The Old Byre is an exceptional property which is fitted out to the highest of standards. It was comfortable, and well equipped with everything you could possibly want. The friendly owners had thought of everything and you couldn’t want for more. The Welcome Pack of home made cookies to the flowers and bubbly was lovely and nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend it.
