Diane
November 2024

“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.

- Diane, November 2024

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. As always it’s really appreciated and makes the work of running holiday cottage’s worthwhile. Merry Christmas to you and all. Hope to see you again sometime? Dan and the family Property Owner
Sarah November 2024

“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.

- Sarah, November 2024

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
Peter November 2024

“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.

- Peter, November 2024

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

Pam September 2024

“A lovely cosy, comfortable place.”

Very well eqipped. Lots of extras tea/coffee/milk /cookies etc. An abundance of soft fluffy large towels. We were made very welcome and lovely to have the property introduced to us personally. We felt very at home.

- Pam, September 2024

It was a pleasure to meet you both Pam and Bob. Thank you so very much for your wonderful review. It always makes me happy to know that people like the cottage and I’m so, so glad that you enjoyed your stay here in Snainton. It was great having you here and I’m just sorry I didn’t get to chat with you both a bit more. Anyway you’re welcome back anytime if you ever decide to visit the area again. Even if you’re just passing through and fancy a cuppa. I’m usually somewhere around. All the best to you both and thanks again. Dan Property Owner
Kevin September 2024

“Lovely cottage, Daniel has thought about everything you would need for your stay.”

Even fruit, milk and a bottle of wine which was a very nice thought.

- Kevin, September 2024

Hi there. So sorry for being such a slouch in responding to your feedback. It was great to meet you guys and I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. I wanted to say a big thank you for leaving the cottage clean and tidy which I really appreciate as it makes my life a little bit easier on the changeover day. Hope to have you come and stay again. All the best from Dan and the 3 furballs. Property Owner
Stephen August 2024

“We were met on our arrival by Dan who showed us around the cottage and made us very welcome, nice touches with a bottle of wine, fruit and biscuits.”

Bob and Dave the cats popped in to say hello as well

- Stephen, August 2024

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. And Bob even dragged himself off his perch on your departure day to wave you off! I’m really glad you both enjoyed your stay and I hope that we might see you again. If you’re ever in the vicinity then please feel free to pop in for a cuppa. P.s. Quickline communications didn’t turn up on Friday Property Owner
Dave July 2024

“Cow Byre is a great little cottage, very comfortable and with everything you need to enjoy your stay.”

The welcome pack provided by Dan was extremely generous. Dan was a very friendly host and I would have no hesitation in returning to this cottage when we revisit this area.

- Dave, July 2024

Absolute pleasure to meet you both and I really enjoyed chatting with you. Hope to see you again sometime in the future (the new tap will be a dream to use next time you come Property Owner
Peter July 2024

“Excellent accomodation.”

Situated ideally as a base for visiting Bridlington, Filey, Bempton, Flaborough to name but a few places. Paddock at back with secure gate which was ideal for our dog to stretch her legs.

- Peter, July 2024

Hi Peter. It was lovely to meet you and your wife and I’m really sorry that I didn’t get to see a bit more of you both. Hope you made it back home safely? Thank you so much for your great review and I’m really glad you had a great stay. Just a shame about the British weather eh? Thank you again and hopefully see you again sometime.

“A wonderful holiday cottage for two.”

The little extras provided by Dan were the icing on the cake. Nothing was too much trouble. We will return.

- Michael, June 2024

It was a real pleasure to meet you both and I’m glad you enjoyed your little break away from grandparent duties. Thank you too for leaving the cottage nice and clean…it made it a nice easy changeover for me before my own holiday. Hope to see you both again at some point. All the best to you. Kindest regards Dan Property Owner
Jill May 2024

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

- Jill, May 2024

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. Dan Property Owner
Julie April 2024

“Fabulous stay at Cow Byre Cottage What a gem, the cottage is so homely, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated with everything you need to ensure a comfortable stay.”

Dan is the perfect host; nothing is too much trouble. Thank you for the bottle of wine, cookies and fruit what a lovely touch. The cottage is ideally located whether you enjoy walking or sightseeing, coast or moors. We will definitely be back! Thanks Dan.

- Julie, April 2024

Many thanks for such a kind review. It was a pleasure to meet you both and I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. Glad you made it home safely to Milton Keynes. I hope your Dad’s glad to have you back Julie? Absence makes the heart grow fonder??? Take good care of yourself and each other. Hopefully see you again back here in Yorkshire where the roads are designed for bikes and sporty BMW’s Property Owner
Vicki April 2024

Angela March 2024

“A wonderful place to stay with a very welcoming but unintrusive host.”

Great location and the cottage provided everything we needed plus the host was very generous in all the goodies he provided - very thoughtful. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Angela, March 2024

Thank you so much for your great feedback Ange. I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay here in Snainton and the cottage too. It was lovely to meet you both.

Stuart February 2024

“Superb weekend!”

Spotlessly clean cottage, beautiful surroundings, we had a very relaxing break. In fact, we’d love to retire to Cow Byre Cottage! Many thanks.

- Stuart, February 2024

It was a real pleasure to meet you both and I’m so happy that you enjoyed your stay. You are most welcome back anytime. Hopefully my nephew might have gotten around to making the new front door to replace the sticky one by then?!?!? Property Owner
Michael February 2024

“Beautiful, clean and comfortable accommodation.”

Probably one of the best we have stayed in.❤️ Thank you Dan for the milk, wine and fruit. We had a wonderful stay at Cow Byre Cottage and hope to come back in the near future.

Pam February 2024

“This is indeed a 5 star cottage.”

You walk into a spotlessly clean home from home. It really is beautiful from the modern kitchen , through the comfortable lounge area , past the equally modern bathroom to the very calming bedroom done out in pale cream colours . The extras that Dan , the owner, provides ( fruit , wine etc. ) are an unexpected treat . The whole cottage is a joy. Thank you Dan for another lovely week despite the weather.

- Pam, February 2024

It was brilliant to see you both again. Like you said it was a shame about the weather. I think everyone has about had enough of all this rain. Roll on spring! I’m glad you had a nice week and to hear how much you like the cottage. Hopefully the redecoration will meet with your approval and the new sofas (if I can find an upholsterer with enough time to get them done Property Owner
Julia November 2023

“We had a three night stay in the delightful Cow Byrne cottage .”

It is well maintained to a high standard .The fruit ,wine and cookies were a nice touch and much appreciated. There is a small paddock which is ideal if you have a dog . Thank you Dan for your warm welcome I think we will be back next summer for a longer stay Julia

- Julia, November 2023

Morning Julia. Hope you and the Mister got safely. It was a pleasure to meet you both, albeit briefly. I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage to your liking. It would be great to see you again in the warmer months when it’s a bit nicer to stand outside and have a bit of a chinwag. All the very best to you both and have a wonderful Christmas and new year. Dan and family Property Owner

“Great place to stay !”

Are only issue was court yard gate always open to busy street so our dog couldn't go out unaccompanied .Dan the host very helpful and welcoming, TV freesat is a little complicated and could be simplified to on hand set. Very clean and comfortable, was a little warm , only a 2 windows that opened a little , fans are supplied though Overall a good place to stay

“Very good location and homely feel.”

Only possible improvement would be a blackout blind or curtains in the bedroom.

- Geoff, June 2023

Sorry for the delay in responding to your feedback Geoff. I’m really glad you both enjoyed your visit and it was great to meet you. I shall try and get around to putting a black out blind in the bedroom…I’m planning on doing some redecorating in the cottages in the new year so probably then. Thanks again. Dan and the furrys (Bob, Dave and Charlie) Property Owner
Carol June 2023

“It was our first time renting a cottage to be able to take our dog (Poppie) and it was a very good choice.”

The owner was friendly and very helpful, the cottage had everything you needed to be home from home and we would highly recommend it. Carol and Ian + Poppie

- Carol, June 2023

It was great to meet you both and Poppie. I’m sorry I didn’t get too much time to stop and talk but still enjoyed the few chats we actually did have. Hope you managed to make it home safely and the drive wasn’t too much of a chore. All the very best to you both and thank you so very much for your great review. P.S. I’m hoping the short break might have inspired Ian to get his motorbike up and running again. Might be just the tonic to have a rideable bike once again??? Kindest regards, Dan and the 3 furry terrorists Property Owner

Michael December 2022

“We had a lovely 3 night stay at Cow Byre Cottage.”

The place is really cosy and had everything we needed for our visit, even greeted with wine and chocolates to celebrate New Year. The cottage was ideally situated for our walks around Thornton Le Dale and Dalby Forrest. The local pub down the lane (Coachman Inn) had great food and a lovely atmosphere so would also recommend eating out. If only the weather had been much better to make it a perfect break. We'll be back again sometime over the summer as we thoroughly enjoyed it. Mike and Julie (& Tia the dog)

- Michael, December 2022

Hi Mike and Julie and Tia. I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a great review. I thought I’d take the time to apologise for not getting around to saying hello. I usually would but this time I’m afraid I was a little run off my feet with family duties and also taking care of the 3 little kittens. Trying to be in too many places at once/too much to do and not enough time and all that malarkey! You guys are more than welcome back anytime…the cottage was spotless after you left and it’s so appreciated when guests leave it so. Thank you. And thank you again for your kind words. All the best for 2023 and I really hope to see you if you come to stay again. Kindest regards from Dan (Dave, Bob and Charlie). Property Owner
Lucy December 2022

“An absolute gem.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped, cosy and comfortable. It was one of the best cottages we have stayed in. Daniel was very helpful and friendly. Look forward to staying again.

- Richard, October 2022

Hi Richard. Just wanted to say thank you for coming to stay and for your great feedback. It’s always so good to hear when guests have enjoyed their stay. It was nice to meet you and your wife and I must say a special thanks for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy (can’t stress enough how much myself and the cleaner appreciate it). Thank you. I really hope you do have the occasion to come again. You’re both more than welcome. All the best, Dan Property Owner

Hey guys. Always a treat to see you. Look forward to seeing you again next year. D Property Owner
Jill August 2022

“Lovely cottage, very clean, everything you need for self catering.”

Loved the large screen TV & Netflix. Only downside would be if you wanted to sit out in the area next to the cottage & your dog was a runner, as it's not fenced in. But clever idea with the door, where you can have it open with a small, medium gap or totally open it. There is also a paddock that is gated with seats etc Lovely touch with the milk, wine & fruit

- Jill, August 2022

Hi Jill. Thank you for your excellent review. It was and is very much appreciated. Hope to see you again sometime. Dan Property Owner
Andrew August 2022

Thank you Andrew. Glad you had a nice stay here in Snainton. It was nice to meet you.

All the best. Dan Property Owner
Pauline August 2022

- Veronica, May 2022

Hallooo there Veronica. So sorry that I’ve taken a little while to respond to your feedback. I’m really happy that you had a lovely holiday.

“This is the second time that we have stated at this cottage because we have been more than happy on both occasions with literally everything, apart from the weather the second time, but in all fairness, it was October.”

Monica April 2021

“Our stay at Cow Byre cottage was perfect.”

The place was spotless clean, nicely decorated, lots of small lovely details. Great shower, kitchen fully equipped including tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, a bowl of fresh fruit and a nice bottle of wine. Having a fully enclosed paddock nearby meant that exercising my dog and taking her for toilet outings was easy. Dan the owner was always around, very helpful and flexible. It was everything we needed for a 4 days break. The village was quiet and well located to drive either to the coastal towns or to York. I would definitely recommend this cottage and it will stay on my shortlist of nice places to return!

“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.
