No smoking.. The Shippen provides comfortable accommodation for up to six guests in three cosy bedrooms. This countryside getaway is located on a working farm, where you can enjoy the tranquil sound of the river and the different farm animals in the surrounding area. Ideally situated in the quiet yet historic village of Barden, a stone’s throw away from the famous Bolton Abbey, The Shippen provides everything you need to enjoy your time away. Upon arrival you are greeted by an allocated parking area for up to three cars and then head to the rear garden where you can soak up the view from the bubbling hot tub. An allocated enclosed field has kindly been prepared for your furry friends to keep them away from livestock on the farm.
On entering the property, you are greeted by a fully fitted kitchen offering everything you need to rustle up those home cooked meals. Not fancy cooking? Why not treat yourself at a local restaurant or café a short drive away. Wander up the small step to find a cosy living room featuring a wood burner and comfy sofas. Relax and enjoy the warmth of the fire as you watch your favourite show or movie on the TV after a long day exploring the area. When sleep calls, you have three bedrooms to choose from, all situated on the first floor. One of the two bathrooms can also be found on this floor the other is on the ground floor.
Bolton Abbey is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire. Situated in the stunning location of Bolton-by-Bowland. Whether you wander beside the river, cross the exposed purple heights of the heather moorland or explore the woodland nature trails, there is something for everyone. Explore Bolton Abbey and the infamous Strid - a notorious stretch of deep water where the River Wharfe is forced into a hidden, thundering channel; or enjoy the unique botanical gardens at nearby Parceval Hall and explore the mysterious Troller’s Gill. Whatever you do during the day, you will have comfort in the knowledge that you will have great accommodation to return to.
