• "A really lovely cottage."

  Although set at the back of the owners home, it was very secluded and private. Very clean with everything you needed. Totally agree with another reviewer who said that the photos don't do the property justice. Far more spacious than we thought it would be. We would thoroughly recommend this property.

• "My boyfriend and I have just returned from a fantastic and very relaxing stay here."

  The location was stunning, as well as very convenient for visiting places such as Whitby, York and Scarborough. Wrelton is an extremely picturesque village and the surrounding villages and countryside are incredibly pretty. The cottage itself exceeded all expectations. The photos do not do it's size and attention to detail justice. We had everything we needed and more during our stay. The owners have thought of just about everything. We made use of the washing machine and dishwasher and had a lovely cooked breakfast sitting outside in the private courtyard. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the furniture and decoration gave the cottage a very cosy and homely feel. We briefly met one of the owners, Martin, who was very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the respect for privacy, which made us feel even more at home. I would certainly highly recommend Cow Byre Cottage to other people and we would both love to visit again. Please pass on our thanks to Gayle and Martin.

  The cottage is very well equipped and the owners had provided some teabags, milk, biscuits and fresh fruit on our arrival. The cottage is nice and private with a secure parking space. Since the owners live in the adjacent house, we had expected to be greeted by them and wished farewell at the end of our stay which didn't happen, but we did speak with them during the week when we came across them and we were asked if we had any questions at that point. We enjoyed our visit and would go again.
