Enjoyed a lovely family holiday here over the Easter weekend. Sitting in the hot tub on Easter Sunday watching rabbits play in the daffodils at the bottom of the garden was simply magical. And it's wonderfully dog-friendly too - the dogs had a wonderful time running around the garden when the sun came out. The beds are super comfy and its amazing that they are all zip and link as it means everyone can enjoy a spacious super king. Cannot recommend more - location and setting is simply stunning and wonderfully easy to get to. Cannot wait to return!...

Great cottage and great location. Views from the garden are amazing. Local Take-Aways and Pub Food really good, plenty to choose from and lots of places to visit nearby. You'll have the best night's sleep due to the lovely beds.

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. ...
