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.

About the host
Hosted by Penny
We are a family of 5, with a dog called Santi, living on a small holding with ducks, geese and chickens.
Why they chose this property
We came to live in North Devon via Surrey and Malaysia. We love the peace and quiet of West Staddon, the proximity to an incredibly beautiful coastline, the sea views from our house and garden, and being part of Hartland's interesting and diverse community.
What makes this property unique
A peaceful getaway, down a private lane. The cottage is spacious and offers lots of different spaces to relax in whether the weather is warm or cold.
