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.

We had a lovely time in the cottage. It is very well equipped, the kitchen had everything you need. The little ones especially enjoyed discovering the wide range of toys, books and board games tucked away around the house. The beautiful and quiet surroundings made our stay very relaxing and we even spotted the red squirrel feeding in the morning hours. Definitely recommend for those (and others) searching for place away from the hustle and bustle. The hosts were very communicative and attentive.

A magical place, away from the crowds, in the most beautiful countryside. The house was perfect - very spacious and clean, with piles of games, books and puzzles. The kids enjoyed splashing about and hunting for fosils down by the river. The red squirrels visiting the bird feeders right outside the window was the icing on the cake!
