About The Shippon

Surrounded by scenic woodland areas and an abundance of activity, The Shippon is a delightful character-filled cottage, promising you and your family a wonderful stay near the coast of North Devon. With a cheery blue décor running throughout a variety of the rooms, this quaint cottage is sure to remind you why you picked this charming cottage near the sea.

Providing you with a spacious sitting room with ample seating for all the family to unwind, this room is the go-to after a day of exploring, with a woodburning stove to huddle around in the winter months and bright and airy windows to open up in the summer months, be sure to stop here with a glass of wine and good company to end your day in an unwinding environment surrounded by your loved ones. For a spot of home-cooking, the kitchen offers a wide array of amenities for any food you fancy, with an AGA cooker in the kitchen itself and an electric cooker in the utility, you’ll be able to whip up a feast in no time.

Enjoy your dinner at the table in the kitchen before playing board games for some competitive family-fun. Upstairs you can find the two bedrooms; a double and a twin room, providing you with the perfect layout for a small family to rest after a tiresome day.

The garden is the perfect opportunity for both the little ones and the dogs to enjoy an afternoon of activity, with a patio for you to relax on and a field just ahead with swings and a trampoline, the back garden is the ideal spot to spend a summer’s evening. Take a walk into the woodlands where you can find stunning scenery and may even be lucky enough to spot an abundance of nature.

The Shippon Reviews

Avoid!
I would give this a minus score if I could. The 'access lanes,' are so narrow you can guarantee your car will get scratched. Another way in/out has got occasional passing points but is still very narrow. Especially when you meet a tractor!! The trampoline is falling apart with rusty springs (some not even attached) with brambles all around dangerous for children. The AGA needed a thorough clean although we didn't use it but electric oven is in the utility room next to the kitchen where pots, plates etc are located. Definitely would not recommend !
