    I like a table beside the sitting area I did use the windowsill at the back of the sofa. I also like a footstool but if that is the only negative comment I have.

    The property is very close to Leyburn. The host left bread and milk for us on arrival which was very much appreciated. The Living kitchen diner was quite compact but well decorated. Lovely views from the windows in a lovely part of the country

    Real hidden gem, Suzanne the host was very helpful & lovely. The property is furnished to a high standard & is beautiful spotless & very comfy beds & sofas. Everything you could need for a relaxing break. Bonus of a goody box from Suzanne with delicious bread milk & cookies. Would highly recommend & hopefully will be definitely coming again. Lovely walk right outside cottage to Harby waterfall half hour away.

    Location, spotlessly clean, contact with owners before arrival and on site. Close to Leyburn, set in the beautiful NY Dale's. Quiet and relaxing, well equipped.

    I don't check my emails when I'm on holiday. Returned home to discover we'd been logged in to the previous occupants' Netflix account; they'd forgotten to sign out. Embarrassed Luddites are us!

    The Byre is lovely. Everything is thoughtfully organised, attractive and immaculate. We had a very relaxing stay -- the bed is so comfortable -- and we couldn't have hoped for more.

    Nothing to dislike at all!

    A beautiful property, very clean, spacious, plenty of room for my three kids and I. Amazing location, we visited Leyburn, Richmond and Middleham Castle during our two night stay. Also popped down to The Bolton Arms in Leyburn for some lovely pub grub. Suzanne was a wonderful host, and we hugely appreciated our little basket of goodies upon arrival Couldn’t ask for more and we will most certainly be back in the Summer to explore more of the area

    Property was simply amazing. We were comfortable and felt home from home here. Lots of space for my 3 year old to run around and play. Facilities were perfect as well. Owners also extremely friendly and very helpful and responsive when we got in contact.

    Absolutely nothing!

    We loved everything about The Byre. Lovely sunset views over the fields. Exceptionally clean throughout. The layout of the property is well thought out and worked perfectly for us as a couple with a young baby. Loved the added extras of bread, milk, butter and some other treats in the kitchen. Nice and peaceful location but still within 5 mins drive of the town or a walkable if you cut across the field. We would definitely recommend The Byre and hope to stay again one day.

    The holiday was booked for my mum and dad for my dad's special 80th birthday. My parents said Suzamne the host was lovely she left them lots of treats and a birthday card for my dad. He was very touched. The accommodation was spotless, modern and very well equipped. The setting and location were beautiful overlooking fields. Definitely recommend.
