Wonderful location

Dating from 1692, this cotttage is an amazing example of an old Yorkshire cottage. Deep in the heart of Swaledale, the cottage has been well looked after and indeed recently improved in a number of areas. The rooms are surprisingly spacious for a cottage, and the amenities (kitchen, bathroom, utility room, heating, fire etc) all worked very well. The lounge was a lovely place to spend the evenign with a log fire blazing away, and the fact that we were able to do four very different long walks directly from the door was a real bonus.

Excellent cottage in a beautiful location.

This is a really comfortable and well equipped cottage in a superb location. The views across and along Swaledale from the front external seating area are spellbinding and walking from the cottage in any direction is a treat for the senses. If you like quiet and relative isolation you can't do better and yet, the lovely villages of Gunnerside and Muker in the valley are accessible on foot or otherwise, where pubs and a cafe are welcoming. The cottage kitchen is very well equipped and also standing out was the quality and comfort of the beds. These points were particularly appreciated. The ground floors are solid stone and that of the kitchen is slightly below the levels throughout the rest of the accommodation. Access to the kitchen therefore is via a small step down which was not a problem for any of us. Recommended without reservation.

Lovely cottage with stunning views!

Great for a getaway from it all type break. Amazing walks, right from the door. Cottage really clean and beautiful, we all loved it, including our two labradors. Plan ahead for food, or take your own though as nearest shops are a bit of a trip! Good curry house in Leyburn and good fish and chips from Hawes but about 20 minute drive from cottage. Great walking holiday despite changeable weather, lots to do in surrounding area. Richmond, Aysgarth, Wensleydale creamery, all worth a visit. Most pubs very dog friendly. Can't wait to go back but will do a food shop before we go or get Tesco to deliver when we get there. In love with the Dales now, missing it already now we are back home!

Perfect property to enjoy the Yorkshire Dales

The property is in a super location. The views are beautiful with some lovely walking right on the doorstep. The accommodation was clean and comfortable for the six adults, one baby and two dogs in our family group. It was very well equipped. The owner and manager provided a very efficient, friendly service and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at East Calvert Cottage. We would definitely recommend the cottage to friends and family and would love to return for another holiday to enjoy the peace and tranquility that East Calvert Cottage provided. ECC is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some of the superb walking that the Yorkshire Dales provide.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Maggie Farmer

We live in Bournemouth, but my husband loves walking in Swaledale. So when our son took a place at Sheffield University, we took the opportunity to buy East Calvert House - and we love it!

Why they chose this property

We love the fact you can walk for miles in many directions from the cottage door, amid spectacular scenery. The Farmer's Arms at Muker is just a half hour walk away through the fields.
