Peaceful Cottage in Rural North Devon, near the Ocean

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.
Housing Crisis in the South West:
The Shippen only has planning consent as holiday accommodation so by booking it you are not preventing a local family from having a home to rent.

September Holiday
A quiet, comfortable, spacious and well equipped barn conversion with all that is needed for a restful holiday. Plenty of space for small children to run around, both indoors and outdoors. The area is a cliff walkers paradise but parking car parking is sometimes quite limited. Penny, the owner, was always about to give advice and the eggs were super fresh.

A great stay in a beautiful, comfy, home!
We loved our stay with Penny! The home had all the things we needed to be comfy and was really beautiful. The wood stove was great (might have contributed to some dust on the floor, but really a tiny issue)! We had intended to hike a lot but were rained out; no matter as we spent a lot of time just relaxing in this great house. Penny is also an incredible host. Very communicative and kind. She had to check on something in the house while we were out and was incredibly covid-safe, airing out the house in-between, wiping things down, etc.... We really appreciate that. Highly recommend staying with Penny!
