  • "Recently spent a lovely relaxing week at the Byre, the property, location and view is truly breathtaking!"

    Must admit considering the cost of the holiday having to spend 2 hours cleaning the property and being asked to have the towels washed and tumble dried prior to us leaving when we had only been left 1 bath towel, a bath sheet and 2 face towels for the entire week then having to vacate by 9.15am wasn't the best.... We both found the outdoor seating could be improved also, you could quite easily spend most of the day just relaxing taking in the scenery but the rattan furniture wasn't comfortable at all, hopefully it will be improved for our next visit. We will definitely be going back to the Old Byre as the scenery is just amazing, just next time hopefully there's more towels and better seating that allows you to relax outside.

  • "Another very relaxing and comfortable stay."

    The cottage was just as we remembered it, although the weather wasn’t as kind to us. The indoor games room and wonderful hot tub kept us entertained. Martyn was available and on hand when needed. We loved listening to the birdsong all day and watching the wildlife. A wonderful, memorable & relaxing holiday with my family. A big thank you to Martyn, you are a great host and you know how much we love your property and we’d love to return.

  • "Fabulous location and great facilities."

    Comfortable beds and very well equipped kitchen. We thought the 9.30 am check out was very early…. We spent our last evening preparing for check out rather than completely relaxing and enjoying our last night. Having to get up at 7.30 am on our holiday to be out by 9.30 am seemed a little harsh. A later check in to enable cleaning time would be preferable. Other than that, we had an amazing time and Martyn couldn’t have been more helpful.

    It's a very peaceful place lovely and quite our son and dogs had a blast in all that open space. Only a short drive back to the village which has some nice shops and a morrisons. We will definitely return but pick a month where we might nit have as much rain. Fantastic weekend eating nice meals and relaxing in the hot tub. The welcome prosecco was a lovely touch also

    The cottage is not far from some nice walks and High Force waterfall. You can either walk from the cottage or get in the car for a short distance to access these depending on your ability. We had one very rainy day whilst here and made the most of the games room which was great for both us and the kids. The pool table could do with a little tlc but was usable and was probably just more noticeable given the standard of the rest of the property. The cottage is done to a high standard and very comfortable. The hot tub was particularly great after a long walk! Overall we would definitely love to come back again.

    The property was clean and well decorated, the beds were extremely comfortable. The addition of the hot tub made it extra special looking out at the beautiful surroundings. It had everything you needed for a great holiday . I have just one suggestion , it would be nice to have a heated towel rail as because it is underfloor heating you have no where to dry your towels . We didn’t want to put them in the dryer with them not being washed as we wouldn’t know which towel ours was and would be wasteful to do one at a time and also very time consuming.

    The cottage was really clean and everything had been thought of from, hot tub, kitchen facilities to large TVs in each bedroom. To top it off there is a games room contained within the annex that we made great use of. The views are beautiful from the cottage and there are walks nearby. I would recommend going to see High Force. Our only suggestion to improve this cottage would be some form of cover for the hot tub so it can be enjoyed in all weathers however would not mark the stay down for this as it is a truly beautiful cottage/location which was ideal for us and our dog. The owners were extremely helpful and easy to contact and we’re always quick to response. Would highly recommend!

    The "we" being three couples and long time friends from different parts of the country. The Old Byre was a marvellous place to meet up. The house was immaculate and our host always keen to please with attention to detail, as were Sykes. The weather was in our favour, sometimes hot, sometimes chilly, but always dry so we were able to make the most of the wide patio with the hot tub and wonderful views of Teesdale. The house is in a great place for exploring the area - Eggleston Hall Gardens, Raby Castle, Bowes Museum etc as well as the big outdoors on local walks and High & Low Force Waterfalls and the delightful Hannah Hauxwell's Meadow. (Practical suggestions - bedroom reading lights needed please. As mentioned in the Guest Book several times the towels were small for a prestigeous property, and only five seats in the lounge for six guests. Space limited but a comfortable folding seat maybe?)

  • "Lovely property full of modern amenities."

    Underfloor heating is spot on, beds are comfy (although the fitted sheets didn't quite fit properly). Views from the property are lovely, and just a short drive from some really amazing waterfalls! No heater in the games room which was not ideal for winter. Very secluded with a lovely garden and hot tub. Would recommend!

    Thankyou for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed all on offer including the amazing views and hot tub. Due to the large size of the games room , with it being a converted double garage it can be colder on winter nights. Unfortunately due to regulations and insurance we cant install a large heater by law. So for a few weeks a year it may be chilly in winter without coats etc but we have to obey all regulations to keep everyone safe. Hope that explains it. We very much hope to see you all again in the future. Property Owner

    It felt like a home from home, as it was so well equipped. The beds were very comfortable, the mattresses were spotless. The house was warm, clean and comfortable. Martyn was a very attentive host and offered earlier checkin as soon as the property was ready. Everything felt so easy, all televisions were logged in to a range of apps. There was plenty of dishwasher tablets and toilet roll, and a welcome gift. The Old Byre is a lovely place to unwind. The only improvement would be later checkout, getting out for 9:30 was a mission! We will definitely return

    Thank you for that lovely review. We are thrilled that you all loved celebrating New Years Eve at The Old Byre. You were all fantastic guests and thankyou for leaving the property in such a tidy manor. It was hugely appreciated. Checkout has moved from 10 to 930 recently. We always keep this under review. As the property can take 2 people 5 hours to reset it can be very close to get ready in time. We always offer early check in once its ready if we can. We will keep this under constant review. Once again thank you so much for staying with us and we cant wait to see you all again. All the best Property Owner

    From contact with Martyn before our break away, we asked for some adjustments to be made in regards to our stay,and he was more than accommodating. When we arrived at the electric gates, and drove through, it was stunning, a little estate in its own grounds, 360 degree views of the stunning hills surround the cottage, wrapped around by lovely traditional stone walls, beautiful little beck ran down one side where sheep grazed on the other side of the trees. A double garage to park in front of, as the Fabulous games room lay behind the double electric doors, pool table, table tennis, dart board, huge TV and a beer fridge!

  • "Wow. What to say about The Old Byre."

    .. An absolutely stunning property on every part. Set in a gorgeous rural area with friendly neighbour cows in the back, the grounds are gorgeous and well kept - loads of space for outdoor games or outdoor entertaining, plus a lovely little swing set for the kids which ours loved (age 9 and 7). The games room in the outbuilding is perfect with pool, ping ping and darts. The main house itself is really stunning, it has been decorated and set up with all your needs at the heart, there's really nothing missing. Top spec kitchen/diner with absolutely everything you need and I mean everything, plus a massive fridge freezer so loads of space for food and booze for the week. Both bedrooms in the main house are also gorgeous - perfect size with plenty of storage and space to get ready, both have smart tvs and lovely bathrooms - the freestanding bath was a big hit for us. And wow - the beds were massive and as comfy as clouds. The living room is lovely and snug equipped with a massive smart TV, log burner, blankets and stocked with family board games. My favourite part was the utility room - having a washer and dryer on holiday in the winter was a big hit haha. The 3rd bedroom was in the outbuilding and was equally gorgeous and considered, again with smart TV and absolutely stunning wetroom bathroom. Oh, and there's a beautiful big and fancy hot tub, which heats up super quick and has Bluetooth speakers. The owner left us a gorgeous welcome pack and was available to text at any point. They were very lovely and seemed to really care about us having a nice time, but absolutely left us to it and allowed us to enjoy the space as our own. Perfect hosts!! Overall: great value, amazing house with top spec facilities, spectacular scenery, great location and super host! Our week at the Old Byre could not have been any better. Thank you!

    We are absolutely blown away by your review. Thank you so much for your lovely words. It’s always amazing to hear back that guests have made full use of everything on offer.

    He sent a video walk through of the property before arrival, which was a fantastic idea (the first time we have had this in all our years of renting holiday cottages). The cottage was just as beautiful as the photos. Everything available that you would require during your stay. The cottage is located well we feel, travelling to Windermere (90mins away) Seaham (60mins away) and Beamish is also not very far! Barnard castle is 10 minutes away in the car too. Middleton, similar, in the opposite direction. You really would not be disappointed by renting this property. We would love to go back!

    The Old Byre is an amazing place to stay, the location is secluded and silent, the nearest property is 200+ meters away. The Byre has been exquisitely renovated and decorated, every detail has been carefully thought of making our stay faultless. From the welcoming messages from Martyn ahead of our journey here, to the lovely welcome pack, to the hot tub being ready for our arrival these gestures made our stay extra special. There is lots to visit in the area, we were lucky enough to catch the Eggleston Farm show, but also visited Eggleston Gardens, High & Low Force, Barnard Castle, Grassholme reservoir, Middleton and thoroughly enjoyed all. There is even an observatory at Grassholme reservoir, unfortunately we were thwarted by the weather. We are already booked for next year so better luck then.

The hot tub was fabulous for us all (except the baby)! My granddaughter made good use of the swings and loved the huge garden! Also the board games supplied and outdoor toys, very thoughtfully provided. The cooker and fridge freezer were a generous size with the ice-maker a welcome feature! During colder months the log burner would be well used, it was almost a shame it wasn't cold enough to use it! It was handy having so many bathrooms, especially when some of us went down with a sickness bug, plus the availability of washer and drier a godsend. I don't think we will ever find a better holiday home, we have been spoiled at The Old Byre and look forward to returning at some point in future.
