Kay and Andy welcome you to their comfortable and well equipped self-catering properties in the tranquil and picturesque Eden Valley in Cumbria. Originally a 17th-century farmstead, Scalebeck nestles peacefully in the heart of the Eden Valley, just one mile from the pretty village of Great Asby, and 5 miles from the market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland.

The beauty of this area has recently been recognised formally as 'The Westmorland Dales National Park'. The Eden Valley is surrounded by the Lake District National Park to the west, Yorkshire Dales National Park to the south, the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the East, and the Scottish Borders and Hadrians Wall to the North.

As well as glorious countryside, Eden is home to castles, gardens, conservation villages, and some of the best local food producers Cumbria has to offer. At the heart of it all, Scalebeck Holiday Cottages are located in the tranquil and picturesque Eden Valley in Cumbria. Within easy reach of The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and North Pennines there are plenty of options for days out.
