Guests say
East House Farm is a beautifully maintained cottage in a stunning, tranquil, and remote location, perfect for those seeking peace, nature, and scenic walks. Guests consistently praise the spotless cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable, spacious interiors. Wildlife sightings, especially red squirrels, are a highlight. The property is ideal for walkers and those wanting to escape the bustle, though it is quite isolated, so bringing provisions is recommended. Thoughtful touches such as welcome packs are frequently mentioned, though not guaranteed. Communication with the owners is excellent, and many guests are eager to return.
Multiple reviews describe the cottage as spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, with no negative comments regarding cleanliness.
The location is repeatedly praised for its beauty, tranquillity, and remoteness, ideal for walkers and nature lovers. The only minor drawback noted is the lack of nearby amenities, which most guests found to be a positive aspect.
Guests highlight the comfort of the beds, spacious living areas, and the overall homely feel. One taller guest found the shower a bit cramped, but this was a minor issue.
The cottage is described as very well equipped, with a well-stocked kitchen, games, books, and everything needed for a comfortable stay. Occasional minor maintenance issues (e.g., boiler, water colour) were mentioned but did not detract from the overall experience.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as welcome packs and detailed information folders. While these gestures are frequently noted, it should be politely stated that such gifts are not guaranteed.

The beautiful hamlet of Beckermonds is positioned in the very heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This detached holiday cottage makes an ideal retreat from everyday life, being one of only five dwellings in this secluded location. Beckermonds, from the ‘Old Norse’, means the ‘meeting of the streams’. It is here, at the confluence of Oughtershaw and Greenfield becks that the River Wharfe starts its journey through Langstrothdale, into Upper Wharfedale and then continues to define one of the most celebrated dales. Nestled in the valley, East House Farm has glorious views from almost every window. Its spacious and airy accommodation is beautifully presented and from the peaceful, south facing, lawned front garden, you can expect to see rare red squirrels and a variety of wildlife.
Right outside the door are memorable walking opportunities set amid breathtaking scenery. Your doorstep also offers private fly fishing (trout, free of charge, Mar-Sep). Contained within a 5 mile easy walking radius you’ll find three quintessential dales’ pubs; the George at Hubberholme; the White Lion at Cray and the Buck Inn at Buckden. Why not visit them together, in an 11 mile circuit walk? The market town of Hawes is only a 7-mile drive away and offers a selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, banks and a chemist, as well as a traditional British fish and chip restaurant. Hawes is also the home to the famous Hawes Creamery, makers of Wallace and Gromit`s favourite Wensleydale cheese. Shop 5 miles, pub and restaurant 4 miles.

The Farmhouse is delightfully situated in a quiet location. It is spacious, spotlessly clean ,very well maintained and equipped. Despite the heatwave the house remained refreshingly cool. Very happy to recommend.

Beautiful cottage in a very peaceful location. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped, we wanted for nothing. The front garden as regularly visited by a variety of bird life, rabbits and red squirrels. Completed some great walks from the door, no need to drive. Very good communication from the owners. We would definitely return.
