The Shippen - Open-plan barn conversion, high-spec, stunning views

The location is beautiful, with a lovely view across the valley and very well placed for walking, with the Shropshire Way path right on the doorstep. It was very quiet and peaceful. The Shippen definitely is a high spec barn conversion, with lovely oak beams, the massive windows giving a great view and a well thought out open plan design that makes the most of the space. The bed and sofas are very comfortable. Hosts were very friendly and approachable. Very well equipped with everything we needed for the stay.

The email received prior to my stay had references to directions links that did not work, so we used the What3Words reference to get there, which took us by a very narrow and twisty route (we found a much easier one once settled in). When we got to the Shippen, the code for the key lockbox given in the email did not work. I contacted Jeannie, who answered immediately and gave the correct code. The Booking.com email seems auto-generated and out of date, hopefully an easy fix. A minor maintenance issue – the blind in the bathroom is frayed and the pull chain on it doesn’t work.

The property was absolutely gorgeous! Just what I needed.

The views were outstanding and the property as a whole was very well equipped.

Nothing specific. If I was nitpicking the road to the property wasn’t fantastic but it wouldn’t put me off
