8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2021
Spacious property for 4 but maybe a bit tight for 6 adults. Everything that we needed we found. The walk to Trenchermans on a sunny day was breathtaking especially with the cyclamen round the church. Plenty to see without travelling too far.

We had a great week at The Shippens. The property is fantastic. Very well equipped. We loved the outdoor area and felt very relaxed throughout our time there. Ian and Alison were excellent hosts who were very helpful with any requests we had. We will definitely be visiting again
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2018
We are a family of six, ranging in age from 6 - 66 and all loved this barn.
We were impressed with how well equipped the accommodation was and couldn’t find anything lacking.
It was comfortable throughout but the two smaller bedrooms were very warm at night as we were lucky enough to be there during a very warm spell.
The owners responded swiftly to queries both before and during our stay.
We would not hesitate to recommend this property and would love to return ourselves one day.
