I'm taking a friend to collect a bike from Shipley, Yorks. next weekend.
Any recommendations for a decent B & B pub in/near shipley, please?
PS The bike's a Guzzi VII Le Mans, like this

It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line

cool :)
this is where I'm from..
Shipley is a bit of a dump though in all honesty - might be better off looking a little further out of town for a nice place to stay
the yorkshire dales aren't too far away and its beautiful there

Grew up in Dewsbury, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with the area - tho' I've not been round Shipley for over 20 years. Are Bingley/Baildon any better?

Theres a reasonably priced Premier Inn on the new Bingley by-pass (5 mins from Shipley) or another near Leeds Bradford Airport (again close to Shipley)
Is he collecting from Moto Strada?
