Old Byre Cottage

We had a lovely stay at Olde Byre Cottage,comfortable & close to many beautiful places.

We were made very welcome & had everything we needed.Our family were in Stable Cottage & that worked very well. Thank you for the piece & quiet.

We really enjoyed our stay.

What a beautiful area and not so touristy as places nearby. Loved the living area being upstairs with good views of the farm and countryside. Food at the Black Swan in Ravenstonedale was excellent worth the 40 minute walk. House is comfortable, quiet and clean with a great open plan living /cooking area upstairs. Accomodation has easy access to the many trails and walks nearby.

Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings.

Spent a lot of time on the patio watching housemartins/swallows. Had a few visits from a cute little black cat, very friendly. Cottage was easy to find, directions very explicit. Explored nearby towns and villages, there were plenty within an hours drive. Excellent location for walkers, sadly we are not up to that now but we enjoyed countless scenic views on our various trips. Would highly recommend staying here, the owners are friendly and helpful but unobtrusive.

It's high quality and has a friendly host.

The upside-down architecture works well, and all rooms have plenty of space. Walks directly up onto the moors from the farm are excellent, with C2C and the Dales Way close by. The one negative review on the listing is complete nonsense.

We had a lovely stay at the old Byre cottage very comfortable and clean.

very quiet and friendly and we had the best weather

Exactly what we needed for a two night stay.

. Lovely location, great set up. Friendly people Highly recommended

Beautiful cottages in a lovely area.

3 nights but wished it was longer to explore the farm and take in the local walks. There is a warm welcome from the owners to check you have Everything you need .

Easy to find the property.

Upon entering property it looked like it needed a bit of TLC downstairs. We discovered the second bedroom had no bed linen and I tried calling both numbers listed but no one answered. Owner came to property following morning and apologised and made duvet up . The duvets are disgusting and I didn't use them because they were that bad . I had brought my own and we went to shops and got another. Discovered further duvets discarded in cupboard under stairs. Upstairs was okay, we had everything we needed. Wondered why so many flies around the seating area though, the carpet needs cleaned and this will help . I enjoyed my holiday but not accomodation. Even though I got this holiday at reduced rate of £500 , I think I could've found a better property to rent if I had looked harder.

Loved your beautiful cottage!

Would recommend to anyone wanting a rural holiday. Simply and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Fantastic walking just outside the door.

A perfect place to relax and taken in all the surrounds of a rural retreat.

Lovely cottage on a working farm, hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Clean and comfortable with beautiful walks on the door step. Would definitely return/recommend

We had a lovely stay at the property, comfortable and warm, with our dog welcome as well.

We would stay again.

Quiet, and in a beautiful location.

Was an extremely clean house.

Comfortable beds!!! can tell the house is well looked after! Gorgeous views and we had a fantastic break. Would really recommend this house.

A cosy ,comfortable stay in a lovely quiet location.

With very friendly owners Would definitely recommend

If you want peace and quiet for a location, this is for you.

If you want good Wi-Fi connection speeds and need to make regular phone calls - you may struggle here. Wi-Fi is shared with neighbouring properties and there is not a router in the property. I also worried that we were loud at times and the neighbouring properties could hear us (we could hear them due to the adjoining door to access next door). My son is 6”3 and was too long to fit in the bunk beds which he was also worried about climbing into as they were not very stable (ideal for smaller children). We had to put mattress on floor and my son slept on that - luckily he does not complain much otherwise we could have had a sleeping arrangement problem. There is a camp/caravan site also in the grounds and my dog loved meeting new 4 legged friends on their field. The owners were nice, friendly and helpful. They offered to do our washing - we stayed for a week (first one free, next one £2.50 which is reasonable on cost but you need to comfortable with them handling your smalls

We had a great stay at the Old Byre.

The cottage is perfect for 4, very cosy, the only negative point being that the fridge is really small for a family with 2 teenagers... One of the mattresses of the king size bed was a bit too soft. Mr and Mrs Boustead were very friendly and helpful The countryside is wonderful, plenty of opportunities to walk, either in the Yorkshire Dales or in the Lake District (1 hour drive). We'd love to come back!!

Our second stay here, but it wont be our last!

This is a excellent cottage in a lovely location with friendly and helpful owners. The living room is on the first floor and has views in three directions, with a small terrace that catches the late afternoon and evening sun - just perfect! There's also scope to catch the morning sun on the other side of the cottage. There's lots to see and do locally, especially if you're a walker or runner with several good routes from the cottage itself. The coast to coast long distance walk is less than a mile from the cottage. The hot spots of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks are easily accessible by car, but smaller places including Sedbergh (England's book town) and Kirkby Stephen are well worth exploring and there's good walks in those areas too. Try and find time to visit Orton with its handmade chocolate shop, cafe and farmers market.

I would highly recommend this property!

We stayed with our two kids at this property last weekend and the place was brilliant! It was extremely clean and tidy and just right for a family with kids. The farm was really nice too with beautiful nature for morning/evening walks. Peace and quite, yet not far from other local villages/towns.

There is no local shop, it’s 5 miles away in Kirby Stephen.

A great cottage to stay - the best we have used for several years.

The double bed was very comfortable and we both slept excellently every night. The first floor is an open plan kitchen / dining and living room which is very spacious. However the 'icing on the cake' is the first floor veranda which catches the sun from mid afternoon onwards and is a great place to chill and have evening meals. There's also an area you can sit and catch the morning sun. Ample off road car parking The owners are very friendly and helpful. There's a range of walking and running routes directly from the cottage

Beautiful area with lots of wildlife on the doorstop as well as great walking.

Kirkby Stephen not very far away which is a fascinating place to walk around with great dog friendly cafes etc.

Lovely cottage fantastic location

A spacious and warm cottage

cozy cottage with friendly hosts.

Tranquil area with Kirkby Stephen just up the road for shopping. lots of lovely walks - for all grades of walkers!. Cottage was super-clean, and ideal for a chilled out weekend

We had a short break over Christmas, so expect whatever the weather happens to bring you?

The Cottage is a beautiful up-side-down layout on a working farm and Mike and Dianne are the perfect hosts. For a tranquil relaxing stay to recharge the batteries this is the place. Not far from the Lake District and all within a short journey from here. We went to Ambleside, Keswick and Kendal in the Lakes and visited a friend near Bradford whilst we stayed here and none of it felt too far. We plan to revisit in the drier weather to explore the Yorkshire Moors more in the future. Ta muchly.

Owners of the cottage were very nice.

. friendly and nothing too much trouble, in fact very laid back

We stayed at the cottage for three nights, three adults and our well behaved dog, everything was as we had hoped.

Plenty of hot water. Comfortable beds. Enough equipment, although we went out for meals. Father was working, there for you if needed. Shops , restaurants etc were about ten minutes in the car. Well positioned for both the Lakes and North Yorkshire, very quiet and peaceful. Would book again,

We want to go above and beyond to recommend these people so highly.

They made us feel at home - showed the children round the animals, allowed them to feed baby sheep etc which they loved. The cottage was in a lovely location and so nice, clean etc with everything you could need for your stay. I also had a problem with my car on the last day and the owner (Diane) went out of her own way completely to help me - a genuine life saver to say the least! All in, we cannot recommend these people highly enough and have already been in touch about returning in the summer - one of the best holidays away in this country we have had!

Very good location, peaceful and plenty of place to walk nice pub 5mins in a car nothing near to for shopping very quietl great break for us

The farm is magnificently situated on top of the fells where it feels you are on top of the world.

Wonderful weather added extra pleasure to an unforgettable break. We are already missing the lovely pigs. Our only regret is that we were unable to take up Mike's offer of an extra night.

Friendly helpful owner.

nice cosy warm cottage

Warm cosy cottage which was clean and welcoming.

Children loved having the living room and kitchen upstairs so they could get better views across the farm during the day. A lovely stay had over the new year.

Cosy comfortable and very warm cottage in good quiet location for visiting surrounding attractions.

Very friendly hosts,but always available if required, we were made very welcome.
