Shippen Cottage - Perfect for Couples or Families

The location and setting was exactly what were looking for

There was not complimentary anything. We paid to get away for a BREAK and a REST. I being disabled and my daughter pregnant We didn’t expect to have to carry out room service duties of stripping beds which included heavy covers and many pillow cases. Especially when it isn’t a budget holiday. It’s a farm so you expect to see spiders and bugs, but not dead flies on the beds, and dusty spider webs. My daughter carries a UV light which I advise anyone else to do when staying in accommodation, as it shows the lack of hygiene and cleanliness so you can clean or avoid. Thankfully we alway take cleaning products

Location was lovely and the area

I went with my kids,4 month baby the cleanliness wasn’t up to standards as it should be, I wiped the floors they were dirty it was very dusty and cobwebs, my sinus flares up an my 4 months baby got sick from it

Lovely cottage - clean, spacious, bright, warm. Loved the historic setting with old barns and courtyard. Good kitchen with everything we needed. Useful laundry room for washing and drying. Nice bedroom and bathroom, comfy bed and good shower. There is also a bath. Communications with host were automated and didn't see a person, but all instructions were clear and well explained. We were there in winter, but it would be wonderful in summer with plenty of space to sit out in the sun, play games on the field and great for kids to play.

Good location. Nice setting. Comfy beds.

Some areas need updating. Chairs in kitchen need replacing. Kitchen was freezing. A bit impersonal as didn’t meet the hosts and not even a tea bag to welcome us.

Location was lovely and peaceful, nice and warm, some things for the kids to play with in the barn, which was great.

Wasn't very clean, sofas were stained, dog poo left in the garden, blinds were broken so limited light in the bedroom. Upstairs and kitchen very dated.

We absolutely loved our stay – it was the perfect base for exploring the area. So peaceful and cosy, with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away.. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a quiet escape in a beautiful spot.

Lovely, dog-friendly, spacious cottage in a very peaceful area just outside of Sidmouth. Enclosed garden that had lovely views. Very comfortable place to say.

The beds were super comfy. Very quiet location

Garden very steep, garden furniture not very comfortable for sun bathing. No shelf in shower room for personal items. hanging space above dressing table in ground floor bedroom wasnt high enough for dresses etc No tea or coffee/milk/welcome pack! Entrance into carpark very narrow and tight to turn into especially in the dark. Plan given of location of cottage very misleading.

The location was great to visit Sidmouth and very quiet.

We were disappointed that no basic complimentary welcome pack of tea/coffee etc and the kitchen lacked any extras for a perfect stay at quite an expensive rate. Also disappointed the kids area was not cleaner. My small grandson just would not play in the playhouse as full of leaves and cobwebs. I understand it is a farm, but I live on one and it doesn't take long to smarten things up.
