“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.
