About this property

A beautiful Victorian house tucked away into the village of Long Preston, a picturesque location with countryside and rolling hills. Tastefully designed for families or a group of friends, this spacious retreat is an exquisite choice for a memorable holiday experience, even featuring its very own hot tub. A vestibule leads you inside, where you will be welcomed by a wonderful hallway, dividing off to a series of rooms. The kitchen is a comfortable place to unwind, housing a wall-mounted TV, and a cosy window seat where you can rest whilst waiting for those home-cooked meals to heat up. You will look forward to settling down in the lounge afterwards, perfect for dining with the whole family, and snuggling up on the sumptuous sofas with the French doors open. The first set of stairs sweeps up to a family shower room, with three bedrooms situated on the second floor, two with en-suite and another with a dedicated bathroom on the landing. As well as a lovely view over the garden towards the Dales, all rooms are glamorously presented, with a true feeling of luxury and ample storage space. Leaving you spoilt for choice once more, the third floor is equally as elegant, with two further bedrooms; the first is elevated by open eaves, velux windows, and a chandelier, whilst the second comes as a twin formation with a zip/link option. The exterior represents the cottages charm wholeheartedly; home to a large patio area with furniture and a lawned garden for an idyllic finish. To the North, the landscape rises to the fells, moors and valleys of the Dales and to the South are the wetlands of the Ribble Valley which, in turn, sweep upward to the wilderness of Bowland. The village benefits from several large, tree lined, village greens, with footpaths leading direct to the surrounding hills, and two excellent pubs with first class cuisine. An impressive cottage in a fabulous location.

    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 en-suites. 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 5/6 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.

    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.

    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 didn’t impact on our stay. Would benefit from updating the information book. Thank you to Cheryl for a great stay.
