Historic converted byre in courtyard of 16C house

Our stay at the Byre was lovely, the setting was perfect and the building exceeded our expectations.

Pros: The Byre is situated in a rural area with views across the fields, the hosts were lovely and showed us how everything worked in the property. The inside of the Byre was very quirky set on three levels and beautifully decorated, the original stonework is on display along with the original roof beams. The kitchen was well equipped, with a full cooker/oven, toaster, coffee maker, etc, the hosts even provided cereal. The bed was very comfy, and building was warm despite the terrible weather outside. We used it as a base camp when visiting towns and villages in the area and looked forward to getting back in the evening.

Cons: There was very little not to like about the location, the building or the hosts. The only thing that did cause me some concern was the antique chairs at the kitchen table which seemed a little delicate.

Peaceful and well appointed byre where you can relax!

Pros: Lovely converted byre in a beautiful setting. Homemade scones and cake on arrival - a real treat! Well appointed with lots provided - tea, coffee machine with pods, cereals, washing powder and capsules for washing machine and dishwasher, lots of crockery and cooking pots/pans. Clothes dryer very useful too. Comfortable bed. Recommendations of things to do in the area, very friendly and welcoming hosts.

Cons: Shower cubicle is quite small. More remote than anticipated, but located in a beautiful area. Inside oven could do with a clean.

Cosy, peaceful retreat.

Pros: Really cosy and quiet. A perfect getaway for a couple. The house was very well equipped and there were lots of little luxuries like candles, robes and a nespresso coffee machine. Beautiful scones on arrival.

Cons: Everything was perfect

Blissful country retreat

Pros: A truly blissful country setting for those who don't mind being reasonably isolated down winding country lanes. The hosts Jen and Richard were delightful and welcoming. The fresh home baking on arrival was particularly well received... scones with clotted cream and jam... scrumptious. The historic barn conversion maintains its character while ensuring all modern conveniences are present. We would definitely return (ideally in drier weather;)

Loved the Byre. An excellent stay.

Pros: Stunning stay at the Byre. Great friendly welcome from the owners, with a home made afternoon tea waiting on the kitchen table. Plenty of facilities (kitchen, dvds, games), great set up and wonderful views. Loved the layout, decor and cosy feeling. Sad to come home. Plus great location, quiet but a short drive to plenty.

Amazing place!

Pros: Everything, the place is amazing and Richard and Jen are really nice people. Our kids loved the house and the area. You arrive and you have freshly homemade pies! Whatelse! The gardens, are also to mentioned, just fantastic! Definetely looking forward to return again!

Cons: Nothing, everything was fantastic!!! We read some comments to a close dairy farm. To us just ads value to the place! Even more authentic!

Just delightful.

Pros: Not wanting to be unoriginal, but like Craig from Australia, whose review is further down, this would be the favourite place we've stayed at in 4 weeks in the UK. We wish we'd booked for longer. The converted byre was not only really well equipped, but lovely and tasteful, with a friendly, cosy air. Both Jen and Richard were welcoming and very helpful (thanks for the excellent instructions re: directions and for the scones , jam & cream). As if all this wasn't enough, there were the gardens! I don't have words enough for the gardens! Beautiful area. It was wonderful to get away from the hussle of cities and tourist areas and just relax.

A great stay and thank you for the cream tea and cake.

Pros: We loved the property. It was beautifully furnished and it had everything we needed and more. The garden was fabulous and the whole experience was just what we needed. Warm and welcoming.

Beautiful

Pros: For a couple, there was lots of space, very clean and some nice personal touches by the owners.

A charming place. Full of character, inside and out.

Pros: The glowing reviews are justified. A really lovely place and very nice owners. I'd give it 9.5 if I could.

Cons: No complaints really.
