"Lovely cottage, clean comfy and well equipped."
Nicely laid out and brilliant underfloor heating so nice and warm no faffing with messy log burners. excellent wifi books games and dvds if you fancy a quiet day/evening. Village has a good fish and chip shop very large portions we shared 1 portion. Pie shop/butchers good and local general shop. Close to saltburn redcar marske skinningrove 5-10 mins drive. whitby staiths ect 30 min drive. Lots of lovely walks in the area too. Owners are lovely very helpful. Dog field not fully enclosed which would be a little better if it was for our dog, as hes an escape artist who goes deaf at the sight of a rabbit ect. Very quiet peaceful location plus electric car charging too which isnt too expensive unlike some places.

"Great location for exploring the coast and the moors and dales."
My husband has mobility problems, this property was perfect for him and my dog enjoyed the large well mowed gardens and field. Lovely & helpful hosts too.

"The Cow Byre proved the ideal place for us."
We felt welcome right from the start. Everything we needed was right there, it made our stay so easy. We were new to the area so we went out and about each day to enjoy the wonderful beauty of the villages and beaches. The history of the area is fascinating and the Cow Byre was just the perfect place to go back to each evening. We were so lucky to have found it.
-
"The Cow Byre was situated in a very good location for exploring."
The cottage itself was very comfortable, clean and nicely equipped. We had one little irritation and that was the interior doors scraped the floor when opening and closing. The owners were friendly and helpful, and on seeing my mobility problems loaned me a walking frame. Overall we would recommend The Cow Byre and intend visiting again in the near future.

"A lovely warm and comfortable cottage which was ideal for us as it was all on one level and had a walk in shower."
Our two Jack Russells enjoyed the field.

"We were not 'on holiday' as such, but staying to be near family before half term."
First, the good bits. The owners are absolutely lovely, so friendly and welcoming. The views are spectacular and in summer it would undoubtedly be a fabulous place to walk etc. The beds are comfy and the underfloor heating very effective - no cold toes! But now, the cons. The following list will make it sound as if this place is horrible - it isn't. But it's only fair that people going here know. The single 'living room' is about 13ft square and has the kitchen, a dining table, the TV and a mismatched 'cottage' set of a two seater sofa and two chairs in it. The sofa in particular has springs which are on their last legs and the three flat cushions don't help much. The fridge is tiny, good job managing if you actually are the four adults the cottage nominally accommodates. There is nowhere to store food, so we had to just leave everything 'pantry' on surfaces including the windowsill. The bedding was very thin and not really adequate for October. This should be listed as 'basic' accommodation, because it really is quite bleak. But the main 'minus' is the peculiar smell in the kitchen, which was worse near the fridge. If I had to describe it I guess I would say 'dog' as in dirty dog in from rolling in something. We managed it with Febreze but it was rather unpleasant. As we were only there for four nights we lived with it, but it was nasty. Also the cleaning is a bit cursory - black mould around the bathroom sink plughole for instance. We all have it at home (guilty as charged!) but it should never be found in a rental.

"Had an absolutely fabulous time at the Cow Byre, situated in a very peaceful location but ideal to reach lots of places either along the coast or inland."
The property is great for the less mobile and if you take a pet the large field attached to the property is great...our dog loved chasing the ball every evening as we tired him out ! The owner is very helpful and the best thing of all was the electric charging point, no searching around for a charger and a reasonable price charged by Bill the owner. Overall a fantastic holiday , location and cottage.

Thanks very much for the feedback Very much appreciated Regards Bill and Sandra Property Owner

"So rare to find a property that is dog and wheelchair friendly."
Lovely cottage with everything one would need including wet room and a secure back patio. Enormous safe and secure field for dogs although the rabbits hopped it! Saw deer there too. Plenty of storage space and comfy beds. Village shops within walking distance. Helpful owners. Hope to return.

Really enjoyed our stay only 1 little niggling item toilet too low for wife (she disabled ) Many thanks to Bill and sandra

"Great space for the dogs"
-
"The property was perfect."
It is one of four situated in one building. The owners met us on arrival and were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay at the Cow Byre. Its location is very central to visit local places including Saltburn and Whitby. It’s also perfect if you have pooches as there is a field at the side of the property where they can have a run. Will definitely be visiting again, highly recommended.
-
"Good location."
As advertised. Bill a friendly chap, made us feel welcome. Would advise my friends to visit.
-
"Lovely cottage."
Very clean and everything you could need for a self catering holiday provided. Even supplied with towels/ tea towels /washing up liquid / hand-wash / loo rolls etc. Not something all accommodations think to provide.
-
"Fantastic accommodation attentive hosts lovely area would definitely use again."
-
"Ideal location for exploring the coast or moors."
Brilliant set up for dog owners with the walled yard and the nearby meadow exercise area .
-
"The cow Byre was excellent, very clean comfortable with all facilities provided."
The cottage are in a lovely rural setting with several friendly shops nearby,There are loads of places to visit around the area some like saltburn on sea a typical seaside resort just approx 3/4 miles away. Owners of the property are available for a chat & advice if needed We had a very enjoyable stay & would not hesitate to stay again on our return to to the area
-
"We look forward to stopping again when we return to the UK next."
Thank you
-
"Well located, clean, competitively priced and quiet."
Somewhat functional. A useful option for those with limited mobility. Make sure you bring everything you need for the first night.
-
"Beautiful cottage with lots of room ."
Safe environment for the dogs to be in . Wonderful touch having wine and chocolates to greet us .
-
"From start to finish this was a great stay."
Welcomed by Sandra, then Bill the owners, it was obvious nothing was too much trouble. Bill gave us some good tips of where the best dog friendly walks were nearby. The cottage was warm, fairly spacious and ideal for our needs. A large field to the rear gave us a safe place for doggy needs. Wifi was very reliable and a good speed. TV was free view but excellent signal. Due to directions prior to arriving we found the property very easily. If you want peace then come here. Only a short walk to amenities like shops, the best fish & chips ever at Stonehouses and a regular bus service stops nearby. Excellent base for this area of the North East. Will come again
-
"The cottage was as we expected clean and although compact was suitable for our needs."
The shower room was a great bonus for bathing our disabled daughter. Owners were very friendly. Situation good for visiting Scarborough Saltburn Whitby and Pickering It was covid safe and we could recommend this cottage.
-
"Only two observations and not really complaints."
Shower operation was a little difficult (we got there in the end) and the TV seemed to have a mind of its own. Also, the kitchen knives need some attention. The proprietors were superb people who were very helpful with eg local knowledge .and we had no complaints at all. Definitely on the cards for another visit.
-
"Booked this cottage as we wanted to take my wheelchair bound mother back to this area to visit her brother."
Ideal for a disabled person and whilst a little more basic than some of the luxury cottages we have stayed in was perfect for what we wanted and spotlessly clean. Bill was always around if needed and helped us out a couple of times with additional items we needed. Overall I would 100% recommend and it's highly likely we'll book again for future visits to this area.
-
"I think you should check out the accuracy of the claim for wifi."
We never managed to make a connection and mobile data would not connect until 50 yards away from cottage.
-
"The Cow Byre is in an great location for exploring the North Yorkshire coast, excellent for anyone with limited mobility, both front & rear doors had an access an ramp, the tiled floor & wide doorways made navigating in a wheelchair easy."
Personally I found the toilet a bit low ,I asked if there was a raised seat I could borrow, the owner Bill brought one round within a few minutes. The owners were available if we needed anything but didn't intrude. The cottage was a credit to the owners, it was spotless & well aired, (no musty holiday cottage smell !) Hope to return in the future when everything is back to normal after covid restrictions lifted
-
"Having a handicapped person the family understud our problems thank you so much Ken and Merilyn"
-
"Great holiday cottage, spotlessly cleans and warm, with everything we needed for our short break."
Bill (owner) was extremely friendly and helpful. Views from accommodation terrific. Village had great little shop and butchers.
-
"We had a fantastic holiday at Wilson Cottages."
The Cow Byre cottage was just brilliant. Although we have no disabilities, the cottage would be perfect for anyone with mobility problems. Bill and Sandra, the owners, are the nicest people. They made us very welcome. We will definitely stay here again.
-
"So nice. Beautiful place lovely walks on the beaches"
-
"Very comfortable accommodation with easy access to Eskdale and the coast."
Our hosts were helpful and friendly.
-
"Lovely, warm, well equipped cottage in great location for exploring the coast and moors."
Would highly recommend and we intend to revisit soon.
-
"We thought that the lounge area was a bit snug for 4 adults, think the dining table was too big for the room, Our only other gripe was there was no storage area for dried food it all had to sit on the work surface."
Other than that very comfortable, ample parking, good area for coast and moors.
-
"The cottage was excellent, secluded and perfect as a base for the moors and North Yorks coast, as well as being comfortable and well equipped for us and the dogs."
The owners were brilliant, taking the COVID precautions seriously, with exemplary cleanliness of the cottage, and with great advice as to what we could do. They were very friendly and helpful, juts what was needed!
-
"We absolutely loved the cottage for comfort and cleanliness so much so that we have already booked for next year ,The host ,Bill and Sandra were really helpful and friendly ,we are now looking forward to our next visit."
Well done Bill and Sandra.
-
"After a nightmare of a flight from Abu Dhabi I was pleasantly surprised how nice the Cow Byre was."
There was plenty of parking, the holiday cottage was very clean and well kept. Sandra had welcomed my daughter who was joining me at the cottage the night before I arrived and made her welcome. Nice outside patio to sit on a night and watch the rabbits in the field. The location is ideal to access the North Yorkshire Moors, Saltburn & Whitby etc. I had forgotten how green the area was after living aboard for 8 years. I would not hesitate to stay here again and hopefully will stop again next year. Thank you Bill & Sandra.

"We were disappointed by the wet room as the floor tiling was the same as the rest of the property and became very slippy once wet and soapy."
Rubber Mats are available to counter this but my wife who is very unsteady on her feet still struggled when moving off them . access to the main bedroom was also a problem,with considerable manoeuvring required to get a scooter to the side of the bed.The rest of the facilities were fine.
Sorry to hear of your disappointment with the cowbyre . I feel on this occasion I should reply. It is advertised of been disable friendly with easy access , wet room with wash chair and grab rails for the toilet, walking frame is available if requested. We sorry but wouldn't expect anyone to try and drive a mobile scooter Property Owner

"A great little cottage in beautiful surroundings with very attentive, helpful owners."
Ideal spot for our dogs. We liked it so much we've booked in again for later this year.
-
"I have suffered strokes in the past so I am always intersted in disabled friendly accomodation."
This completely met my needs, especially the wetroom. What was also wonderful was the cost was not inflated as many are. Thank you, we are returning customers of Sykes and your attention to detail, and friendly yet professional service is always appreciated.
-
"Bill was a fantastic guest and make our stay enjoyable."
-
"The cottage was both clean and comfortable with everything you would want in a holiday home."
However, what made this stay particularly outstanding was down to the hosts, Bill and Sandra, who went out of their way to both welcome me and subsequently aid me in sourcing and booking my car into a garage for remedial work. Excellent, helpful and friendly hosts. A++

"The grounds were immaculate and wonderful for our two spaniels especially the field out back, and the beaches and woodland walks were fantastic."
The owners were very friendly and helpful but we always maintained our privacy. Just a few things to note were that there were no recycling facilities at the premises that we were aware of. Also, the fridge was very noisy which was ok if the television was on but we were aware of it quite often. Perhaps it was no louder than any other fridge but we noticed it being as the lounge and kitchen were all in one room. We also struggled with the limited amount of available cupboard space in the kitchen for our groceries. Although these were all very minor things and we still managed very well and had a relaxing holiday. Saltburn and the coastline is a great place and extremely close and we visited places all along the coast from Robins Hood’s Bay to Runswick Bay and can’t recommend the North Yorkshire Moors area highly enough for a holiday destination.
-
"Very well laid out."
Easy access for disabled people. Very friendly owners, we were made very welcome.
-
"We would recommend visitors take slippers as floor can be cold."
The field at the side is ideal for those with dogs. The whole area is really quite and relaxing. Enjoyable stay and would recommend for anyone looking to relax and unwind.
-
"Cottage was clean and comfortable and everything you need."
Good location
-
"Friendly and helpful owner (Sandra)."
Warm and cosy even on the one really bad night weatherwise
-
"We had a great week in North Yorkshire."
Our cottage in Lingdale had everything we needed for a fulltime wheelchair user and her husband with welcoming hosts and impressive views over the moors to the sea. It was a really good base for exploring the coast with Saltburn, a Victorian spa town with real character, only a short distance away and iconic Whitby, half-an-hour away. driving over the dramatic moors just added to the holiday.
-
"Great location, proximity to the coast and also inland walks."
Small local villages with excellent facilities.
-
"My wife and I really enjoyed our holiday in this very clean and well maintained cottage, she is disabled and is wheelchair bound, the cottage was perfect, very basic but more than suited our needs."
The owners are on site and could not do enough for us, which was really nice, we had lovely weather and the outside patio was great, would recommend this property for anyone, but is excellent for less abled people
-
"Really nice clean comfortable cottage which is well decorated with good quality fittings and warm underfloor heating ."
Good wi-fi, new flat screen tv and DVD with large selection of films and boxed sets. Enclosed yard good for dog. Nice furnished patio overlooking the paddock with afternoon and evening sun. Quiet location. Market town of Gisborough is just a few minutes drive with many restaurants and bars. The owners are very helpful and approachable.
-
"Cow Byre is a disabled friendly cottage, the bathroom/wet room was well laid out with ample room to manoeuvre a walker around."
The owners even supplied us with a raised toilet seat which was extremely helpful. Although this property is only rated 3* it is far better than that. The owners could not have been more helpful if we needed them. We hope to make a return visit to this cottage and the area, it all made for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
-
"Beautifully clean and well equipped."
Owner 'went the extra mile' when we asked for something. Friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Quiet location but with all facilities.
-
"Very nice conversion."
Helpful and friendly owners on site. Just really needs the local pub in Lingdale to complete refurbishment then it would be perfect. Fairly easy to walk direct from the front door but note that OS map footpaths may not be completely accurate.....but that is just part of the fun of walking a new area. Family and dog enjoyed the week. The "robust" mattresses, whilst comfortable enough, encouraged perspiration during a wonderfully warm and humid week but I am sure are ideal for the other 51 weeks of the year. Would like to return for mountain biking next time.
