On arrival, we were welcomed by the owners, Vicky and Pete. There were fresh garden flowers and two slices of homemade cake for us which was a lovely touch. The cottage is so well equipped, everything you could wish for. The information folder was extremely helpful, everything from beaches, restaurants to Veterinary Services. The grounds are beautiRead moreful. Theres also another small cottage thats also rented out. We meet a lovely couple who were staying from London. Would highly recommend. Hide

We have stayed in many cottages over the years and The Shippen is right up there with the best of them. It is a very well realised conversion which provides a most comfortable holiday home; we would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. As a bonus, Pete and Vicki were very welcoming and helpful hosts.

What a find. We will definitely return for a longer stay. Its not often you feel so comfortable and at home so quickly. Sadly we only had time for a quick 2 night break, but settling down on a comfortable sofa, in front of the roaring woodburner was absolutely perfect. A very peaceful setting, and hearing the owls calling at night was an added bonuRead mores. We wanted to relax and unwind and the Shippen provided the perfect setting. Mark & Helen Hide
