The Shippen was perfect for our reunion week with good friends. It was well equipped, comfortable and well situated for our walking adventures. Thank you Joanna for the welcome and the tasty gifts.

We had a fantastic stay at The Shippen. The accommodation was lovely and spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped and the refreshments provided on our arrival were a lovely surprise and very much enjoyed. Beds were incredibly comfy. The hot tub was amazing and we were lucky enough to have some clear nights star gazing whilst relaxing in it. Our dogs loved the garden and sleeping in front of the open fire. The hosts were lovely and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back. A great location to explore Dartmoor and the coast in a peaceful location....

Very well equipped property in a fantastic location. Possibly one of the best places we've stayed in the 25+ years of booking with Classic Cottages.

We had lovely week staying at The Shippen, if you prefer to be slightly off the beaten track this property is perfect, still within easy reach of the coast and Dartmoor. It has a lovely cottage feel, Log Fire etc and well kitted out.
