"William was a great host, made us welcome on our first day and in passing during our stay."
The cottage was ideal for us, very private with great views across the valley. We completed several walks direct from the cottage, a couple of them to Richmond via Aske hall. Beautiful area. would highly recommend.

"This is one of my favourite cottages to stay at."
It is clean comfortable and has a lovely feel to it. The views are phenomenal. Mainsgill farm shop is only a 7 min drive away in the car. If I could improve anything about this cottage it would be tv upgrade with extra channels and new garden furniture by the BBQ, however it did not hinder my stay at all. 10/10.

"Lovely cottage in a great peaceful area but lacking in cleanliness-dining table and worktops were dirty-had to scrub clean."
Floors also had bits on them. Lacked blinds in bathroom where you can keep privacy but let light in and no curtains/blinds in main area for privacy especially at night.
Sorry my fault
I must have been messy when I put the flowers in
Privacy is not an issue to worry about the site was yours alone
The cottage was certainly cleaner when you came than when you left

"The cottage was very good, the owner was a lovely fella, I think a little bit of maintenance on it would make this a 5 star property without doubt as its in a beautiful area, it had everything we needed for a relaxing break with friends, I think maybe some better outside furniture would benefit the property as the old interior dining table out the back is falling to bits, we would definitely be back though."

Unfortunately it was not as clean as one would expect. The floor was not very clean, the fridge could have done with a clean and the view was blurred by dirty windows.
The garden furniture was starting to fall apart and needs replacing. All in all a little disappointing

"For 12 years we have made a 5* cottage in Northumbria our destination ."
The Byre matches that standard. We received a warm welcome and felt at home immediately. The only niggle we had … and this applies to most hotels and cottages we have stayed in … regards the lack of good lighting for reading. We prefer to read in the evenings rather than watch TV and have always found this an issue. But that said we loved The Byre, the sensitive and well considered transformation of the old farm buildings and the peace and quiet of the surroundings. There is so much to see in the area so I think we will be returning to The Byre.

"Very spacious cottage in quiet rural location."
Private and secluded and close to lovely town of Richmond. We dined twice in the Rustique Richmond, where the service and food were good.
Only suggestion regarding the cottage would be to change light bulbs in living area to brighter LED ones as current lighting is insufficient for size of room.
Despite that we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property.
The cakes and wine left by Ann much appreciated.

"Lovely peaceful rural location and host who was friendly, available but not in the least intrusive."
We had privacy. Good instruction manual to steer us through things. Underfloor heating was very warm for us and hard to regulate , so we were often hot but many others might like it. A couple of doors and locks were a bit jammed and needed attention and we broke one lock whilst trying to lock a door. Felt bad about that but it pointed to a need for a little bit of maintenance. Generally clean and inviting property although unsealed slate/flag bathroom floors were bit fluffy and I note are hard to get completely clean. Maybe they need sealing to keep grout together and stop dust and hair sticking? Notwithstanding these minor things, the setting is lovely, the horse and cattle are interesting, the view is gorgeous and we were very satisfied with our stay.

We had a few maintenance issues during our stay, however the owners Ann and William sorted these out very swiftly. We loved the location which we found very relaxing and the animals on the farm. In particular, George the pony which our children enjoyed feeding every day an apple and carrot. :) The cleanliness wasn't up to the standard you would expect, such as the floors required a good hoovering and mopping. The kitchen units needed a better clean and so did the kitchen table. However, despite this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sedbury Park Farm.

Everything about the Barn was perfect with the added bonus of welcome gifts from Ann. We were treated to every home comfort you could think of plus a lovely bottle of wine and home made cakes. The farm animals made our holiday with George having his daily apple and our regular visits from the two chickens. The Galloway cows along with their calves were also regular visitors.
The location just outside Richmond was ideal. We went on day trips to Whitby, Barnard Castle, Northallerton, Thirsk, Cannonhall Farm in Barnsley and Wetherby. We also visited Richmond on numerous occasions and the beautiful Waterfalls on the river.
The weather was also perfect with no rain! We will definitely visit again.
