Settle, a picturesque market town in North Yorkshire, serves as the backdrop for two luxurious apartments, Hayloft 1 and Hayloft 2, which date back to 1780. These accommodations, inspected and selected by Alistair Sawday's Special Places, offer a blend of historical charm and modern comfort. Hayloft 1 features a separate en suite bedroom, while Hayloft 2 is designed as an open-style studio apartment. Both are situated on the first floor within a spacious gravelled courtyard, providing guests with a serene retreat that is conveniently close to local amenities such as restaurants, pubs, shops, and a market.
Each apartment is equipped with contemporary furnishings and amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay for couples or small groups. Guests can enjoy a well-appointed kitchen, a dining and sitting area with a cozy wood-burning stove, and essential appliances like a gas central heating system, electric oven, microwave, and fridge. To enhance the experience, a thoughtful "Welcome Pack" prepared by Samantha includes fresh flowers, charcoal grey towels, logs for the wood burner, and fluffy white robes, making it ideal for a romantic getaway or a gathering with friends.
Accessibility is a key feature of Linton Court Coach House, as both apartments have their own private entrances and are located just a short walk from the main square of Settle. Parking is available at the nearby main square or Ashfield Car Park, with the exception of Tuesday Market Day. The location is also advantageous for outdoor enthusiasts, being less than a five-minute walk from Settle Railway Station and the renowned Settle to Carlisle Railway, making it easily reachable from major cities like London and Manchester via direct trains from Leeds.
Settle is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, including the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Malham Tarn, offering numerous outdoor activities such as hiking, cave exploring, and mountain biking. Cultural attractions like Settle Victoria Hall and The Mart Theatre provide entertainment options for visitors. However, it is important to note that the apartments have a no pets and no smoking policy, ensuring a clean and welcoming environment for all guests.
