The cottage was really comfortable and spacious. My brother and sister who are visually impaired absolutely loved it. It was so peaceful. I would highly recommend the Byre.

Deborah

Lovely spacious, comfortable, very well presented house. Ideal for large groups/ family gatherings. Equipped with all you could need, it feels like a home. Views are wonderful and with a 15/20 minutes easy walk into Seahouses. Second time weâ??ve stayed here and we will be staying again.

Jane

Amazing property, with a view we didnâ??t want to leave â?¦ the home was very well equipped and extremely comfortable for 8 of us 20 minutes walk into Seahouses ( torch needed if dark )

Terri

The house is absolutely stunning, the views are wow!!! There was nothing we were missing for a self catering holiday the owners had thought of everything. We will definitely be back

Linda

The Byrne has been beautifully renovated and is equipped with everything you need for a holiday. We would happily return in future.

Ann

There is nothing negative to say about this beautiful cottage in Seahouses. 8 ladies travelling from Scotland and Darlington celebrating family twins turning 60 and we could not have chosen a better place to be. The rooms were set out as 8 single beds on request and this was just perfect for us all to be together - bonus. The standard of the utensils, crockery, appliances is second to none and the views are to die for!! Looking for a cottage with location in mind, then this is the one to choose.

Mandy

Well what can I say, we had an absolutely amazing holiday at Byre@Westfield! The â??Barngalowâ?? as my husband named it is delightful. Absolutely everything was first class. The location is perfect & the views are to die for, none of our family wanted to leave. This was our first time here, but Iâ??m sure it wonâ??t be our last.

Laura

Amazing place, gorgeous house, beautiful views. We stayed as a group of 6 (4 adults and 2 children) and we all couldn't have been happy with the cottage. The place was spotlessly clean and absolutely stunning. Only problem we had was that we didn't want to leave!
