bathroom and new mattress. Excellent location close to Pickering and moors.

-
"We have been to the cottage a few times now."
If this was our first visit it would have exceeded our expectations. Its a lovely place to stay. We got a very nice welcome present which was much appreciated. We were left to enjoy our stay with the reassurance that if we needed anything we could just call on the owners. We had a wonderful Christmas break. Can't recommend it enough. Hazel and Terry Clegg

"The property is spotless and has easy access to Pickering, Malton, and the coast."
The cottage is set back from the main road and very quiet at night. The owners are most thoughtful and have equipped the house from dishwasher tablets to hair dryer, and even an umbrella! There is a lovely small play area in the village, which comes very handy. Would definitely recommend.

we loved it here as it was so quiet and the property was very well equipped. we enjoyed sitting outside in the sun having our tea in the courtyard, enjoying a glass of wine while listening to the birds etc. it was a home from home and always nice to come back to after a day of exploring Yorkshire and we would stay here again no problem at all, recommend to everyone
-
"Delightful well thought out conversion spacious thoroughly enjoyable stay quiet location excellent village pub food"
-
"Cow Byre cottage is ideally situated to explore the area."
The cottage is very well equipped and the owners had provided some teabags, milk, biscuits and fresh fruit on our arrival. The cottage is nice and private with a secure parking space. Since the owners live in the adjacent house, we had expected to be greeted by them and wished farewell at the end of our stay which didn't happen, but we did speak with them during the week when we came across them and we were asked if we had any questions at that point. We enjoyed our visit and would go again.
-
"The cottage is in a great location for exploring the North Yorkshire moors."
The cottage is really well equipped and much bigger than it looks in the photos. I’d definitely recommend it to friends and family.
-
"We spent 2 extremely comfortable weeks at Cow Byre Cottage, it had everything you would expect and more."
Gayle and Martin were great, on hand if needed but never intrusive. The cottage itself is a 2 minute walk from the local pub which serves great food an appetite for which can be built by going on one of the many lovely walks in the area.
-
"An excellent cottage very clean and very comfortable."
