The Shippon is a perfect house for 8 friends to relax and enjoy the wonderful views. The house is well appointed and immaculately clean. This was our second time staying at the Shippon.

Just spend (another) wonderful week at The Shippon. It is such a lovely place to stay, comfortable, spacious for a family and in a beautiful position. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need if you are cooking at home.

The Shippon had everything our 3 generational family needed for a fabulous stay. En suite bedrooms were of a good standard, the accommodation although open plan was warm and welcoming. There were plenty of glasses, cutlery and crockery and the welcome pack was a nice touch too.

Even though I had seen photos beforehand, the first thing I said upon entering the property was “Wow”. The sense of space is just amazing. All the rooms were great, but avoid the top floor bedroom if you’re tall (angled beams). Small points - the 4 slot toaster appeared to be down to 2 slots working for at least the previous 3 guests and was still not working for us. There are no large or full length mirror’s anywhere in the property - would be a nice addition. The very fancy oven doubles as a microwave! But this means you have to wait for it to cool down before popping in a bag of spinach etc. There is so much space, a separate microwave would be handy. The hob ONLY comes on if there’s a pan on the ring - very clever and safe, but it confused the heck out of us for a few minutes. (Probably mentions it in the handbook, but we though “ it’s a hob, how tricky can it be - lol) Location-wise, it’s lovely (say hello to the squawking goose on the farm opposite - still miss him/her). Do be aware that the approach roads are all single lane ‘tracks’ - you will come face to face with other vehicles occasionally and me need to reverse back to a passing point. Only ever met one big tractor though. There are also some very steep hills on the outlying roads, tricky if you have an overburdened older vehicle like we had. Overall, wonderful place - just be prepared to feel cramped once you get back to your own house.
