The Shippon at Oldsbrim has the most magnificent views out over Dartmoor.
The fabulous sitting-room.
The spacious and well-equipped kitchen. The Aga is ornamental but you do have an induction hob and electric oven for cooking up your holiday meals.
The gardens have magnificent views of Sharp Tor.
Bedroom 1 has a gorgeous view.
The kitchen and dining space.

Bedroom 1 is one of three exceptionally inviting and comfy bedrooms.
Bedroom 1 is home to this beautiful king-size bed.
Bedroom 2 is super comfy and cosy.

Bedroom 3 is perfect just for one. The slightly smaller double bed has standard width, just the length is slightly shorter to fit into this charming space.
One of the lovely reading spots on the landing.
Another place to chill and get lost in a good book.
The entrance hall links the ground floor utility-room and shower-room and leads into the kitchen. It also provides a great spot for kicking off your boots in preparation to enjoy the main house.
A great spot to enjoy a touch of al fresco dining whilst enjoying the most magical views.
Spend blissful evenings here.
The view from the top of your garden, looking back over the cottage and out over Dartmoor.
Time for tea and cake in the garden.
Peace and tranquility all around.
Wander up the path which leads to your own private access to the moors.

The surrounding moorland is just breath-taking.
Wow.

We had a fantastic stay, the house was so comfortable, clean and well equipped. The location couldn’t have been better. Stunning landscape, many walks from the doorstep. Very kind and helpful hosts next door. The whole family had a super holiday. We would definitely come back again in a heartbeat. ...

This is by far the nicest holiday cottage I’ve ever stayed in on Dartmoor and I’ve stayed in a lot ??. The owners are lovely, friendly and understanding. It was amazingly well equipped and spotlessly clean, bedding high quality and so so comfortable. Location is amazing, easy to get to and direct access to the moors. Can’t wait to return later this year....

The owners are very approachable and friendly (as are their dogs). The setting is quiet, remote, ideal for access to the whole of Dartmoor and towns at the edge of the moors. The woodburner is ideal for those grimey days when you really want to stay tucked-up. Although the owners home is nearby, you really wouldn't know - unless you have a problem or want the latest advice on places/pubs to visit! (they are really positive and approachable). Even though we have been holidaying on Dartmoor for many years, we found some new (to us) pubs and places to explore....

Beautiful, well equipped cottage in a great location with friendly helpful hosts. With two boys and a dog we all enjoyed great walks up the Tors or along the river Dart. There are lovely pubs and cafes a short drive away too. First visit to Dartmoor and we're missing it already!...

Shippon is located in one of the most lovely parts of Dartmoor. Away from it all but not far to local villages . Ponies, deer and highland cattle wandering around . Walks from the doorstep and the most lovely garden to sit and ponder in. The garden is also very secure so your dog can enjoy the freedom. The cottage itself is spacious and clean and has everything you will need. Very comfy beds ! The owners go above and beyond to make sure you have everything and are comfortable but without being intrusive . Beautiful cottage we absolutely loved it . ...
