Street Head Farm in Keighley

"Booked this property for a family get-together. So glad we did. This place is fantastic. Lovely accommodation, full of character and charm. The location can not be beaten - not enough superlatives to describe the views that wrap around this cottage. Loved having the neighbouring cows and being able to just open the front door and let our two dogs run out, with brilliant walks on the doorstep. The owners are really lovely - supplying us with fresh cake and fresh milk along with logs and kindling for the powerful wood burner in the living room. We loved staying here - really comfortable accommodation and homely too. Will definitely be staying here again - and the sooner the better."

"This wasn't our first stay at Street Head Farm cottage and it hopefully won't be our last. The owners are friendly and welcoming and we were greeted with homemade fruit loaf and homemade marmalade both of which were superb as well as milk, teabags etc. The cottage is charming with wonderful views and everything you need is provided including a laundry room, a cosy lounge with a log burning stove and large family kitchen / dining room. There is also a further small lounge with its own tv. The cottage is tastefully decorated with a very comfortable, homely feel. It is ideal for dogs and there are many walks available from the doorstep. It really does offer a perfect "get away from it all" being quite isolated and quiet although the busy town of Skipton is only 10 minutes away by car, providing everything you could need. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to return!"

Only slight grumble was the lack of a "proper" garden for the kids to run riot in. Maybe a climbing frame or equivalent in one of the nearby spaces would work really well. Cottage is very well located for walks, towns for provisions, sightseeing etc. Almost too much to do in week - we'll have to go back again!"
