Eldon Country

The house is absolutely beautiful, it catered over and above for all our needs. Each bedroom had its own ensuite, the beds were a dream, it was almost like staying in an hotel but it was all yours. We had the best time there despite the weather , I would most definitely recommend it, also the owners were at the end of the phone and couldnt have been more helpful. So I say thank you very much for our stay at Eldon house

A lovely property in a beautiful part of the country. Well equipped, comfortable and nice and warm. Particularly enjoyed the hot tub, the lounge dining area and the views from the garden.

Great property and facilities and as somebody else has mentioned, big enough to spread out in different rooms. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay at this wonderful house. Plenty of room for our group allowing parents and grandchildren on one floor and grandparents on the next. The hot tub went down well after returning from walks. We also tried the Maypole for Sunday dinner and would recommend. From the moment I booked to checking out, the owners were on hand to answer any questions. Very clear information provided to get you started.

Lovely and warm house with very clean rooms, great facilities and beautiful surroundings. Perfect family gathering for 8 with plenty room for all. Station in the village made it a great opportunity for us all to go into Skipton. Booked dinner Saturday evening in the Maypole pub lush meal, great value and a lovely welcome. The surrounding area was great to explore with a fantastic cheese shop just outside Settle, a lovely town with lots of individual shops and nice pubs. We had a great loop walk around the Ribblehead Viaduct on Sunday and the weather was superb all weekend. Fabulous!

What a lovely rental. It was like having a hotel facilities all to ourselves.

Great spacious property that was ideal for us as a large family. Great location to unwind and relax. Kids loved the large garden and the hot tub. Owners were very good and responsive. Would highly recommend.

As a group of adults and young children, we found Eldon a great place for a weekend away. The house is large enough for big groups without feeling on top of each other and the outdoor terrace and garden were perfect for our needs. Good location for exploring Skipton and Settle, nice pub a short walk away, and lots of parking at the house. However, the house in general could do with some TLC and a deep clean is definitely needed. The foisty smell hits as soon as you walk in. Lots of cobwebs, dust, paint and wallpaper chipped and marked etc. As many other reviews have said, the water pressure is not good the toilets struggle to flush even toilet roll. The kitchen is ok the oven took a long time to cook food and the provided pans and trays were old and definitely not non stick! Would recommend taking your own tea towels as only two were provided and they stunk! Youre asked to clean the oven, fridge, strip the beds and leave in separate piles with towels bit much for a 10am check out. Never been told to do this at other stays. On the day of check out the cleaner arrived at 8.30 to clean the hot tub, the owner then arrived at 9am to drop off supplies. Wed read in other reviews that the cleaners turned up at 9.45 and let themselves in so we left before this. It is NOT acceptable for people to be entering before check out. Found the bond system strange basically have to send 100 and its up to the owner if they send it back or not. Other reviews have had issues but ours was returned the next day after prompting. Over all had a great time, not sure we would recommend to friends due to issues above.

Very well presented and comfortable property to stay in, ideal for a group of friends of family. Would recommend.

This is a really nice big holiday home which positioned very well for the three peaks and other dale walking. There is also a great pub in Long Preston called the Maypole that does both food and drink. The house has a big driveway and all rooms are en suite. Really enjoyed our stay.

A lovely place to stay in a really good location. Lovely lounge dining area. The kitchen was very user friendly & the bedrooms were all nice too. A lovely local pub in the village serving lovely food

We all had a wonderful time at Eldon Country, 9 of us! The house was lovely and the perfect base for walking, exploring the dales. All the rooms were nice and comfortable and we all slept well. The only slight downside was the water pressure, as all the rooms had en suites if we all had a shower at the same time it became a trickle. Didnt detract from the lovely house and setting as we soon got used to showering at different times haha. Thanks for letting us use your lovely house.

There was a group of 7 of us girls. We all had the best weekend stay at this lovely property. Everything you need for a break away. And we all had own bathrooms as most rooms had ensuites. We stayed in first night played games and the use of the hot tub was as an added perk for celebration and relaxation. It does state planning permission for the tub is 9pm which initially we were concerned with but actually it worked out absolutely fine. Another day we headed to skipton on the train 5mins walk from house, 5.80 return, and the final day we went for a lovely walk through the dales using the Komoot app which suggested 56 walks of all different lengths and abilities from the village itself We used the pub one night for a meal. A short walk from the property and the food was ok, did the job but not amazing. Nice staff but no music and not much atmosphere although they did start to play some music for us after we asked and plus we were the only ones in the dining room haha. We would definitely consider staying at the Eldon country house again in the future.

Weve had a lovely 3 days stay at this property. The property is over 3 floors allowing privacy for each family. We had 3 Children under the age of 8 so the hot tub went down really well. I would recommend this to large families to get together and have quality family time.

Had a wonderful weekend stay in this well placed country house. A few minor issues experienced which were dealt with in a timely manner by the owner Cheryl. Great that all bedrooms had en suite bathrooms along with comfy beds and adequate storage. Well equipped kitchen, plus a bonus that cleaning products dishwasher tablets & washing up liquid included. Plenty of seating in the pleasant sitting room along with a decent sized dining table. Good selection of music & books The hot tub was ready to be used and was definitely a great addition. The exterior of the property rendering does require some maintenance but didnt impact on our stay. Would benefit from updating the information book. Thank you to Cheryl for a great stay.

8 of us had a fantastic break at Eldon Country House from 912 December. Having stayed the previous year we had no problem booking it again this year. The house is very spacious and easily accommodated 10 of us last year and 8 this year. Our disappointment at there being no Christmas decorations up was immediately addressed by the owners who came round and put up a tree and decorations which was really appreciated. The owners are very friendly and very helpful. The cottage is in easy reach to Skipton and Settle both of which we visited. We would recommend this property to anybody.

A lovely property in an ideal location for visiting Settle, Ingleton, Mallam and Skipton. We really appreciated the fact that all rooms had the use of their own bathrooms. There was plenty of space so we didn't feel cramped. We made good use of the hot tub which relieved all the aches and pains caused by our long walks.

No toilet paper in several bathrooms on arrival no actual toilet holders either?

We had a great week at Eldon house. It was perfect for our stay. The hot tub was fabulous. The house catered for all our needs and it is in a great location to see the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. So many places to visit within a 30 minute drive. To top it all off we had exceptional weather. A fabulous week had by all.

A beautiful property in a nice location. But unfortunately that is all that was positive about the experience. The listing was inaccurate, the property is semi detached which is not mentioned on the listing and neighbours came knocking on the doors and complained of noise. When mentioned to the owner we were told that this happens often and we shouldn't bother about it. The property was not clean, light switches were broken and we had to use the bed side lamp in our room. The water pressure was very poor with barely any water coming out from some taps in the top floors, the wifi did not work for most part of our stay and there were random items left about upon which a child tripped and hurt himself. The owner visited the premises the day before we were meant to leave without prior notice, and began cleaning the hot tub while we were there. The owners were also back again at the crack of dawn of the morning we were supposed to leave i.e hours before we were required to leave with linen etc. After vacating the property the owner was silent about the house keeping deposit. When we enquired about the deposit more than 5 days later the owner sent a list of issues including drain blockages which cannot be caused over a four night stay pictures of rubbish we had not left behind, and also included charges for the cleaner's fee. We have been to many places up and down the country before but never been through anything like this. Hence, unfortunately we cannot recommend this place to anyone that needs 'a holiday'. Please read reviews of this place on other sites like TripAdvisor too before booking unfortunately we only saw these later. Despite all of this if you do book, please make sure you take pictures of everything as soon as you step in to the property or you may be accused of things you did not do. Thank you.

Spent a weekend at this fabulous property with friends. Stunning property with beautiful grounds. All bedrooms were spacious with ensuites bar one with its own bathroom essential for a group of ladies! Beautiful decore throughout and plenty of room for a party of 10 well stocked with crockery, glasses etc. Huge hottub and patio area great for the first day with sun. Second day rained, however pub 5 minute short walk serving excellent cuisine. Would definitely recommend this superb home for a group who enjoy a bit of class!

This is a really lovely property in a stunning area of the country. The kitchen was well appointed and all bathrooms and bedrooms were spotless . We had fun in the evenings playing cards around the dining table which fit the 10 of us round it comfortably. Our children and grandchildren loved the hot tub while we sat on the patio with an Aperol . A very pleasant week. The Black Horse Hellifield is a nice pub and its next door to the chippy . The Maypole pub is in walking distance from Eldon Hose and has a decent menu. The gardens at Eldon House are brilliant for a game of football or tennis .

Loved this property. Great location. The owner was on hand immediately with any of our queries. Everything we needed was there.

We went for a little break as a group of friends and loved the experience. The house was very clean when we arrived and we were very impressed with how lovely it was. Hot tub was up and running beautifully and the beds were extremely comfortable. We were a group of 6 so used all the bedrooms and bathrooms so we do wish there was a couple more loo roll but other than that we enjoyed every single minute. I know for a fact we'll be looking to stay here again in the future. Easy to find. Great places to visit close by and oh so quiet. So peaceful!

We really liked the house but there were a few minor things that really need attention. No towel rails in some of the bathrooms so drying towels is difficult. Drainage from the washbasin in at least one of the bathrooms painfully slow. Instructions could do with improving nothing about the heating system that we could see. But there is a huge amount of space, the garden and views are great and parking arrangements are excellent. So overall a nice stay.

Booked for 4 separate friendscouples for a weeks walking. This is a former hotel with the accommodation taking up the majority of the space and two further parts which are separate but adjoining. Hit the requirement for good sized individual ensuite rooms and plenty of living space. The jacuzzi was a bonus. Some small niggles which we have discussed with the owner and hopefully will be put right, but this didnt detract from our stay. Parkinh available within the grounds for at least 4 cars. Would stop again if we comeback to revisiting the area

A much needed girly weekend away. Property was lovely, in a nice setting, not too far to the station to hop on the train to either Settle or Skipton. Cheryle the owner was really lovely and extremely helpful with any questions we had about the property. We will definitely be back again.

Eldon Country was recommended highly by a friend who has previously stayed there with her family. The house was spacious, comfortable and an enjoyable place to stay in. Booking was easy & the bond was returned quickly. Host was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay again!

A very attractive property, well suited to our party, no significant issues. Perhaps some elements would benefit from a minor refurbishment . Thanks for a most enjoyable stay

Amazing house, we had the best stay. Well stocked and equipped, comfy and homely and in beautiful surroundings. I can't rate this place enough. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend.

Lovely property, well appointed and lots of space. Best ever view from the hot tub. Friendly and helpful owners.

We really enjoyed our visit to Long Preston and our stay at the Eldon Country cottage. The cottage was clean, warm, comfortable and fully equipped. The hot tub was great. Long Preston is a nice little village with two good pubs and in a great location for exploring the Dales and walking options. All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay!

Just returned from a lovely long weekend at Eldon Country and would highly recommend to anyone looking for picturesque and spacious base to explore the beautiful location that surrounds! We stayed three nights as a party of 10 for a friends big birthday. The property itself is very spacious and perfectly laid out to accommodate such a size group without it ever feeling over crowded. The bedrooms are beautifully presented and generously sized, each with good sized bathroom either en suite or next to the room. We did have some issues with low water pressure during our stay meaning a cold wash for those showers running off the mains however the two showers on the top floor were electric and worked a treat! There are also several rooms with baths as an alternative. Its a big house in the country and Im aware pressure can fluctuate so certainly not a huge issue for me but something to be aware of. The hot tub was bubbling away at a toasty 40c on our arrival and it was the perfect way to wind down after a busy day exploring! Booking was easy and no issues with bond return once the property was checked. The host was very responsive right from early booking enquiries through to us arriving back home. We definitely got the wow factor on arrival to Eldon Country, and whilst there are a few areas with signs of general wear and use, there was nothing significant enough to detract from the absolute beauty of the place! One of our guests is already planning her next stay and I genuinely hope to get an invite!!

This is an amazing property. We stayed as a family of 10 6 adults and 4 children from Friday to Monday this week and had a brilliant time. The house ticks lots of boxes. To begin with there is a large drive with plenty of parking and a big garden, complete with hot tub. Inside the house is spacious, with 5 large bedrooms and plenty of hanging and storage space for clothes. Three of the rooms have ensuites and there are nicely decorated and roomy bathrooms, with a large bath on both floors, which is great when you have young children with you. The hallway, staircases and landings are wide and sweeping with quirky design features and wall decorations, which add an element of fun. The living roomdining room and kitchen are well appointed with plenty of space to all eat, cook and relax together without being so huge that they dont feel homely. The kitchen is well equipped with a big modern range cooker, large fridge, microwave and slow cooker. The owner was in contact with me throughout and my housekeeping bond was returned promptly. Would highly recommend.

Spent the New year in this beautiful house. Really enjoyed every minute.

I have an ongoing complaint but yet I keep getting asked to give feedback. Sadly our trip was not as expected. When we first arrived it looks beautiful and it is, mainly. However several of the radiators were broken and unsafe for children I took photographic evidence and the owner recons I pulled the radiators apart for the photo!!. There was also broken window openers. We are taking this further as these are real health and safety issues. We were upset that on the photos it shows a log burner but yet you're unable to use it. They recon that because they don't mention it in the description that's ok but to me, that's clear false advertising and we are taking that further. The main issue however was the cleaner ... so you are asked to have all beds stripped and all towels downstairs by 9.45 firstly this is wrong as check out is 10 so you shouldn't be asked to do anything before 10. However on day of departure cleaners arrived at 9.23 and forced their way in. Said they always arrive this time and will stand by the washing machine. We had to then stop them from going upstairs at 9.30 as we still had children getting changed. The owner messaged to say oops sorry they got a train if that's the case they should still be instructed to wait outside the property till 10 if it is still occupied. We had to chase for the bond returning she said she had been busy out shopping and not had chance which we felt was very unprofessional. We complained to Sykes and they are investigating. We did not report the issues during the stay as we read several reviews on trip advisor saying she does anything to not return bond. And her response to the radiators confirmed my reservations I believe that if we had reported it she would have said we had done it and therefore not return bond! Such a shame as it has sooo much potential and is in a beautiful location.

We had a fantastic break at the Eldon Country. We were a party of 10 having an early Christmas break. The accommodation was superb all the bedrooms were a good size, the lounge dining room was large enough to accommodate us all without feeling cramped. The hot tub was used each day by a few of the group and they found it excellent. Unfortunately during our stay we had a few issues with the water supplies however, I must add that this was not the fault of the property it was down to the Water authority carrying out work in the area. It in no way detracted from us having a good time. The owners had decorated the lounge with Christmas decorations which was nice and helped with the festive atmosphere this could have been enhanced with some lights on the Christmas tree which were sadly lacking. The kitchen was large enough to facilitate the preparation of food for 10 of us quite comfortably, the only criticism being the fridge freezer didnt quite hold enough food for us all maybe a little freezer somewhere might assist. Overall the communication with the owners was excellent, there were plenty of instructions and guidance to help people settle into the house, we would definitely use the Eldon again and can highly recommend it. We made trips to both Settle and Skipton which are both great places to visit.

This was a gem of a property. We were celebrating my birthday with 4 other couples and it was absolutely perfect. Warm, comfortable, spacious, well equipped and the hot tube was a wonderful bonus! We all felt as if we had truly relaxed and partied in style! Taking some precious time out together.

Lovely, spacious and comfortable house. Well equipped. Comfortable beds and loved the fact that bedrooms are ensuite. Countryside views and good pub with food a five minute walk away. We all enjoyed our stay. Our group was a mix of ages from 2 years to 88. Our only complaint would be a lack of toilet rolls!! We needed to provide a few of our own. It was our first holiday together and would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was great! We did get a little lost trying to find it only to realise that it was signposted as Eldon Country Hotel. The place was perfect for a large gathering of friends with toddlers from Scotland, London and Bristol. The surrounding area was a delight to explore, including the lovely cheese and wine shop just a few miles away! The host was very responsive and assisted us with anything we needed during our stay.

Beautiful holiday home in a stunning location! The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a huge bonus! Lots of lovely places nearby to explore, we just wished we had more time! Thank you for a lovely stay!
