The Byre matches that standard. We received a warm welcome and felt at home immediately. The only niggle we had ⦠and this applies to most hotels and cottages we have stayed in ⦠regards the lack of good lighting for reading. We prefer to read in the evenings rather than watch TV and have always found this an issue. But that said we loved The Byre, the sensitive and well considered transformation of the old farm buildings and the peace and quiet of the surroundings. There is so much to see in the area so I think we will be returning to The Byre.

Private and secluded and close to lovely town of Richmond. We dined twice in the Rustique Richmond, where the service and food were good. Only suggestion regarding the cottage would be to change light bulbs in living area to brighter LED ones as current lighting is insufficient for size of room. Despite that we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property. The cakes and wine left by Ann much appreciated. Ken and Mary.
