The Shippen is a cosy but very spacious detached barn conversion in a peaceful rural location near Hartland, North Devon within easy reach of Hartland Quay, and other local beaches.The cottage is down a private lane away from the main road, within the grounds of a smallholding. There are 2 spacious bedrooms, one on the ground floor and one upstairs. There is a fifth bed suitable for a child or teenager in the upstairs lobby. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. 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 heating mean the accommodation is ideal for any time of year. Well behaved dogs are welcome but please bear in mind that our chickens, ducks and geese are free range on the property.
Housing Crisis in the South West:
The Shippen only has planning consent as holiday accommodation so by booking it you are not preventing a local family from having a home to rent.
