• "We had a lovely time in the cottage, spotlessly clean, warm and cosy and a great base for exploring the seaside towns/dales."

  The cottage itself is fitted out to a very high spec. Dan was a great host and the extra treats of wine, cookies, fruit and milk were much appreciated. Would highly recommend.

  Hi guys. Thank you for coming to stay at my cottage. It was a pleasure to meet you both and I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. And thank you so much for your kind review.

• "We’ve just returned from a lovely stay at Cow Byre cottage."

  Great location, really handy for the coast and some lovely walks. The cottage itself was spotless, really well equipped and Dan was super friendly and very helpful. The welcome pack was very generous and we enjoyed some fruit for breakfast every day. The communal paddock was so useful to let our spaniel enjoy a walk round in the morning, and of course a late night wee! Although it’s very securely gated, Dan has even included a long line attached to the fence to keep any wanderers safe! We enjoyed 2 pleasant evenings in the Peacock pub just round the corner too, where we and our pup were made very welcome by the lovely locals.

  Hi Sarah. Sorry for the delay in responding. I seem to be having a few issues with the Sykes system at the moment-not able to respond immediately and then large chunks of my response disappear after I submit them. Although it seems to be working again just now. So, so glad that you all enjoyed your visit and that the locals made you feel welcome in the peacock. Snainton is a friendly village and we loooove having new people visit the village. It was a pleasure meeting you all and I’m hoping that your dad is feeling a bit better. All the very best to you and the family and thank you so much for your custom and kind review. Best wishes to you from all here in Snainton including Bob, Dave and Charlie Property Owner

• "Cottage was very nice and was lovely and clean."

  Everything was there to ensure a nice stay. Sheets and towels were really spotless. The host was especially nice and helpful. The only down side for us was that it appeared more remote on the pictures but actually was in the middle of the village. As I said it was a lovely cottage and you could travel to many places using it as a base.

  Hi Pete. Really glad you both enjoyed your stay in Snainton. Yep it’s a shame it’s in the middle of the village with that busy A170 running through it. But as you said it does make it easier for getting out and about to all the wonderful places in North Yorkshire. I’m not a fan of that road either. But it is what it is. So pleased you liked the cottage and I really hope that you come back to stay again sometime. Thank you for leaving the cottage so spotless. It’s really appreciated. Kindest regards, Dan Property Owner

  Hi guys. It was a pleasure having you stay at the cottage and if you got the seal of approval from Dave and Bob then what more is to be said. They’re very selective about the guests they visit.

• "Fabulous place Good location brilliant for the dog just one little gripe no hair dryer ( I forgot mine)"

  Hi Jill. Thank you for your kind review. I’m sorry you forgot to bring your hairdryer. I don’t provide hairdryers in the cottage because of two reasons. 1, it’s just one more electrical item to keep checking and replacing. I’m a busy man and I have to try and keep everything as easy as possible for me to manage and maintain. 2, most people prefer their own hairdryer and pack it to bring with them. But if, like you, someone has forgotten to pack their hairdryer then all they have to do is pop over to my workshop and ask. I have a pool hairdryer that I’m happy to lend out to guests. In fact if guests need anything, have questions etc then all they have to do is pop over to the workshop and ask. If I can help I will. I want everyone to enjoy their stay here in Snainton.

• "I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Cow Byre Cottage."

  Dan, the owner had gone the second mile to make me feel welcome in the provision of milk, tea and coffee as well as a few treats for my dog. The cottage is beautifully furnished and so comfortable. Coming back to it after a day's walk was like coming home. The village of Snainton is lovely with local amenities close to hand [the village store and fish and chip shop was literally round the corner!]. There is so much to do and so many lovely walks around the area that I was spoilt for choice. I relaxed and had a wonderful time. I shall definitely return to stay at Cow Byre Cottage. Thank you to Dan for making it such a lovely place in which to stay.

  Dan, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming, and the bottle of wine left for us was a very nice touch. The trip was a very late booking (booked on the afternoon we travelled!) but Dan was very accommodating with this. We would recommend this cottage and the area. There are plenty of walks from the property and surrounding area with woodland walks (including Dalby forest a short drive away). Would recommend Malton & Pickering for café/lunch/dinner especially if you have a dog as there are plenty of dog friendly places there. Thanks again for a nice stay!
