Lovely cosy farmhouse, well set up for dogs - we used the back entrance which made it perfect for wet dogs. Great back garden. Lovely cosy and comfortable homely feel.

Very good size cottage and lovely and clean. Huge garden, shame we didn't have the weather to enjoy it. Would 110% stay here again. The owners were very responsive to messages and phone calls when we could not find the property, lovely couple....

My needs were functional - I had a close relative in Barnstaple hospital, but I also needed to work online during the day. The Shippon has turned out to be my perfect home from home - so much so that I extended my original 5 nights to be 2 weeks....
