About this cottage rental
Taking it's name from Sir Edward Elgar who stayed as a guest of the family, often playing the piano in the front room, this magnificent house dates back to the 19th century and was built for a local mill owner. Arriving at this magnificent holiday home is a grand experience, with ample off-road parking for up to 12 cars setting the stage for a luxurious stay. Ascend the steps to the impressive front door and step inside through the original wooden entrance doors. The open-plan reception room immediately captivates with its feature brass and tiled fireplace, adorned with plush velvet sofas and a Smart TV. For younger guests, "the Naughty Corner" beckons with a delightful array of books, games, and dress-up items. The spacious kitchen/diner, a sociable hub for home-cooking and gathering, is equipped with state of the art appliances and an extendable dining table for memorable mealtimes. On the ground floor, three spacious en-suite bedrooms await, each boasting en-suite rainfall showers and WC's, crisp white linen and a blend of contemporary interiors and period features, including original fireplaces. Two of these bedrooms feature large bay windows with views across Settle, providing an ideal retreat to relax and recharge, and the third boasts a stunning four-poster bed and access out to the garden. Ascend the sweeping staircase to the first floor where a second spacious living area with a kitchen and bar area invites relaxation. Enjoy group activities, read a book or savour drinks on one of the three velvet sofas while soaking in breathtaking views across Pen-y-ghent and Settle. The first floor also hosts two further bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room with WC and an original fireplace, and the other features a four-poster bed. Completing this floor is a sumptuous family bathroom and a separate WC. Venture up another flight of stairs to discover three more luxury super-king-size bedrooms, one of which boasts an en-suite shower room with WC. Indulge in a soak in the freestanding roll-top bath in "The Lynx Bedroom", boasting panoramic views across Settle, and gaze at the stars as the night unfolds. There is also another family shower room and WC here.
The excellence of this property extends outdoors with a vast garden and multiple seating areas. The rear area features a patio with a hot tub and a raised lawn, inviting guests to enjoy bubbly soaks and enjoy al-fresco dining. A swing and a wildflower garden provide additional outdoor delights, whilst "The Old Barn Games Room" beckons with pool, darts, and table football for friendly competition(please note this is in an external unheated building). Although the garden is private it is not secure for dogs.
