About this house rental
With four bedrooms, four bathrooms, glorious open plan living and tons of outside space, The Shippon is luxury coastal living at its best. Vaulted ceilings, exposed trusses and beautifully styled spaces create a home that beckons you to swap the bustle of a busy routine with pure relaxation, all while taking in the sweeping views of Devon's picturesque countryside which lies right on the doorstep.
Designed to offer complete comfort during your stay, every room in this home has been thoroughly and thoughtfully kitted out. Large bi-fold doors in the living area open the space to the outside so on warm, sunny days you can soak up the scenery without having to move off the sofa (other than to charge your glass of course!). Expect superior mattresses and tasteful soft furnishings in the bedrooms, high-quality features and fittings in the bathrooms, and a superbly equipped kitchen so you can rustle up family feasts or even bake your very own batch of Devonshire scones. The setting is rather special too, and with the home's layout maximising the views, you'll have the beauty of the surrounding landscape on constant display from nearly every angle.
Perfectly located to offer guests both rural tranquillity and beach holiday bliss, this is a place where you can truly get away from it all. Your holiday home has a large, sheltered garden for fresh air dining, as well as a sprawling front terrace where you can unwind whilst taking in the views. The lovely seaside town of Dawlish lies just 3 minutes' drive away where you'll find sandy beaches for lazing on and clear water for swimming and water sports. The town offers a host of shops, restaurants and café's too, along with all the amusements of a traditional seaside resort, so there's plenty to keep guests of all ages entertained.
Teignmouth and Shaldon are within a short drive and here you'll discover bustling promenades, a lido and more sandy stretches, while the Exeplorer Water Taxi service which operates from Dawlish Warren, can ferry you across to Exmouth which is the perfect place for sailing, windsurfing and paddle boarding.
With its unspoilt and rugged landscape, tors, forest and reservoirs to explore, Dartmoor which is a 20-minute drive from The Shippon, offers lovers of the outdoors a wonderful day out. Naturally, a trip to this special place wouldn't be complete without a country pub pit-stop and there are plenty to choose from, whether for a quick refreshment or a hearty Sunday lunch! Closer to home at only 10 minutes' drive away, Haldon Forest offers visitors of all ages the chance for adventure with its 12km of wooded cycle paths which are ideal for mountain biking or walks. There are bikes for hire here too, as well as a café and play area.
*Please note that access to this countryside home is via roads which are narrow and single track in places
For guest’s safety, The Shippon has a motion sensor doorbell, which records guests and visitors when approaching the front door.

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.

The Shippon is set in a very rural Devon location. It was an ideal house for 8 old friends to catch up and relax.
The house was spotless and has all the amenities required for a weeks stay. Online groceries assisted with the relaxation!
I would definitely recommend and we will be booking again!

This was our second stay at the Shippon. Absolutely gorgeous house, lovely decor and great layout for our family. We can’t fault it and Im sure we will return.
We love the location which is very quiet but also near to Dawlish, Exeter and supermarkets.
