  • "My husband and I travel a lot and by far this is one of the best properties we have stayed at."

    The property itself is quirky, clean and spacious with everything you could ask for and more. The sofas and bed are super comfy and the space is amazing. So much room and feels really homely. The hosts Robert and Kath were amazing too. Came to say hello when we arrived, offered to change the gas bottle for the fire and relight the pilot light for us. There garden and surroundings are absolutely stunning. We woke up every morning to birds chirping away and had visits from some other wildlife too including rabbits and pheasants. Lovely sitting area in the garden to enjoy the afternoon sun. We had lots of information provided on walks of all different ratings from easy to very hard. There are board games and books to entertain you if you need them. The local pub is a 20 second walk and the food is delicious. Highly recommended. We will definitely return it is now one of our favourite places to stay.

    Thank you for your lovely review. We look forward to seeing you again Property Owner

  • "This stunning Barn conversion has been carefully and thoughtfully designed and the standards of furnishings and fittings are of an extremely high quality."

    The accommodation is very spacious and comfortable and we looked forward to returning in the evening after being out in the daytime. It was always warm with plenty of hot water and had everything you could wish for. Without doubt this is the most comfortable and spacious accommodation we have ever stayed in with very friendly and helpful hosts. The views from the windows are beautiful looking out onto the hillsides and the pub in the village serves excellent and filling meals There are many lovely walks of all levels from the door with stunning views all round. Would definitely recommend the Byre to any couples wanting a peaceful and restful break. Chris and Jacqui Morgan. stayed March 2025

Where you’ll be staying

LITTON

Grassington 10 miles; Settle 12 miles

Litton is a picturesque village of traditional historic stone-built dwellings and a characterful public house. This idyllic village makes the perfect place from which to explore the wonderful scenery and pretty villages of this magnificent Dale. The river Skirfare flows through Littondale, and is fed from the slopes of one of the Dales 3 Peaks, Pen-y-Ghent. The beauty of the classic limestone countryside, with silvery dry-stone walls and field barns, which are part of an ancient agricultural landscape is unique. Through flower-rich hay meadows you can access the river on stepping stones or by crossing the river by footbridge when the water is in spate and enjoy the riverside walk to Arncliffe where you can refresh yourself upon arrival at the Falcon Inn, where food is also available. Local becks and streams that contain very rarely visited, but immensely beautiful waterfalls and limestone gorges, with pools for wild swimming, are on your doorstep, with a plethora of quite rare flora and fauna and valley side woodland walks. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best walking and mountain biking areas in the Dales and can be enjoyed from your doorstep, also with quiet roads for road cycling within the heart of the National Park. Malham Tarn, Buckden, Hubberholme and Kettlewell are all within walking distance from the cottage on quiet, but well-defined footpaths. This is a truly excellent base from which to enjoy this very special area.
