Lovely property and excellent facilities.

We all throughly enjoyed our short stay at The Shippen. I would describe our arrival as having the WOW factor!! It is beautifully situated down a quiet lane and on opening the front door, WOW!! Such beautiful furnishings , extremely stylish, immaculately clean. Compliments to the housekeeper, you deserve a medal!! The beds are the most comfortable we have ever experienced in a Classic Cottage, superb. We had them all as singles but they would make up as lovely superking size doubles. The owners live in the other house and were very friendly and helpful when we saw them. Extremely kind of them to leave us some fizz in the fridge and bread butter etc. We really appreciated their kindness, especially the focaccia bread which went down a treat with our lunch!! We were delighted that we could walk right from the door up-to Buckland Beacon , a circular walk of about 9 miles, stunning views in the autumn sunshine, we were very fortunate to have good weather. My star gazing friend was delighted with the clear skies and the stars we experienced from the hot tub! We all learnt a lot!!! Thank you to the owners for providing us with the most delightful experience in a stunning property. We loved it and didn’t want to leave. ...

The cottage itself is beautifully done, clean and in a good location. However, unfortunately we did not feel very comfortable or welcome by our host during our stay. There were lots of house rules that we were met with as soon as we arrived, without the chance to settle in. We didn’t always feel like we had the freedom to use the facilities, and most of our interactions with the host weren’t as positive as we would’ve hoped. ...

excellent location, quiet and welcoming. Lovely comfy beds. Hot tub was very welcome and a lovely place to take a family. The owners were friendly and available if required and we loved our stay.

Jo and John were kind and friendly hosts, and we enjoyed being visited by Wizard the cat. The house was the perfect base for the week - easy parking, large gardens with hottub, and everything needed inside to make it feel like home ... comfy living room with fireplace, large dining area, fully fitted kitchen, 3 bedrooms with the option to use as twin or superking (ideal for our tall family!) and 3 bathrooms. The area is stunning and there is plenty to see and do, in and around Ashburton and Dartmoor. We would love to return!...
