The Old Shippon Mews was fab in its own dark skies area when the lights went out in the evening it was bliss. Lovely decorated to a high standard. The property was warm. The shower was fab. The kitchen Island was lovely easy to wipe down. Could have done with a small drainer next to the sink as we like to wash up by hand. Also a small washing machine could have been of use as we like to wash our clothes whilst on holiday. Other than that it was a superb stay in beautiful surroundings, with the hills and short walks nearby. I'd give this property 10/10 clean and well presented.
