“Brilliant accommodation. Very clean and modern, while feeling very homely. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and private enough to feel like you're away from it all. A very comfortable stay.”

“Great family holiday with the dogs at The Byers, fantastic barn conversion. Clean and tidy and just how it looks on the photos. The enclosed garden with the seating area is fab and the dogs could wander in and out. Peaceful location but also near lots of activities and we also had a day out to the Metro Centre in Gateshead. We didn’t want to leave. Hosts very responsive and great communication. Would book again.”
