The Byre

Well the cottage has a step to get in who ch is not listed,the bed was very uncomfortable ,very hard mattress ,

Nicely appointed accommodation,handily placed close to Sutton Bank Visitor Centre and the A170 road,very peaceful and quiet!

The cottage was ideal for our needs and comfort.

It's not far away from the local attractions and probably about one or so hours from the coast. We would definitely consider staying here again when we are next in this area.

Lovely property comfortable and peaceful.

Ideal location right next door to Sutton bank national park centre. Loads of fabulous rides and walks right on the doorstep. The property was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great Wi-Fi signal. Highly recommend if you like a quiet rural setting.

The Byre had everything you could need for a comfortable stay.

Parking close by with some amazing walks nearby. We had a chance to see the views close by and they are spectacular. Highly recommend to anyone wishing to explore this or surrounding area. Thankyou for the stay.

could not fault the accommodation, it was in a lovely area, plenty to see and places to visit.

the cottage was very nice, no problems, a really nice gesture Would certainly think of booking again

What a lovely little gem, very comfortable and cosy, visit in early November so wet and windy outside, cosy inside Had a great break and loved exploring the area.

Had it been better weather would love to have explored the doorstep walks the views were so breath taking

Lovely place to stay a warm welcome with treats of jams cakes biscuits when we arrived.

Views were stunning across the moors. Perfect place for walks or travel to visit places york only 20 miles away. Will be going back next year as so much to do and couldn't do it all in 1 week

Fabulous location as walking distance to Sutton Bank Visitor Centre with all it amazing walks and cycle trails.

Cottage clean and well presented. Very well equipped, the owners have thought of everything including oil for cooking which we forgot to take. Lovely welcome basket and the most amazing lemon buns on our arrival. Generous parking space. Very peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be returning.

Very comfortable holiday cottage.

Everything that you need. In a very good location and you can go for walks straight from the accommodation. It was a last minute booking for us so only had 3 nights so couldn’t visit as many places as would have liked to.

Beautiful and peaceful location, such a lovely little courtyard.

The accommodation was comfortable very well equipped and very clean. A great break. We even had homemade cakes on arrival!

What a wonderful little cottage, nice welcome with teapot,cups & cakes to enjoy after our busy day.

Very nice personal touch! The cottage itself was perfect just what we always look for! Small n cosy. Good choice of kitchen equipment & the dishwasher always a bonus for us. The bedroom was warm and comfortable the bed perfect after long days on our feet, we slept very well every night. Nice option with a double shower head All in all we would certainly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a break away from the hustle & bustle of life. It is right on edge of Sutton Bank National Park with some nice walks and views to die for! The white Horse of Kilburn also just a short walk away.

A really lovely base/place to stay.

On arrival we were met with a few welcome pack, which included the best cakes I’d ever tasted. Cottage has everything you need and has been well thought out in that respect. Only thing we didn’t have was a pair of scissors and an iron. Cottage was clean, tidy and well furnished. Would recommend for couples or single persons - not suitable for a family. Only minor inconvenience was that our bedroom was next door to the neighbours living room so we could hear them talking until very late and their dog barking. Them opening the blinds woke us up on 2 mornings. There is so much to do in the area - beautiful walks, good pubs and easy trip out to Whitby & Scarborough. If you fancy a bit of a drive, the Holy Island is about 2hrs away. Enjoy your stay in this lovely little base

Very comfortable cottage that had everything we needed.

The cakes were a very welcome extra. Ideal base for a couple exploring North Yorkshire and great local walks for anyone with a dog. We would definitely like to return.

We absolutely loved this property.

The location was amazing to use as a base. We think this was the best property we have stayed in especially for walking the dog from. Great walks opposite and around Sutton bank. We also walked to the white horse which was a moderate couple of miles. The property had everything we needed and was well equipped. The homemade cakes and biscuits were a lovely treat after a long drive from Devon. Pop into Sutton bank cafe the Truffled Hog served fab breakfast, lunch or just the most amazing hot chocolate. We would certainly recommend The Byre or The Cottage next door.

Lovely little place in a quiet area but with sutton bank just 5 minutes up the road for lovely walks!

Helpful and friendly owners! I’d visit again!

The property is clean and comfortable and well positioned to visit various places of interest.

We would of liked black out curtains as it was really bright very early in the morning.

We also ran out of hand wash,toilet paper and tissues.

Second visit great cottage plenty of places to visit.

If you like walking Sutton Bank is a great area.Also worth the trip to Whitby(fish+chips). Nice cakes on arrival Thanks Liz

Not suitable for a week stay maybe a long weekend at best

Perhaps you need to highlight the induction hob as some people are not allowed to use them for medical reasons.

Otherwise everything was great.

every thing was just great lovely place very comfy and warm great views would go again already told our son to book this

Lovely cosy cottage, with all the facilities you need.

Warm welcome on arrival with delightful goodies waiting to perk you up after your journey. Excellent location for walkers and explorers. Peaceful surroundings with a lot to do in a short distance. Even the rain could not spoil my break as hard as it tried to!

Lovely cottage, beautiful location, friendly owners.

Enjoyed the cakes that were waiting for us on our arrival.

Lovely spot for dog walking Comfortable bed and place to stay Floors in kitchen a bit scruffy

Lovely comfortable property.

Outside furniture was a nice touch, both a picnic style bench and very comfy chairs with a little table. High standard of furnishings throughout. We really appreciated the home baking and basket of goodies. We walked a lot and so nice to come back to such a restful place. Would thoroughly recommend this place, especially having morning coffee outside watching the fish in the pond, and seeing the horses.

Lovely one bedroom property with ensuite shower.

The bed was very comfortable and the property was well decorated and in good condition. Excellent rural location between Sutton Bank Visitor Centre and the old Hambleton racecourse. We would happily return. Appreciated the cakes and biscuits left for our arrival. Plenty of walks locally for our dog in rural settings and off the main road. A beautiful area on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Great cottage,nice and peacefull, nice host.

A good place to explore the villages and coast of Yorkshire,plenty of markets on different days in loveley quite local towns and villages.Good food to be had in cafes and restaurants or visit the local butchers and greengrocers for great food to cook. seeing the horses in the morning on the gallops was very nice.plus the the stabled horses in the field.will book again,thanks for the cakes and treats.

A very nice property, placed in a good area for easy access to the surrounding countryside.

Had all facilities we needed apart from a shower mat so care was needed as the base was a touch slippery. Everything worked fine and was clean and tidy. Would definately stop again.

We had a lovely time and the little touches like a welcome pack and homemade cakes was much appreciated.

Our dog max loved the walking the area was lovely. Would definitely book again. Linda , Alan and max

Liz was welcoming and helpful.

The cottage was comfortable and well placed to explore the area. The weather could have been better but we managed to avoid the worst of it and visited several places of interest. We are considering a return visit at some future date.

Perfect stay, lovely welcome cakes and gorgeous setting!

Would definitely recommend.

What a lovely week we had at The Byre.

The conversion is ideal for a couple and their four legged friend. Liz was around if you needed her, and her lemon cakes were delicious. The area is great to explore, lovely for walking, cycling and using as a base for drives further afield. The North Yorkshire area speaks for itself. We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing stay of the Easter

My dog and I had a lovely stay.

Very clean cottage and super comfy bed with luxurious bedding. Well equipped kitchen although I couldn't find the tea towels! Great location for dog walks and such a treat to have the most fantastic view at nearby Sutton Bank. Lovely little cakes and daffs on the table were appreciated. Only one niggle was that the underfloor heating was a bit too efficient and I would have liked to moderate the heat especially in the evening. Such a lovely part of the world - we will be back!

It's been amazing staying at The Byrne, the perfect place to chill out even during Christmas time, everything was prepared for making our stay memorable, from the muffins waiting for us at our arrival to the Christmas decorations to the biscuits, jams, honey and tea provided to all that is needed for a dog.

Thanks so much!!

We booked extremely close to the booking - just 15 hrs before.

None of it was a problem to the very busy owners and we even arrived to home baked cakes. Also, we had to extend our stay at very late notice as we had moved out of our home in Lincolnshire and were awaiting completion on our house in North Yorkshire (which dragged on frustratingly). Again this was not an issue to the owners. A lovely, comfortable, warm and homely stay.

We liked "The Byre" , were very comfortable and warm, could not fault it in any way it was clean and well maintained.

Owners were friendly and helpful, so we are returning next year. Overall were very Happy.

The Byre is a compact and cosy cottage in spectacular surroundings at the top of Sutton Bank.

The cottage itself is quite small but has been thoughtfully laid out and equipped so you have everything you need. It was spotlessly clean and the shower was hot and powerful, always a bonus. The courtyard garden is lovely. The owners were pleasant and friendly, unobtrusive but there if you needed them. Dog-friendly and it's dog heaven as there is a forest with trails directly out the front of the cottage, and out the back your are straight onto the Cleveland Way where you can walk for miles in both directions with spectacular views. We had a great week and would have no hesitation in recommending The Byre.

Lovely cottage with excellent walks straight from the door.

Property was immaculate, owner was very helpful, lovely location.

Perfect little break, lovely cottage, nice location.

Owners should be proud of the cottages, the goodies, flowers and dog treats were much appreciated.

Lovely cottage in great surroundings loads of places to visit enjoyed

A most enjoyable week in a beautiful part of the country.

The cottage was clean and very well equipped. The little extras we found waiting for us on our arrival were a lovely touch. Highly recommended.

Excellent location.

Everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Great outside space and lovely cake on arrival. We would definitely book again.

We found the property very well equipped and comfortable and loved the location.

The cleaners perhaps missed doing the oven and oven gloves as these were rather messy. We found the corner where the table was very dark for eating, just a very minor niggle and did not detract from our lovely stay and have already recommended it to our friends.

Attention to detail was obvious everywhere beautiful crockery Flowers Home baked cakes on arrival were very welcome.

The location was perfect for walking and visiting all the places of interest. I would certainly recommend this property and especially for dog owners with access to the courtyard and good dog walks from the door.

Lovely cottage, everything we needed was there.

Welcome cakes and biscuits a lovely touch. Comfortable bed, good shower and great to have access to Netflix. We would just say the property in places looks a bit tired, the bathroom door frame half painted, air vent dirty and cooker very dirty. However we had a great week and this didn’t detract from our stay.

A very cosy and comfortable cottage in a beautiful area.

The owners provided very thoughtful hospitality as well as delicious cakes on our arrival! Highly recommended.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning area, lots to see and do with in a short driving distance.

Warm welcome received and a lovely welcome pack along with tasty homemade cakes on arrival. Fantastic and relaxing stay.

The Byre is a beautiful cottage, with the most beautiful surroundings.

It is peaceful, and has brilliant dog walks right from the front door. Every single thing has been thought of for the most comfortable stay. The welcome box and cakes were delightful, and the bed with the pillows (of which I have just ordered the same!!) made for the best nights sleep. If you like horses, you can see the race horses from the local horse racing trainer yards, doing their training each morning, which is a magnificent spectacle to see. Plenty towns and villages around to drive to, and the Kilburn White Horse is a nice walk to do from the cottage also. All in all a brilliant holiday, and we would definitely return.

We can see why they call Yorkshire Gods own country when spending time in the area where the Byre is located, ideal for outdoor activities and central to many places.

Comfortable warm cottage and courtyard and treats for all. Well Recommended. Beryl & Roy, and Jess our Patterdale.

Beautiful cottage in fantastic surroundings.

Ideal for walking running and mountain biking from the doorstep. Lovely welcome cakes on arrival, the cottage was very cosy and warm and had everything i needed.

What a lovely cottage.

Very comfortable. Has everything you need. Great location for walking and cycling being so close to sutton bank national park. If you like horses you will love staying here as they have a farm and livery. Lovely to see the horses out running from the yard opposite the property. Hosts very helpful and friendly. Thirsk is a great little market town. Loads of nice pubs and restaurants in and nearby. Pony trekking at Boltby was excellent too. Loads to do. Scenery breath taking. Would definitely recommend and return.

Tranquil environment

Lovely secluded accommodation perfectly positioned to explore North Yorkshire.

Exactly as expected.

Very clean and cosy. Everything you would need for a relaxing stay in a lovely location and some wonderfully tasty cupcakes waiting for us!! Would definitely stay here again when we come back to the area

The Byre was excellent.

Very cosy and beautifully warm as it was very cold. The owners Liz and Graham were excellent hosts. They were very busy lambing at the time so didn't see them a lot. Both of them were very accommodating as I am disabled and helped me out. Would recommend any couple who love Yorks hire to stay in their lovely cottage. Loved seeing the race horses exercising on the gallops and although we never got to Castle Howard, we did pass it and it looks fabulous. Would definitely stay again. Just one small thing, need a potato peeler!

Lovely quirky cottage,clean everything you needed, very comfy bed.

Fantastic location. Lovely christmas decorations. Perfect cottage in every single way. Nice and secure place to stay.

18-25 oct 2019 Byre Cottage was great ideal for walking particularly along Sutton Bank views fantastic.

Weather could have been better but cottage always nice and warm to get back to. Cakes biscuits ect. from Liz very welcome on arrival. Very enjoyable week. Marj & Colin plus Max& Paddy(Shis Tzu) From Chesterfield

The cottage was very well appointed, clean, cosy with lots of lovely little touches that we haven't experienced in other cottages we have visited.

Its location gives many options for keen walkers and those with dogs and the views from Sutton Bank across Yorkshire are spectacular. As stated it is located in a working farm and we were able to roam around the fields with our young retriever (whom made friends with the horses and sheep) freely BUT you must have regard for the farm animals and the property by keeping your dog (s) on leads and clean up after them . The owners Liz and Craig are very helpful,kind and friendly ( as is their little puppy) and we look forward to visiting them again soon..

The Byre was a really enjoyable place to stay being close to so many places to visit and enjoy.

On arrival Liz was there to welcome and show me around the Byre, also she had made some amazing cakes which just melted in the mouth ! There were also other items supplied which was most welcome, a really highly recommended place to stay .

NoFabulous to be near a racing yard, where I could go out in the early morning to watch the horses going out for exercise.

The cottage was beautiful, very pretty and comfortable.

Liz was a lovely host who left out little treats and had baked some caked which were a lovely thing to arrive too. The cottage is in a great location, it is a five min walk from Sutton Bank National Park, we took our dog for a 7 mile walk, it was lovely. We would also recommend the pub at the bottom of Sutton Bank for dog owners, Whitestonecliffe Inn, the food was lovely and have their own dog lounge. Will definitely be back.

Not only was the cottage very comfortable but we were welcomed with a wonderful cake .

There were the usual welcome gifts but the cake was not expected. The owners encouraged us to look round the farm which was as emmaculate as the cottage . The area in which the cottage is was really interesting and very beautiful. All of the above made it a great holiday.

We have just arrived home from The Byre Cottage on garbutt farm and I couldn't wait to give this place a 5 star.

On arrival we could check in earlier then expected which was fab. We met the owners their who were lovely they showed us around and then left us to it. We were welcomed with some chocolate and amazing freshly cooked Salted Caramel Cupcakes. The cupboards were full of essentials teabags, sugar etc and cleaning products. The cottage was spotless smelt amazing & was the decor was just beautiful. Every little touch made us feel at home.. The fluffy towels smelt amazing! The crips white bedding and well the mattress made us sleep like babies. Now the views were outstanding you are literally a stones throw from Sutton Bank national Park were you can walk your socks off. Our dogs absolutely loved it. We will be booking again!
