"Had a very pleasurable stay at the Byre."
The cottage is lovely, well equipped and in a fantastic location. The scenery around is very beautiful and we really had the feeling of being away from it all. The owner Mike was great, very friendly, with lots of useful information and very accommodating. Additionally we had two bikes and we were able to leave them in locked garage when we went out, which was very convenient.
Many thanks for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner

"Superb cottage in every way."
Everything we could possibly need was there, including all cleaning materials. Covid -19 precautions were 1st class and we felt very safe. Our hosts were charming and made us so welcome, with a lovely pot of tea and biscuits on arrival. This spot is a haven of peace and quiet in wonderful countryside.

"We really enjoyed our stay at The Byre."
The cottage had been cleaned to a very high standard and from the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and able to relax. The views and surrounding countryside were truly stunning and it was all on our doorstep! The owners had thought of everything to make the cottage a comfortable, enjoyable and safe place to stay. We wish we had booked a longer visit and we would definitely consider staying there again.

"The scenery in the North Pennines is glorious and this comfortable cottage has wonderful views."
As listed, the kitchen is well equipped but small whilst the rest of the cottage is very spacious for three people. There is a large floor standing boiler in the kitchen which gives excellent heating and hot water to both properties but does make things a bit awkward. To find The Byre from the north east just go up Weardale to Lanehead and turn in to the left just after the tractor sign - the listing makes this more complicated than it is. The tea tray was laid out for us on arrival with nice biscuits and there is milk in the fridge, coffee, salt and pepper and stock cubes in the cottage. Wi-fi was sporadic but is good enough for e-mails and finding out about local attractions. The Alston to Penrith road is closed for five weeks so if you plan to go to the Lakes from here you will have to find another way. With excellent double glazing and trees planted along the road traffic noise is reduced but you will hear motor bikes particularly at the weekends and Bank Holidays - they love the Dales and sound like they are coming through the property! The highlight for us was seeing a red squirrel by the garage - first time in a lot of years. The owners are friendly and welcoming but take warmer clothes and rain wear as the weather can be as spectacular as the scenery!

"We arrived at the cottage with the intention of exploring the local area during our stay however we found the cottage so comfortable that we hardly ventured out."
We were made most welcome by our hosts and nothing appeared too much trouble. We had a little difficulty in the dark finding the driveway to the cottage where an indication to the close proximity of the drive to the beware tractor sign approaching from the East may have helped us but this in no way distracted us from our 4 days at this delightful residence.
