The place was spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, very good showers with lots of hot water and very well equipped. The place stayed lovely and cool during the heat wave so no problems sleeping at night. Bliss. Steve the owner was such a good host, on hand but never intrusive. The picnic table complete with gazebo was wonderfully private and placed to take in the glorious views. We spent lots of time eating and drinking here in the hot weather as it caught the very welcome breeze. The wild flower area here must be stunning when in bloom. Fully intend to return either in the Spring or Autumn to explore the area a little more and sample the delights of the Aga and wood burner. ...

Beautiful holiday home in a stunning location. Friendly and helpful owners. Loads to do in the area and wonderful pubs/eateries nearby. All in all a lovely holiday.

This is a beautiful stone cottage set in AONB. Impeccably clean. Closest large supermarket is about 25 minutes away. Lots of activities about. Be mindful that the small double really is small for a streaky teenager!

Thanks so much for your review. We're delighted you found the cottage to be impeccably clean. The small double bed you mention is a standard width double but 180cm in length so 10cm shorter than usual. We highlight this in the property description on the website along with all our bed sizes. We hope you had a lovely stay in Devon and would love to welcome you back again in the future. Kelsey, Customer Support...

Our week at the Shippon was superb. The owner was very helpful and always on hand for advice, the barn was very sympathetically and beautifully restored, and the variety of walks from the door was perfect for us. We had a really lovely relaxing week enjoying the moor and the peace....
