The Shippon is a welcoming character cottage in the heart of the popular Dales village of Grassington. The cottage has a super king-size double room, a double and single bedroom, a bathroom, ground floor cloakroom, kitchen with dining area, and a sitting room with woodburning stove. Outside is off road parking for two cars, and a side patio garden with furniture. The Shippon makes an ideal property for exploring both the village, with its annual festival and pretty village trails, and the hills and dales surrounding this popular tourist spot.

Grassington is a lovely village in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, on the River Wharfe, home to traditional stone cottages and a cobbled market place. Down dale is Bolton Abbey and up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden with wonderful limestone scenery. Enjoy great walking and explore Bronte Country and York, within easy driving distance.

From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?

Reviews of The Shippon

"A gem of a cottage,sitting at the top of Grassington village,just a five minute walk from all the village amenities but tucked away from the bustle of the village square. Inside,the cottage is warm,welcoming and immaculately clean. It definitely feels more like a home than a holiday let,with lots of attention to detail- soft throws on the sofas,rocking chair by the radiator in the kitchen ( we loved the quirky wine rack!) and a spice rack full of spices. The beds were comfortable,with crisp clean sheets ant the tiled entrance lobby- with extra toilet- was perfect for snowy boots and waterproofs. We were a party of 5 and although the cottage isn't huge it has been so well thought out that it seems more spacious than it actually is. Of all the holiday properties we've stayed in,this is one of the few I could move into without changing anything. Can't wait to return !"

"This cottage is top rate, well appointed and immaculate. Two double bedrooms and a single (my bed the single was very comfortable) A large well equipped Kitchen/Dining area and a comfortable sitting room well stocked with books, DVDs and games. A modern bathroom with bath and shower over and an additional WC downstairs. Wi Fi connection good and a telephone to receive calls. Nicely situated just out of the village centre which is a few minutes walk away. Beautiful views from upstairs and a patio leading from the kitchen which would be useful if the weather is good. Parking for two small cars is a bonus in a village where car parking space is hard to come by."

"A nice quiet cottage just a couple of minutes from the village. It was a good idea to have WiFi, this came in very handy as mobile reception was poor. The views from the cottage were fantastic, and there was a good bus service if you wanted to see around the area without driving."
