About this property

Two bedroom stone cottage near Dartmoor and Devon beaches

Shippon Cottage is part of a 17th Century Manor House and is located within a walled courtyard shared by two other cottages with its own private access and car parking facility. The building was previously part of a large working farm and the 'Shippon' is where the sheep would have been kept and fed. It has recently been completely refurbished and boasts a new kitchen and bathroom along with a lounge and two bedrooms. There is one double bedroom and the other has twin single beds.

The cottage is located close to the main A38 which goes to Plymouth and Cornwall so access to the tourist sites of Devon and Cornwall is very easy. It is within walking distance of the town of Ashburton, known for its Antiques Trail and long history as the centre of the wool and mining industries of days gone by. It is also within walking distance of a pub/restaurant at Furzeleigh Mill as well as the town of Buckfastleigh which hosts the South Devon Steam Railway running to Totnes. Access to Dartmoor is within ten minutes by car and the beaches of South Devon are less than half an hour's drive.

We are currently ensuring that the property remains empty for 36 hours between each guest in order to minimise the risk of Covid19 transmission.

Highly recommend!
Beautiful spacious cottage, that had everything we needed. Very comfortable beds, great location. Mark and Helen were extremely welcoming and very informative, particularly regarding places of interest, including eateries suitable for specific dietary requirements. We definitely plan to stay again in the future and would highly recommend.

Country retreat
We had a great stay in the cottage which has been recently refurbished, it had everything we needed for our stay and all the rooms were very clean and well presented. The open plan living room and kitchen were upstairs with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs. A great courtyard to relax or dine out , weather permitting. The location is very rural with 2 small towns nearby. A car is much recommended as the cottage is some way from everything and I am not sure about public transport. The location is very good as a base to see the sights of Devon but remember a lot of the roads are rural and be prepared to pull over for oncoming cars. I would definitely recommend staying at one of the cottages here and you will have a great stay.

Excellent cottage in a nice location
It was really nice holiday at Shippon Cottage. Very cosy cottage with fully equipped kitchen. We explored most of the south Devon and it was quite easy to do so because of the great location of the cottage. Thanks to Helen and Mark for making it very easy to check in and check out!
