About this cottage rental
The Shippen at Coombe Mill is a one-bedroom detached property for two people that is close to the River Carey and surrounded by a private nature reserve of 34 acres. It is the perfect retreat for those who enjoy wildlife and peace and quiet. There are kingfishers, dippers, owls, deer, foxes, badgers, otters and bats as well as butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies. Now we're getting regular visits from beavers although they tend to be nocturnal. The Shippen is situated some distance from the main house and has its own parking and entrance. FOR BEST PRICES PLEASE CONTACT THE OWNER.

Overall a very good holiday. Jon and Janice were excellent hosts with a cream tea to welcome us.
Jon gave us an excellent tour of the reserve and seeing the badgers and fox with him in the evening was very special. We had a peaceful and relaxing time and going again next year.
Would highly recommend.
