Absolutely amazing been twice and can't wait to go back highly recommend to everyone

Don't even know where to begin!! The views were spectacular, which was hugely amplified by the firepit outside and fireplace inside the cabin. The homemade food like the tomato sauce, free-range eggs from the coop and cheese were made with passion. And that's not even to begin with how lovely and attentive the couple who hosted are. A truly magical place to stay. We will definitely coming back. Couldn't recommend enough. Please keep doing the magical job you are clearly doing. We love how special you made us feel . You've made memories for us that we will hold dear forever 😊

We enjoyed a most relaxing stay at the Byre. The location was absolutely stunning and the room was very cosy and inviting. Emanuela and Karen were the perfect hosts - very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and great to know that it was mostly grown or made at the cottage. I have recommended the byre to all of my friends and we’ll definitely be back for another visit - and more of the homemade plum gin!

A perfect little getaway if you’re looking for a unique and relaxing glamping experience! Everything is as described; very attentive hosts and I really loved the homemade food menu that was provided, the only regret I have is not having enough time to try any of the amazing produce!! Beautiful location, would recommend ☺️

We had a fabulous stay at Emanuela's place. The location is so peaceful and perfect for a nice long walks (don't miss the waterfall) and the place was ideal for a little gate-away.

A wonderful stay with absolutely lovely hostesses Ema and Karen . Food was delicious and great to be able to grab an evening supper at the cottage. We didn't want to leave !

Thank you for a wonderful stay here. The food was delicious and the amenities were great with lovely views and fire pit area to enjoy dinner watching the sunset. Emanuela gave us recommendations of hikes, wild swimming spots and things to do which was so helpful. Would really recommend this place.

We spent a night in one of the cabins at Crackpot Cottage to break up a long driving trip to Leeds. The weather was too dismal to be able to sit out and enjoy a camp fire, but we were warm and cosy in the cabin with wine and great pizza provided by the hosts. Luckily we were able to enjoy a fine breakfast outside in the morning, with some time to take in the beautiful scenery and say hello to the lovely chickens. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

We loved our stay at the cabin! Emanuela and Karen were so helpful with recommendations and the food was delicious. There are nice walks to do around the area and the views of the dales are amazing, especially the riverside walk to Reeth. Definitely recommend staying here for anyone looking to find somewhere peaceful and relaxing, perfect escapism!

Emanuela, your place was idyllic. 100% would recommend to anyone who needs a peaceful break from their normal life. I had real difficulty finding the place but this is completely my own fault, all instructions were sent and well communicated but as a warning to future guests the signal is ideal for getting away from normal busy life but not very good if you completely forget the lovely instructions you very kind host has sent you in advance of turning up. My advice... remember to read all the emails and communication thoroughly before setting off. The perfect get away at a fantastic price!
