Vaulted ceilings, exposed trusses and beautifully styled spaces create a home that beckons you to swap the bustle of a busy routine with pure relaxation, all while taking in the sweeping views of Devon's picturesque countryside which lies right on the doorstep. Designed to offer complete comfort during your stay, every room in this home has been thoroughly and thoughtfully kitted out. Large bi-fold doors in the living area open the space to the outside so on warm, sunny days you can soak up the scenery without having to move off the sofa (other than to charge your glass of course!). Expect superior mattresses and tasteful soft furnishings in the bedrooms, high-quality features and fittings in the bathrooms, and a superbly equipped kitchen so you can rustle up family feasts or even bake your very own batch of Devonshire scones. The setting is rather special too, and with the home's layout maximising the views, you'll have the beauty of the surrounding landscape on constant display from nearly every angle. Perfectly located to offer guests both rural tranquillity and beach holiday bliss, this is a place where you can truly get away from it all. Your holiday home has a large, sheltered garden for fresh air dining, as well as a sprawling front terrace where you can unwind whilst taking in the views. The lovely seaside town of Dawlish lies just 3 minutes' drive away where you'll find sandy beaches for lazing on and clear water for swimming and water sports. The town offers a host of shops, restaurants and café's too, along with all the amusements of a traditional seaside resort, so there's plenty to keep guests of all ages entertained. Teignmouth and Shaldon are within a short drive and here you'll discover bustling promenades, a lido and more sandy stretches, while the Exeplorer Water Taxi service which operates from Dawlish Warren, can ferry you across to Exmouth which is the perfect place for sailing, windsurfing and paddle boarding. With its unspoilt and rugged landscape, tors, forest and reservoirs to explore, Dartmoor which is a 20-minute drive from The Shippon, offers lovers of the outdoors a wonderful day out. Naturally, a trip to this special place wouldn't be complete without a country pub pit-stop and there are plenty to choose from, whether for a quick refreshment or a hearty Sunday lunch! Closer to home at only 10 minutes' drive away, Haldon Forest offers visitors of all ages the chance for adventure with its 12km of wooded cycle paths which are ideal for mountain biking or walks. There are bikes for hire here too, as well as a café and play area. \*Please note that access to this countryside home is via roads which are narrow and single track in places ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Unit size: 3,229 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33590000/33583100/33583037/9e330262.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Uninterrupted sea views, beautiful seaside town, indoor pool.

Absolutely gorgeous house, lovely decor and great layout for our family. We can’t fault it and Im sure we will return. We love the location which is very quiet but also near to Dawlish, Exeter and supermarkets.

The Shippon is set in a very rural Devon location. It was an ideal house for 8 old friends to catch up and relax. The house was spotless and has all the amenities required for a weeks stay. Online groceries assisted with the relaxation! I would definitely recommend and we will be booking again! ##### Matt D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 23 Jun 2024 #### Beautiful house in a peaceful location The Shippon was perfect for our multi-generation family to stay at and gave us a great base to explore South Devon. The accommodation was spotless, beautifully designed, had all mod cons, with everything provided and was super comfortable, spacious and accessible for all 7 of us. Really enjoyed those stunning views too. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home from home with us. Would happily return again, the area has so much to offer. We had a very chilled week, but we loved the NT places.. Killerton and Castle Drogo as well as Exmouth Beach, Beer and Canonteign Waterfalls. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy R. 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Andy R.
