  • "A beautiful property, perfectly located."

    Made to feel very welcome and soon felt right at home. Even though we only had a short stay, we managed to explore local paths, visit Sedgefield & went further afield to some English Heritage sights. All in all, a great stay. Highly recommended.

  • "We have just returned from a wonderful stay at The Byre."

    We chose this accommodation as we had a family wedding at Bradbury Glade but we were also central to family living in nearby Hartlepool and Consett. The Byre exceeded my expectations and as previously mentioned it really is incredible in person. Such a glorious kitchen and I did brave baking in the aga. The hosts were very welcoming and all the little extra touches were very thoughtful and much appreciated. Waking each day to glorious sunshine and peace all around was just perfect. A wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of busy life and I wasn't quite ready to return home. Our dog Evie absolutely loved the space to run around and was getting braver and investigating the cows in the next field! We will definitely be back and already looking forward to our next visit.

  • "I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Byre, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations."

    From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how much more incredible the place is in person compared to the photos online. The images simply don't do it justice. The Byre is absolutely large, with impressively high ceilings in the kitchen and master bedroom that add to the spacious and luxurious feel of the place. Each room is beautifully furnished, blending modern country comfort with the charm of original features and beautiful conversions. It's clear that a lot of thought and care went into the design and decoration, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming. What truly made the stay exceptional, however, were the hosts, William and Nikki. They were fantastic, going above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. Their warmth and hospitality added a personal touch that made me feel right at home from the start. The setting of The Byre is equally stunning. Nestled in a beautiful, peaceful location, it's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In conclusion, my stay at The Byre was nothing short of amazing. The combination of the beautiful property, superb furnishings, and outstanding hosts made for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special place to stay.

    We were met with a very warm welcome including a beautiful homemeade cake which we had with tea out in the patio courtyard watching the swallows swoop around - a lovely way to relax after a long drive from North of Scotland. The house had everything we needed and is decorated and furnished to a high standard including fully functional AGA cooker. Our dog was made very welcome too. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in nearby Sedgefield so no danger of running out of food or supplies. The access off the main road is a little tricky but we got the hang of it eventually. Many thanks to William and Nikki for their welcome and hospitality.

    The only thing is the aga in the kitchen makes the kitchen area very hot but leaving the back door open helped. Also using the aga was a novelty to us as we have never cooked on one before but easy to use after William showed us how when we arrived. We liked how the bedrooms were spread out giving everyone their own space, the beds could be a bit bigger but understand that there wouldn't be so much room around the bedrooms if bigger beds were put in. That was just our preference. I think possibly a curtain across the front door and windows might be nice as the first bathroom opens directly facing them - so coming out the bathroom after a shower in the morning was always a quick dash across. Nicky and William, we're always around to ask anything and were very friendly hosts. We had a cake on arrival which was a really nice touch, also the cottage smelled lovely. We will definitely be back to stay. Thanks for having us.

The Byre fitted us all with ease. We self-catered - the kitchen was more than up to the task of our food preparation. The new giant Fridge/Freezer could have held enough for a week if we had been there that long.

The owners provided a very warm welcome with basics like milk/bread etc already in the property and a fresh home baked cake that was absolutely delicious. There are large supermarkets about 5 minutes away in both directions and it’s an easy drive to the coast or up into the Dales. There are walks out from the property too but I would suggest an OS Map is useful to pin down a circular route. All in all it is the perfect oasis, full of the comforts of home but surrounded by beautiful countryside.

    Only downside was Hoover was rubbish and didn’t pick up so a better one really is needed, big fridge/ freezer in the kitchen would be benefit ( a wall unit is there but not being used so that could be a fridge/freezer in there as make things more easier for people staying and can keep it stocked up. Our shower over bath wasn’t brilliant and glass shower screen could do with sorting, just a few places of wear and tear in the property, but it’s to be expected. The drive way is a nightmare and not great for the cars coming up to the cottage, that could be sorted to make better to be honest as not good for your car, also a better parking instead of the field ( tarmac area) Nice to be left a cake which was lovely, flowers too, which is a nice touch too

    Also,on arrival, the owner told us that one bedroom door was closed to prevent 'the flies' getting in and renters complaining about the fly dirt. He didn't mention that opening the windows to try and dissipate sone of the heat would end in us being beseiged by daddy-long-legs (12 in the hall alone on our first morning) so we couldn't open the windows for the rest of our stay. The owner was also intrusive, walking past our floor to ceiling windows 4/5 times daily when he could get everywhere on his property without doing so. I felt we had no expectation of privacy. I was also really unhappy that his Border Terrier, running loose, bit my dog who was on her lead. And as for the driveway - parlous condition. I am conscious that some renters might not be offended by the issues which upset me but I offer my experience in case they do.
