Byre Cottage

Very lovely cottage!

Clean, well maintained and well equipped. Very appreciated welcome pack. Set in beautiful surroundings. Good base for Lake District and North Yorkshire. Very friendly local pub with very good food. Highly recommended!

Ingrid, the host, was welcoming and friendly and offered reassurance that she was on hand throughout our stay.

Not that we needed anything! The accommodation was superb, full of character but modern, well-equipped and immaculate. The location is superb - Great Asby is a small, picturesque village but Appleby, Kirkby Stephen and The Lakes are within easy reach. It was perfect for our family stay and we certainly hope to return soon!

Lovely and very well equipped barn cottage great hosts and wonderful welcome pack Local pub very friendly and good food Hope to be back Alison D

Our second visit to Byre Cottage and everything was just as lovely.

The downstairs bedrooms were a boon in the warm weather and ample storage space and generous towel supply was great. Very well equipped kitchen upstairs and comfortable furniture. Ingrid was a very kind and helpful host.

A beautiful barn conversion, everything has a luxury feel and is immaculate.

Very well equipped, everything provided you would ever need. Very friendly and helpful owners. Set in a sleepy small village which still has a very popular pub ‘The three Greyhounds’ which does great food. Very well placed for exploring the Dales, Lake District and beyond. We were there in June in the first heatwave and the upstairs living area did get very warm with not much ventilation. Bedrooms downstairs were cooler but in normal conditions it would be a very cosy base!

I would like to say what a charming cottage and lovely person Ingrid the owner was.

Would recommend to family and friends.Plenty of places to visit in the area plus The Three Grey Hounds Inn is very welcoming,does nice food in the evening and is only 250 metres down the road from Byre Cottage.Would certainly go back in the future. Mick.

Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful location.

Much appreciated welcome pack on arrival. The cottage had everything you could need for a perfect stay. The owner was friendly and welcoming. The cleanliness was second to none. Would highly recommend.

The cottage and owner was very welcoming and comfortable.

The cottage is set in a lovely area and we would certainly visit again.

The property was welcoming , clean and a joy to stay there.

Our host Ingrid met us and was extremely helpful and friendly. Highly reccomend Byre Cottage to anyone who wants a quaint getaway. Great Asby is a storybook location and this cottage is absolutley charming .

Just had a most relaxing week in Byre Cottage.

Everything about the stay was spot on. The warm, friendly welcome from Ingrid when we arrived. The warm, comfortable, well equipped accommodation and the quiet, peaceful surroundings where the cottage is situated. Add to this the easily accessible nearby market towns of Appleby, Penrith and Sedbergh ideal for exploring their history and for their range of independent shops offering lots of fine local produce. The area is interesting and has lots to offer. The cottage itself is perfect and we can highly recommend it to other visitors. Thanks again to Ingrid for letting us have such a memorable and well earned break. John, Susan and Lyndsay Stanton

We had the most amazing stay at Byre Cottage.

We stayed for 1 week in August with our 2 boys aged 8 & 10. Ingrid Is the most lovely host, she greeted us on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the week. We got a lovely welcome pack containing the essentials (milk butter, bread and more!). The barn is in a beautiful and very quiet location, the local pub is just a few minutes walk and so so welcoming and friendly, the food is also very good! The accommodation was perfect it had absolutely everything we needed and was so so clean and tidy. It felt very comfortable. The outside area was also great and the boys loved playing on the grass in the evenings. It is the perfect location if you would like to explore different areas of the Lake District annd North Yorkshire. About 30minutes from Ullswater and just a little further to Windermere & Keswick. You can also do walks from the doorstep as it is in a beautiful location. The nearest shop was only about a 5min drive away in Appleby. We would love to stay again, thank you so much to our hosts :-)

An excellent property in a charming, historical village.

Ingrid, the owner, has taken great care to ensure that it is comfortable and well presented and included a most useful welcome pack. It is one of the best holiday properties we have visited.

The property was all we could have wanted and more.

Clean and tidy, a welcome pack on arrival. Light and airy with plenty of space but cosy. Met by Ingrid who was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble and answered our questions immediately. Ingrid was also at the end of a phone/text if we had any questions during our stay. Would certainly return and definitely recommend Ingrid and the property.

We had a lovely week in this cottage.

Everything you could want for a home from home holiday. Our host, Ingrid had left a lovely welcome pack, came and introduced herself, showed us around and helped with anything we needed. A truly lovely spot with a pub just next door which served great food.

Byre Cottage is absolutely lovely in the beautiful village of Great Asby.

Thank you to Ingrid for a being a great host. We'll be back!

We had a wonderful stay in Byre Cottage.

The property is in a beautiful location, with access to many places of interest. We loved Appleby and Kirkby Stephen which are very close, plus Rutter Falls, a totally unexpected bonus with very easy access. The upside down layout works well, providing spacious living accommodation, comfortably furnished and well equipped. The en-suite bedrooms have sleep inducing beds in generously sized rooms. The local pub is very close and well worth a visit; the village itself is delightful and offers many opportunities to go walking or just meander around. We would love to go back.

Beautiful property and well maintained.

Host was exceptionally welcoming, kindly providing milk, butter, bread and eggs, tea and coffee. Beds were very comfortable, plenty of storage for clothing. Powerful shower over the bath and good electric shower in the other ensuite. Lovely maintained outside seating area. Friendly local pub in easy walking distance - book a table in advance. Lovely village walks. Whatever the weather we always found something to do/visit.

After a long flight from Australia and feeling very tired Byre Cottage was the perfect haven for us - a beautifully appointed, comfortable and quaint barn conversion cottage in a small village nestled in picturesque countryside.

Our host Ingrid was lovely, attentive to our needs and willing to provide advice when requested while being maintaining our privacy and allowing us to enjoy and maximize our stay. We would recommend Byre Cottage to anyone who wants to stay in a quiet village but in good location to all of the Lake District and Cumbria’s tourist sites and who appreciates comfort and a high standard of hospitality and support when needed. Thanks again Ingrid for a most wonderful stay at Byre Cottage.

A beautiful, spacious, clean, and well maintained cottage with all the facilities.

Couldn't be improved on.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable and if your after a quiet, relaxing holiday with plenty of walking this is the place for you. I would highly recommend Byre cottage.

The cottage was lovely, diffrent having bedrooms downstairs, Everything you needed was there, could not ask for more.

Ingrid was on hand if you needed anything. The village was lovely and the people very friendly

Excellent in everyway accommodation , location , surrounding area, if your looking for a hidden gem this is the place to be.

We would highly recommend this holiday cottage to anyone. Thank you to Ingrid & Terry for allowing us to stay in your lovely property. Regards Roger and Sandra Newton le Willows.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week at Byre cottage.

It is located in a very picturesque village, a real "get away from it all" place, yet still close to the lake district and north Pennines. The cottage is beautifully furnished and comfortable with everything we needed. Ingrid, the owner, met us on arrival and was very welcoming. The owners live next door, so on hand if needed, but not in any way intrusive. Looking at the guest book, people return time after time. I can understand why. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily visit again in the future.

Lovely clean property with everything that is needed.

Helpful owners. Would stop here again. Nice short walk to the village pub that serves nice food with friendly staff

Byre Cottage is in a pretty village with a local pub close by.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The owners were very welcoming and responded very quickly to a small issue with the hot water. The staircase is wooden open treads and fairly steep which can be a bit of a challenge for someone with mobility issues. The bed linen and towels were really good quality and the beds so comfortable. Be aware that the mobile phone coverage is patchy especially Vodafone. However the WiFi was excellent. Thank you for a good stay.

We had a great week in Byre Cottage which was lovely.

It was very clean and had everything we could have needed for our stay. One of the best we’ve stayed in. Its location allowed us to visit and walk in both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District which we did every day, despite some inclement weather at times! Our hosts Terry and Ingrid were great hosts and very promptly sorted out a problem we had with the heating. We couldn’t have had better service. The Three Greyhounds pub, just a couple of minutes walk away served delicious food and was very reasonably priced. All in all a brilliant week!

Absolutely beautiful cottage very friendly welcome along with essentials bread milk tea coffee sugar jam as nearest shop is 5 miles away pub was very friendly an 2 minutes walk away well recommended an definitely will be returning

Perfect location for the Lakes and Dales.

Super Cottage and thank the Host for the excellent Welcome Pack. Our Holiday was enhanced by perfect weather.

Well organised and equipped.

Tastefully decorated and very well presented.

Beautiful property and everything we needed for a relaxing holiday.

Byre Cottage rated highly amongst the best accommodation we have ever stayed in.

Lots of thoughtful provision had been made for our comfort and enjoyment. The cottage is set in a very pleasant village location and it is an excellent base for walking or touring locally or further afield

Excellent location for Lakrs and Dale's great facilit Excellent location for Lakes and Dale's.

Great facilities. A little remote.

Byre Cottage was lovely, we had a very relaxing week there.

It was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Ingrid, our host, was really welcoming. Cumbria is so beautiful it’s certainly worth a visit. We hope to come back again soon.

Byre Cottage is beautiful and charming.

The decoration and furnishings are excellent. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen/diner is a lovely area to eat in. Our host was so nice and really helpful. We had great weather and it was delightful to sit in the garden. The village is quiet and the nearby village pub came in very handy.

The property was brillant in every way

Wonderful stay.

Ideal location and property was spotlessly clean, well maintained and so quiet. Very comfy beds made it a supremely relaxing stay.

Great property and location to explore Lake District, Cumbria and North Yorkshire.

Very welcoming arrival by owner and property is of very high standard. Both double bedrooms are ensuite and downstairs, while all living space is upstairs, which works really well. Very well appointed and located in a lovely small village with many walks around the area. Plenty of parking for vehicles(we had two) and only a few minutes drive from nearest towns with amenities etc. Will definitely use again and highly recommend for two couples sharing.

I have nothing but praise for this cottage.

The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, we had a lovely welcome from the owner who showed me how to operate the heating then left us to explore the cottage. The owner was also great at communicating when I had a question. The cottage is a very respectfully and high quality barn conversion that, while had high ceilings was lovely and warm and completely cobweb free. I would highly recommend a stay at Byre Cottage and will definitely stay there again.

Great accommodation, clean and comfortable and a warm welcome from Ingrid the owner.

Well placed for a walking holiday. Would highly recommend this property.

Excellent converted barn.

Very warm and comfortable and really well equipped with everything one would need in all the rooms. Comfortable beds, lovely linen and spotlessly clean throughout. A credit to the owners.

Very enjoyable stay at Byre Cottage.

A warm welcome from the owner. Cottage was immaculately clean and very well equipped. A very nice and quiet setting. Only one little drawback, no phone signal. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Lovely cosy & warm cottage, beds very comfortable, And everything you need for a great getaway is there, Generous welcome pack ( milk butter bread tea & coffee & biscuits) was such a thoughtful gesture, Ingrid ( the owner) welcomed us on arrival & explained everything, & made us feel us very welcome

This is a wonderful property in a lovely little village.

The owner was very helpful and nothing was a problem. We will be arranging another holiday here as there is so much more to visit.

Great location for the Dales and Lakes.

Imogen couldn't have been a better host.

Absolutely Fabulous stay @ the Byre Cottage, everything that you could have thought of was included.

Exceptionally clean, lovely quite village with a nice local pub. Definitely will be visiting again. 10 *

Home from home.

We loved our two week stay in Byre Cottage. Ingrid was very accommodating and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. The cottage was very clean and well equipped and in a beautiful and quiet location.

Byre Cottage is an absolutely charming place to stay.

The owner seems to have thought of everything. My friend and I went for some much needed peace and quiet and rest. The property is comfortable, extremely well located to explore Cumbria, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, which I have to say we did very little of as that was not the purpose of our stay. It was quiet - perfect for a re-set. The bedrooms are both en-suite and beautifully appointed, with large comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. Being an upside down layout the living area and kitchen are upstairs, which we thought was just perfect. We had a supermarket delivery on our first day and did any 'top up' shopping for essentials in Appleby. I can't say enough on how beautiful this place is, as a couple of 'Townies' it is completely different to what we're used to and we would both thoroughly recommend it to anyone. We would both happily go back, either together or on our own. GO - see for yourself !

The cottage was lovely, being within easy reach of the lakes (by car) and a great pub just down the road.

The cottage was well appointed and clean, and ideal for two couples as both rooms had ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen area was large as also was the living room.

We had an absolutely great stay at this lovely barn converted cottage.

There is everything in the cottage that is required. The cottage and the accessories be it in the kitchen, the living and bed rooms are at their best. Everything in the cottage is of very high quality and the cottage itself is spotless. The kitchen is beautifully designed. The surroundings of the cottage is stunningly beautiful. The village has a warm welcoming heart ❤ and the people are very friendly. The owners are superb

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, well-appointed barn, where every comfort was catered for in this high-spec property.

We will certainly come again!

On arrival we were greeted by the owner who was very friendly and helpful.

The cottage was exceptionally clean, very warm and cozy. Kitchen is very well equipped with everything we needed. Logs provided for the stove but we didn't actually use it. Location was perfect, quiet, peaceful and relaxing which is just what we needed away from our normal busy lives. We did some lovely walks in the surrounding areas and even managed to see red squirrels. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage it is beautiful

We had everything we needed,owner was very friendly, she left the basics that we needed ie bread, butter,milk etc,beautiful countryside would recommend to anyone

Nothing else to say it was perfect .

Beautiful place . Fantastic scenery . Lots of good walks and lovely people . 10 out of 10

Byre Cottage was beautifully clean and tidy with really good quality bedding, towels and kitchen appliances/cutlery/crockery.

The property was really spacious with plenty of storage. The little garden was planted really nicely and we had the choice of two benches for sitting outside. The location is wonderfully quiet, with the beck running just in front, the village of interesting old houses and fields all around. You would definitely need a car as the bus service was very limited but we didn't to drive a great deal as Appleby is 10 minutes away and Penrith 30 mins.

Fantastic immaculate cottage

The cottage is in the most wonderful village.

It is very pretty and has a real community spirit. The village pub "The Greyhound" is fantastic, serving all the locals and visitors with great food and a warm welcome. The owner of Byre Cottage greeted us on arrival and came to say goodbye when we left. She was so keen to help us in any way. The cottage was spotless. We had a wonderful week.

This cottage was just perfect, it is beautiful and spotlessly clean.

Ingrid met us on arrival and was so friendly and helpful. A generous welcome pack shows the care and attention to detail that makes a great host. This area has a lot to offer, easy to reach the Lakes and the villages in between a joy to visit. Lovely walks and scenery. Local pub great too, make sure to visit them. We just wanted to stay longer.

The accomodation was high standard really well thought out felt comfortable and a lovely welcome pack of goodies.

Greeted on arrival to check all okay and how to work everything. Pub really friendly good food in walking distance and a pretty village to walk round loved driving over moors dodging sheep to get home each day. Although lots of small roads in and out of village to use.

It was a great holiday the cottage was brilliant with everything you needed and we even had good weather highly recommended.

Excellent cottage with high quality interior.

Everything is top notch. Both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District are easily reached. Good selection of pubs around (the pub in the village - 200 yds away - is currently on restricted opening due to COVID) plus takeaways in Appleby. Broadband worked well. One of the best cottages we’ve stayed in.

Byre Cottage was perfect!

We loved every minute! The Cottage is finished to a very high standard and is very well equipped. The area is beautiful, we did a few walks from the village which were great! The local pub was within a minutes walk and they were lovely and friendly! Food good too!! We will definitely be returning ~ thank you for a wonderful week! X

Byre cottage is lovely.

Very tastefully decorated and very homely. Lovely village with friendly people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though the weather was a mixed bag. Great Asby is a lovely area and great for walking. Terry and Ingrid are very nice and we had a few very informative chats with them about the cottage and village. On the whole i would recommend Byre Cottage for comfort, cleanliness, and the area of the dales for a vacation. The local pub served basic pub grub which was very nice and the owners were very knowledgeable of the history of the pub and the area and very friendly...would love to return one day...x

We had a very comfortable stay at Byre Cottage with a nice welcome from the owners.

It was well equipped, nice and warm and very clean. Its a great area to stay with quiet roads and the cottage is situated in a lovely village. We hope to go again next year.

We had a lovely and very much needed trip away in a gorgeous cottage.

The location is quiet but bear in mind the nearest shop is some way away, it wasn't an issue for us as we came well prepared but it could catch some out if not planned for. The local pub is just a minutes walk away with some lovely walks from the front door or further afield if desired. The cottage itself was spotless and we were very well catered for. The owner is very close by (in the most beautiful house can I add) so if you have any issues/ questions it is easy to address. The information and contact with the owner was brilliant and I would happily return if only I could get more time off work. Many thanks

What a lovely week we had, lovely cottage, stunning weather, and a beautiful area to explore.

Byre cottage was perfect, comfortable, clean and well equipped for all our needs. The added bonus was a field full of spring lambs right outside our front door. Hours of pleasure was spent watching from the house and garden. The owners were very helpful and friendly as were the local pub owners and staff. Highly recommended.

Nice cottage.

Well decorated, very clean and with good facilities.

The cottage was very well decorated.

It had been throughly cleaned and the hosts made sure they had followed all COVID advice. We had a relaxing week taking walks in the surrounding area. Love it and looking forward to returning.

Well appointed cottage in lovely area.

Spotlessly clean. Friendly welcome from owners who supplied a substantial welcome pack with all the essentials.

Beautiful cottage in a brilliant location.

Owner very friendly & welcoming. It has everything you need & more.

Spotlessly clean Cottage, in a quiet and scenic location.

Pub in walking distance.

The owners were very helpful, had done a great job of deep cleaning the property, were always available if we had any questions and had left us a welcome pack which was a nice touch.
