Angela was very welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for her. I would highly recommend The Byre for a peaceful and relaxing break in a beautiful part of the country. The lemon drizzle cake Angela left for us was delicious and very much appreciated. All in all, no complaints whatsoever. We would have no hesitation in returning.
