The Shippon Reviews

Kirsty

We had a wonderful week at The Shippon. The cottage was beautiful. The views were amazing. We used the hot tub every evening which was so relaxing. The hosts were brilliant very welcoming and helpful.

Very stylish, comfortable and cosy property with everything we needed for a restful stay.

What a wonderful property, home from home. Thank you Sara for all your little extras.milk eggs cakes tea coffee etc The Christmas tree was beautiful. Thank you Ozgur for topping up the logs for the wood burner.nothing like a real fire Your hot tub was by far the best bit for us, star gazing on the cold nights, wrapped in the warm waterWe could not ask for anything better. Thank you.

Amazing stay, Sara & zgr were the best hosts so accommodating couldn't recommend higher!

This was our second visit to The Shippon my wife and I first stayed in the property in July this year. The property is gorgeous, immaculately maintained, and set against the backdrop of the beautiful Blackdown Hills. Sara and Ozgur are the perfect hosts on hand when you need them but allow you the space to relax and get away from it all. We were welcomed by a few essentials in the fridge and a very tasty Dorset Apple Cake. We can't wait to visit again!

Fantastic host property is emasculate perfect stay everything you need cant ... Fantastic host property is emasculate perfect stay everything you need cant wait to return ,so good perfect bed great nights sleep everything you need for great vacation

Fantastic experience. .lovely hosts ...highly recommended and we will definitely back early in the new year.

Richard

Sara and Ozgur gave us a very warm welcome and we immediately felt at home . The property is tastefully and beautifully furnished. The view from the cottage is stunning and there is a delightful hot tub to relax in! One is thoroughly spoilt staying here and we highly recommend it.

Andrea

Sara & Ozgur are perfect hosts, they have made The Shippon a perfect place to stay. We were welcomed and shown round by Sara who had also left us some delicious scones, jam, cream and milk and eggs from a local farm. The cottage is immaculately decorated and has everything you need to make your stay perfect. The superking sized bed is so comfortable and there is a lovely view of the countryside from the bedroom window. The hot tub was the perfect place to end the day relaxing while star gazing due to no light pollution. Blackdown escapes is so peaceful and great place for a relaxing break, however the seaside is only approx 25 minutes away via car with plenty more villages and attractions not too far away within Devon, Somerset and Dorset. We will be recommending Blackdown escapes to all our family & friends.

Carley

The Shippon is amazing! ! There is nothing Sara & Ozgur havent thought about! We was welcomed with a cream tea which was beautiful & fresh milk and eggs from daisys farm. The kitchen has everything you need and you also have a bbq so we cooked everyday and had lunch out! The hot tub is a added luxury and although the weather wasnt great for us we still took full of advantage of the hot tub in rain or shine, the views are beautiful and it is just so peaceful! Sara & ozgur are always there if you need them! I wanted to add something about the bed because oh my you will not want to get out of it!! We slept with the blind open slightly so that in the morning we had the view of the country side and every morning it was more beautiful to wake up to! The cottage is so cosy and relaxing you will not want to leave! We are already looking to book again! The area is ideal, you are close to so many beaches and the beautiful Jurassic coast. Cant wait until next time!!

Loved are stay at the Shippon very relaxing, Sara and Oscar was very helpful advised us on nice places to eat and places of interest, the hot tub was amazing. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a fabulous week's stay at the Shippon despite the wet, changeable weather. The property is superb, very tastefully furnished, with every mod con to hand. The setting couldn't be more beautiful or tranquil. This is without doubt the best Sykes property we've ever stayed in. Sara and Oscar were wonderful, attentive hosts and even left us a clotted cream tea and a few essentials on arrival. Thank you! We look forward to booking another stay at the property.

Wow! Only want to say wonderful cottage, with phenomenal views. Friendly and helpful hosts who go above and beyond to help and to make your stay as amazing as possible. We will certainly be booking again.

The accommodation was first class and was equipped with everything you needed ... The accommodation was first class and was equipped with everything you needed along with the hot tub and amazing views it all added up to the most relaxing holiday in beautiful countryside but near enough to the coast so best of both worlds complete with friendly hosts on hand if needed

We have just returned from a 5 night break at the Shippon and we already wished we were back there. Beautiful cottage in glorious country side. The cottage is ideal for a relaxing holiday with the hot tub overlooking the fields. Lots of thoughtful touches as well as everyday essentials. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

Michael

What a fantastic place! The owners, Sara & Ozgur were very welcoming and have clearly gone to a lot of time and effort to make this a real home from home. It is decorated and furnished to a high standard with a very comfortable super king size bed. Outside you can relax in the hot tub, have a glass of bubbly or two and take in the wonderful views. If you are lucky you may even catch sight of the local deer, peasants, bats and hares. The nearby pub is a 1520 minutes walk away where the staff are friendly and the beerfood very good. There are plenty of things to do in the surrounding area with the coast and National Trust walks all within a short drive away. If you want a place to chill and relax then we would highly recommend The Shippon. We look forward to returning.
