We had a short stay of 5 nights essentially for the cricket @ Headingly. The location and the cottage were superb. Our South African friends said "it was the best they'd stayed in". We were able to go for walks and enjoy the views from the patio area. We were lucky with the weather. A very comfortable stay but beware if you're tall a few head bumps on sloping roofs upstairs. Thank you to Trevor and Emma, we have already recommended to other friends.

As stated the second bedroom is a little small with a low sloping ceiling. The living area is absolutely gorgeous with everything you need in the kitchen. The only thing that could have been better is the steps outside the doors by the parking spot could have been kept clear of algae. On a wet day it became very slippery causing a nasty muscle injury to my leg. The owners daughter assured me she would see it was cleaned but just be aware. The contact we had with the owners was friendly and they left a welcome of fizz and biscuits. We definitely recommend this property

The house is equipped with everything one could need for a lovely holiday. The huge kitchen living room is stunning. It looks out on to the garden, giving beautiful views of the surrounding fields and hills. We spent much time, happily looking out at the wildlife that visited the field: Hares, many birds including birds of prey, sheep, a pair of pheasants and a cuckoo who called all day ( and night) during our stay - magical. Being located tucked away on the edge of a village, there is no sound or light pollution and we all all slept so well. The extremely comfortable beds helped with this, of course. A highlight of the holiday was a visit to the Flying Scotsman at Keighley Railway, a birthday treat for my husband. I have nothing but superlatives to describe the Old Shippon, and would thoroughly recommend it.
