This is a beautiful stone cottage set in AONB. Impeccably clean. Closest large supermarket is about 25 minutes away. Lots of activities about. Be mindful that the small double really is small for a streaky teenager!

Thanks so much for your review. We're delighted you found the cottage to be impeccably clean. The small double bed you mention is a standard width double but 180cm in length so 10cm shorter than usual. We highlight this in the property description on the website along with all our bed sizes. We hope you had a lovely stay in Devon and would love to welcome you back again in the future. Kelsey, Customer Support...

Our week at the Shippon was superb. The owner was very helpful and always on hand for advice, the barn was very sympathetically and beautifully restored, and the variety of walks from the door was perfect for us. We had a really lovely relaxing week enjoying the moor and the peace....

Such a homely cottage, in such an idyllic setting. The private garden, picturesque courtyard and amenities to suit any situation was perfect. Everything was thought of, from cooking utensils to games. The layout was ideal for our family, with reading spaces upstairs that each of our children dubbed as their lounge! And the private garden, to exercise both our dog and children was invaluable. Thank you....
