This was our second visit to Easy Byre and again we were very pleased with the facilities. The cottage is well equipped and very clean and comfortable. The downstairs accomodation is so accessable for my uncle too. We hope to be back.

This is now the second time my family and I have stayed here. We absolutely love it here. Very cosy and warm yet spacious and the owners are extremely welcoming and helpful. The beds are so comfortable and, in general, it is a very relaxing place to be. The location is perfect and accessible - Will definitely be returning!! :)

Beautiful cottages, secure gated entrance and perfect for a group booking. 11 people stayed over the three cottages for a weekend which it was brilliant for. The owners are a credit to this place and are so accomodating and will help you in any way. The Dog and Gun pub is only a short walk after a few drinks which is an added bonus. Perfect location and I honestly don't think you could ask for more for a weekend away. The pictures of this place do not do it justice.

Lovely place with friendly owners. Very well equipped (even with a bread machine) and quite spacious. The seven of us (2 15 year olds, 2 17 year olds, two parents and the dog) fit comfortably in the west barn for our week long stay. Our two cars (two families) fit in the parking bays in the courtyard. There was a TV in both the upstairs bedrooms and a larger one in the main downstairs room which is a living room, dining room and kitchen combined (open-plan). There is a little fenced private patio with a table that can be accessed directly from the courtyard and the living room area. There are two

Excellent holiday rental. Fully equipped. Owners left lovely care package on arrival. Secluded place. Maybe could use a couple of fans in summer months as it is a bit of a sun trap and gets pretty warm but really lovely overall

Lovely self catering holiday cottages in a little village called Skelton surrounded by fabulous views of the hills run by a lovely couple, and only 7 miles away from the nearest town. Everything is very clean and well presented I know this as I'm there gardener.😁
