DoubleThis charming converted Shippon is situated in the heart of Dartmoor. With stunning views over to Sharp Tor and surrounded by wild ponies, it's an ideal location for exploring the delights of this magnificent National Park.
The Shippon has direct access to the moor, so you can leave your car behind and step out in to some of the most spectacular scenery that Dartmoor has to offer. Breakfast on the rocks above you, picnic by the River Dart below, watch the sun set across a vast horizon, before returning home and snuggling up in front of the wood-burner and watching a movie on Netflix, or enjoying the wonderful evening views from the comfort of your own private garden.
Everything about your stay at The Shippon at Oldsbrim is hassle-free and whilst you're secluded, you're not completely isolated. Located next to one of the main routes through Dartmoor, you'll be able to conveniently access all that Dartmoor has to offer. Ashburton, Widecombe in the Moor and Princetown are just 15 minutes away. For those looking to explore more of Devon, you'll be able to quickly escape to places like Tavistock, Dartmouth and Totnes before returning home to enjoy a drink and a touch of al fresco dining.
In keeping with the peaceful tone of this property, The Shippon at Oldsbrim is laid out in such a way that it protects both the owners' and guests' privacy as much as possible. You'll have your own large private garden that's fully enclosed for both dogs and younger members of the group to let off steam. You'll also have designated parking, as well as access to The Shippon via your lawned area.
Whatever the occasion or celebration, The Shippon at Oldsbrim is the perfect get away, set in the most breathtaking location. Go on, treat yourself to a wonderfully relaxing break at this beautiful venue, you will not be disappointed.
This is an ideal spot to unwind, whether you're looking to explore Dartmoor National Park, either by foot or by car, or discover more of what Devon has to offer.
Ashburton is one of the many beautiful towns and villages nearby and easily accessible. Famous for its antiques shops and good food, it boasts a lovely tea-room, delicatessen, butcher and fishmonger. Alternatively, if you would like a drive across the top of the moor, Tavistock is a wonderful place to explore with its own Pannier Market.
With uninterrupted views and incredible scenery of the surrounding tors, you will feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, should it be activity that you're seeking, The Shippon can also provide secure and dry storage for keen canoeists and mountain bikers.
The River Dart Country Park is only a short car journey away, as is Two Bridges, Postbridge and historic Widecombe in the Moor. But if you're feeling energetic and want to stay local, you can walk down to the popular beauty spot of Dartmeet and hike up Yar Tor, taking in the wildlife during your journey back.
Should you fancy a day at the beach, some of Devon's most popular sandy beaches are within easy reach. Or if you're looking for an evening out in Totnes or at the water's edge at Dartmouth, you're only a short car journey away.
There are so many ways to spend your days in and around this Shippon, you really are spoilt for choice.
