Choices, choices!
Below are a few pointers to help you choose which is the cottage that best suits your needs. These descriptions compare The Byre and The Dairy. The Dairy is very similar to The Byre in all aspects except that it is on the ground floor only and also provides accessibility for mobility, visual and hearing impairments. See The Dairy & Accessibility pages for more information. If you have any queries or specific requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss.

After having stayed at The Byre and Inglenook Cottage (which we have sold in 2024), they couldn't decide which cottage to stay in for a third visit. So they tossed a coin! We were delighted to welcome them back to completed the trilogy by staying at The Dairy!
