About this cottage rental

The Shippen is a cosy but very spacious detached barn conversion in a peaceful rural location near the pretty village of Hartland, and within easy reach of the sea. The coastal scenery is stunning at nearby Hartland Quay, and the South West Coast Path is easily accessible. The cottage is down a private lane away from the main road, within the grounds of a smallholding. This is an ideal area for sea swimmers, surfers, walkers, nature lovers or anyone who just wants have a relaxing break. There are 2 spacious bedrooms, one on the ground floor and one upstairs each with their own bathroom. There is a fifth bed suitable for a child or teenager in the upstairs lobby. There is a large open plan living/dining room with a wood burner, and a conservatory which leads out on to the lawn and patio and has views over fields and through woodland. The wood burner and underfloor heating mean the accommodation is ideal for any time of year. Well behaved dogs are welcome but the garden is not enclosed so may not suit all dogs.

Lovely peacful stay, Penny very welcoming, all the facilities you need and more for a self catering break away, cottage lovely, cosy and warm. Very rural so car needed if you want to explore. Comfy beds and bedding. Only problem we had was lots of bluebottles in upstairs bedroom and didnt like stain around downstairs toilet on tiles, doesnt look nice.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at The Shippen. Very private and quiet. Would be perfect for people with dogs. Penny was very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the lovely cake and the eggs on arrival. Close to fabulous coastal walks and good golf courses. Also close enough to Dartmoor to enjoy a walk there and a game of golf. Thanks Penny for a lovely stay.
