Overview

East Calvert House is a gorgeous family cottage with fantastic south-facing views of Swaledale.

The cottage has all the conveniences of home, with a feel for luxurious comfort and dales character combined. The cottage is in a rural setting and south-facing, so is flooded with sunshine all day long, and the enclosed patio to the front is also sunny.

The living and dining rooms are spacious and ooze atmosphere, with traditional beamed and boarded ceilings and stone flagged floors. The living room has a 40″ smart TV and an open fire, all coal included.

The roomy main bedroom has a comfy kingsize bed and lovely views over the dale, as has the twin bedroom. The kitchen, bathroom and shower rooms are all newly fitted, making it easy to relax in luxury after a day’s rambling from the door. Note, PERSONAL TOWELS ARE NOT INCLUDED.

You’ll love to sit in the garden with a glass of wine and admire the beauty of Swaledale spread out as far as the eye can see. A perfect holiday in beautiful Swaledale! Week bookings run from FRIDAY to FRIDAY.

We had a wonderful week at East Calvert House and the weather was superb. It is a really lovely area with so many fantastic walks from the house. The places recommended to eat at were all very good – particularly loved the Ghyllfoot bistro!Sally Parker, Woodbridge

Testimonials

A lovely cottage in a stunning location – ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’ – just perfect! We had a lovely relaxing week here, lazy mornings and afternoon walks – so nice not to have the days dictated by an alarm clock! East Calvert House is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in (if not the best) on our numerous trips to Swaledale. As soon as we entered it, we felt at home and our two ‘boys’, Charlie and Buster, soon settled in! I’m sure we will return again!Mr and Mrs Shepherdson, North Killingholme
Our 2nd visit to ECH! We looked forward to it since last time and we were not disappointed. All is well, with good accommodation. Swaledale at its best and time for walking in this special place. Thanks!Jean, John and Charlie (the retriever)
Lovely, lovely week in Swaledale. Thank-you for a lovely stay in a very comfortable cottage. Kids, dog and parents have explored the dale – literally rock by rock. FabThe Hesketh family, Herts
The Lawrance family from Durham celebrating a special holiday. Thank-you! A beautiful cottage in a lovely setting, well appointed and everything we could wish for – a real treat!Sarah Lawrance, Durham
We had a fantastic Easter break here at the cottage. Lots of glorious walks in the morning and trips to surrounding villages in the afternoons. A great family holiday for us!The Ridgleys, Winchester
