The Shippon is just as pictures show, we had a very relaxing break, so comfortable it is like a big hug, especially the bed. The view, the peace, log burner and of course the hot tub were all wonderful and all because of the care and attention to details by Sara and Ozgur. The welcome gift of milk, cake and eggs were much appreciated. We had great walks near by, and close was the local pub with good food and also plenty of places of interest not far in the car. Over all perfect! Many thanks Heather and Dave.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome from the lovely owners, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. After a long drive, we appreciated a nice cuppa with the gifts of fresh milk and delicious homemade cakes, such a thoughtful touch! As were the eggs from the resident chickens, which we enjoyed for breakfast. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, with everything you could possibly need provided. The kitchen was superbly well-equipped with modern appliances, including a coffee machine, dishwasher, and even a washer-dryer. They even thought of little details like plastic glasses and fizz flutes for enjoying drinks in the hot tub! Speaking of the hot tub, the views from there were breathtaking, and stargazing each evening was magical. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we had some of the best nights' sleep during our stay. While we didnât use the log burner, all the supplies were there, ready to go if we had wanted a cozy fire. All in all, The Shippon was the perfect getaway. Its an ideal base for explring Devon. We honestly didnât want to leave! We canât recommend it enough. Thank you to the wonderful owners for creating such a special place!
