Stunning Cottage

We spent 4 wonderful days here at Shippon cottage which has been sympathetically renovated to a very high standard. If you love period features without compromising on luxury this is the perfect place. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay really comfortable and we loved the modern kitchen which was perfectly equipped to allow easy cooking and dining. Its a great location and only a short drive to many places of interest and the coast. We could not recommend more highly and would not consider staying anywhere else when we return to this beautiful part of the world. Thanks to Helen and Mark for doing such a wonderful job and creating such a special place to stay.

Country retreat

We had a great stay in the cottage which has been recently refurbished, it had everything we needed for our stay and all the rooms were very clean and well presented. The open plan living room and kitchen were upstairs with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs. A great courtyard to relax or dine out , weather permitting. The location is very rural with 2 small towns nearby. A car is much recommended as the cottage is some way from everything and I am not sure about public transport. The location is very good as a base to see the sights of Devon but remember a lot of the roads are rural and be prepared to pull over for oncoming cars. I would definitely recommend staying at one of the cottages here and you will have a great stay.

Entdecken, Erleben und Entspannung

Wir wurden freundlich und herzlich empfangen von unseren Vermietern. Das Anwesen (älter als 500Jahre) liegt idyllisch und erfüllt alle Bedürfnisse zum entspannen. Die Ferienwohnung ist modern und mehr als geräumig und ideal für den ruhigen Familienurlaub. Die Lage ist perfekt für Wanderungen oder zum Erdkunden der gesamten Region mit den lokalen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Zusätzlich ist das Objekt perfekt gelegen für Tagesausflüge (Bsp. Plymouth, Exeter, Tintagel, Burgh Island etc.). Der Innenhof lädt ein, einen gelungen Sommertag ausklingen zulassen. Fazit: Alles da was man braucht und man ist gleich im Urlaub angekommen. Wir waren durchgehend begeistert. 🤗

Excellent cottage in a nice location

It was really nice holiday at Shippon Cottage. Very cosy cottage with fully equipped kitchen. We explored most of the south Devon and it was quite easy to do so because of the great location of the cottage. Thanks to Helen and Mark for making it very easy to check in and check out!

Perfect Pridhamsleigh Property!

We have just returned from a week's holiday which was perfect in every way! From the outset, everything went smoothly: booking was easy and Mark was always extremely quick to reply to our queries. Helen's warm smile and friendly greeting at check-in set a lovely tone; we knew we had made a great choice. Shippon Cottage exceeded our expectations: it's a spacious, sympathetically, beautifully restored animal barn with many quirky features retained. Our four year old granddaughter adored it and very quickly made herself at home in the large twin-bedded room, although her favourite feature was the arrow-slit-like windows. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well-equipped - even down to things like dishwasher tablets, washing pods, liquid soap, cling film and foil - and had a lovely little welcome pack, luxurious towels and quality bedding The setting was tranquil and the location perfect for visiting so many of the great attractions and beautiful countryside that South Devon has to offer. We had such a brilliant time that we are trying to work out how we can wangle another visit; in the meantime, we will be recommending it to our family and friends. Thank you, Helen and Mark, for letting us stay in your perfect Pridhamsleigh property!

July stay in Devon

We cannot recommend a stay at the Shippon Cottage enough. The property is beautifully furnished and the owners very friendly. The location was ideal for visits to the coast as well as Totnes & Plymouth. The local area is beautiful and with ample parking and every home comfort you would need in the property, it has made for an amazing stay. Thank you

Plenty of space for four for a week’s getaway.

The property is well equipped for 4. It is nicely furnished, well equipped and spacious. Everywhere is very comfortable and the heating works well. Plenty of opportunities to have a local walk, visit two local centres, access the moor within a few minutes and only about half an hour from the sea.
