  The property is very spacious with excellent facilities and every amenity you could need. Mel is the perfect host, welcoming and helpful but not at all intrusive. Lovely quiet village to base yourself to see all that North Yorkshire has to offer. Friendly village pub with food within a 3 minute walk. Our Jack Russell, Oscar, was made very welcome by Mel and her dogs and he loved his stay at The Byre. One of the most relaxing holiday cottages we have stayed at. Highly recommended.

  With so many properties to choose from the choice was difficult but we wanted Ground floor accommodation and access to an exercise area for our young dog. We saw The Byre and chose it on the basis of the pictures and reviews. We were not disappointed. Very good accommodation, owner was very helpful and the welcome basket of items was very thoughtful and much appreciated. Quiet area, good parking and entrance through a large Utility Room made changing wet clothes and dog drying easy, also easy for cleaning. Local pub only a short walk and travel time to Northallerton and Richmond approx. 30 minutes. All in all an enjoyable week.

  The accommodation was extremely good and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and gave us a better night’s sleep than at home! We also enjoyed the walk-in shower, which was used a lot during our stay during a heatwave in September. The 2 dogs on the farm were very friendly and got on fine with our dog. Melanie and Paul were the perfect hosts and made us very welcome. They didn’t seem to mind us being nosy and taking an interest in their 4 lovely horses and other things on the farm. The Beeswing Inn is only a few minutes walk away, is dog friendly, and well worth a visit for a meal and a drink. We hope to return for another holiday at The Byre and would recommend it for anyone thinking of going. Paul, Gay & Masie the black lab.

  Unlike so many holiday lets, there were more than enough items of crockery, and everything had been thought of -even a shopping list pad! Lots of towels available, not just the ones that were left out for instant use! As well as all of the kitchen items we could have wished for, we found everything we could have used for the dog- feeding bowls, lead, torches for night time walks, mitts for drying paws, you name it, it was there. Beautifully furnished home, which was very comfortable. The wifi was a bit flaky, but that didn't cause a problem, and is probably the result of the village location. Mel left us comprehensive supplies to 'start us off'. Not just milk and a couple of tea bags- jar of coffee, tea bags, box of biscuits, prosecco, crisps, bottled water, litre of milk, pack of butter, bread...... Despite a chilly Yorkshire week in early January, we were toasty warm with the underfloor heating. Mel and Paul were very helpful telling us about local facilities. Almost forgot to add, there are lots of 'extras', which folk tend to take, just in case - you won't need them! Loo rolls, hand wash, salt & pepper, sauces, sugar, laundry liquid, cleaning sprays. Brilliant, thank you!
