  We enjoyed our stay at the Shippen very much.

  Its in a lovley scenic location, away from everything with countryside views but close enough for visits to Seaton,Budleigh Salterton,Exmouth,Sidmouth etc so it provided an ideal base for us. The owners Sue & Simon are available for advice if needed & left us fresh eggs,milk,apple juice & lovley cake. Our cottage was well equipped with a homely feel to it. We had a 4 berth cottage all ground floor & there are 2 more holiday lets there too (not single storey) so a larger family group could go together. Although we didn’t use it,except to borrow dvds,the large gamesroom provided,table football,ping pong table,games,books,dvds & there were sofas to sit on too,it must be a great bonus for parents in wet weather! There are facilities for laundry in a nearby shared utility room,& good recycling boxes in the barn housing the bins,all clearly labelled so no guesswork! Outside there are ducks,chickens ,a crowing cockerel & some cows so any doggy visitors need to be on their leads! The Shippen has a patio with chairs & table for use on warmer days and there’s a nice grassed orchard garden to the rear of the cottages available for guests to use. It’s perfect for countryside lovers who want to get away from it all.

  We stayed for 1 week over the may half term.

  Cobweb corner is a cute little cottage full of character and charm! Tony who owns it lives in the larger adjoining cottage door with his lovely dog Otto. Tony was so friendly and accommodating and was so good (as was otto) with our daughter. He is full of local knowledge, places to visit, pubs to eat at etc. Our daughter loved the attic play room and having a quiet hide away space to chill out in. Beds were comfy and we slept so well after long days on the beach. Full digital TV package to catch up on programmes or chill out with a film night. Never ran out of hot water with us all showering every night to get rid of the sand. There's no oven but a clean and easy to use air fryer, electric touch hob and microwave was fine to cook a variety of meals! A shop next door (expensive) but very useful for grabbing essentials or a bottle of wine and only a 10 minute stroll to the local beach which is beautiful. If there's anything you need just ask Tony and he'll help or point you in the right direction! We have previously stayed at Trecco bay caravan site (round the corner) but much preferred Cob Webb corner for a more chilled out and relaxed holiday away from the hustle and bustle of it all!!

  This little cottage touched us with its rural charm and beauty offering peaceful and quiet rest in the heart of Welsh farmers’ region. We spent a week there and truly love it. This location offers close access to lovely woodlands areas with amazing views suitable for walking, running or mountain biking, a good distance (40min) by car from Pen y Fan peak near Brecon town. The accommodation was clean and kitchen equipped with everything you need for self-catering accommodation. The owners take care of everything for your comfort. We met Ian, the farmer, who is such a charismatic person and being very helpful with local information. There is no wi-fi but very good 4G network cover. Big thank you to Wendy and Ian offering their cottage for holiday makers and make us feel home from the time you open the door.

  Cobweb Corner – a great name for a really great little holiday cottage!

  ! Nestled right in the heart of Newton village we spent 5 lovely days in this warm cosy cottage that was full of character and ‘olde-worlde’ charm. Tony made us feel really welcome when we arrived, gave us all the information we needed, showed us round, and was on hand just next door if we wanted anything. The bed was really comfy, nice bathroom, cosy lounge, seating indoors and out, and very tidy, just what we wanted. Location is incredible, only 2 minutes’ walk to the village green, church, pub, and places of interest, and 5 minutes from the wonderful beach. Tony shared all his local knowledge, gave fantastic insights into the 400-year history of the cottage, and added some thoughtful little touches to our stay. Great holiday, thanks Tony From Paul, Jackie & Cokie the pug.

  The Shippen at Northleigh Farm is well away from the hustle and bustle of the major seaside towns.

  For anyone who wants to get away to be deep in Devon countryside, where the only passing traffic is the local farmer on his tractor or a local going off to the shops. This is the place for you. The lanes surrounding the village of Northleigh are typically Devon ie narrow with high sides topped with 6 ft hedges. Good for long walks. The tourist traffic is well away to the north and south, so its only locals on the road. One day we met 2 cars en-route to Colyton , a distance of 4 miles. Sue is on hand in the background should you need to ask anything, but leaves you alone the rest of the time. A nice surprise was the home made cakes and bottle of apple juice made from the apples in the paddock. A good holiday was had at The Shippen.
