"We had a wonderful stay in Byre Cottage."
The property is in a beautiful location, with access to many places of interest.
We loved Appleby and Kirkby Stephen which are very close, plus Rutter Falls, a totally unexpected bonus with very easy access.
The upside down layout works well, providing spacious living accommodation, comfortably furnished and well equipped. The en-suite bedrooms have sleep inducing beds in generously sized rooms.
The local pub is very close and well worth a visit; the village itself is delightful and offers many opportunities to go walking or just meander around.
We would love to go back.

Host was exceptionally welcoming, kindly providing milk, butter, bread and eggs, tea and coffee.
Beds were very comfortable, plenty of storage for clothing.
Powerful shower over the bath and good electric shower in the other ensuite.
Lovely maintained outside seating area.
Friendly local pub in easy walking distance - book a table in advance.
Lovely village walks.
Whatever the weather we always found something to do/visit.

"After a long flight from Australia and feeling very tired Byre Cottage was the perfect haven for us - a beautifully appointed, comfortable and quaint barn conversion cottage in a small village nestled in picturesque countryside."
Our host Ingrid was lovely, attentive to our needs and willing to provide advice when requested while being maintaining our privacy and allowing us to enjoy and maximize our stay.
We would recommend Byre Cottage to anyone who wants to stay in a quiet village but in good location to all of the Lake District and Cumbria’s tourist sites and who appreciates comfort and a high standard of hospitality and support when needed.
Thanks again Ingrid for a most wonderful stay at Byre Cottage.

"We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week at Byre cottage."
It is located in a very picturesque village, a real "get away from it all" place, yet still close to the lake district and north Pennines. The cottage is beautifully furnished and comfortable with everything we needed. Ingrid, the owner, met us on arrival and was very welcoming. The owners live next door, so on hand if needed, but not in any way intrusive. Looking at the guest book, people return time after time. I can understand why. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily visit again in the future.

"Byre Cottage is in a pretty village with a local pub close by."
The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The owners were very welcoming and responded very quickly to a small issue with the hot water. The staircase is wooden open treads and fairly steep which can be a bit of a challenge for someone with mobility issues. The bed linen and towels were really good quality and the beds so comfortable. Be aware that the mobile phone coverage is patchy especially Vodafone. However the WiFi was excellent. Thank you for a good stay.

"We had a great week in Byre Cottage which was lovely."
It was very clean and had everything we could have needed for our stay. One of the best we’ve stayed in. Its location allowed us to visit and walk in both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District which we did every day, despite some inclement weather at times! Our hosts Terry and Ingrid were great hosts and very promptly sorted out a problem we had with the heating. We couldn’t have had better service. The Three Greyhounds pub, just a couple of minutes walk away served delicious food and was very reasonably priced. All in all a brilliant week!

"Byre Cottage is an absolutely charming place to stay."
The owner seems to have thought of everything. My friend and I went for some much needed peace and quiet and rest. The property is comfortable, extremely well located to explore Cumbria, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, which I have to say we did very little of as that was not the purpose of our stay. It was quiet - perfect for a re-set. The bedrooms are both en-suite and beautifully appointed, with large comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. Being an upside down layout the living area and kitchen are upstairs, which we thought was just perfect. We had a supermarket delivery on our first day and did any 'top up' shopping for essentials in Appleby. I can't say enough on how beautiful this place is, as a couple of 'Townies' it is completely different to what we're used to and we would both thoroughly recommend it to anyone. We would both happily go back, either together or on our own. GO - see for yourself !
