  • "Our stay at No."

    1 Shippen Cottages was first class. From the comfort of the furnishings to the utensils in the kitchen we found everything to be top quality. As our stay was in the second week of October we especially enjoyed the underfloor heating. The countryside views and the garden added to the enjoyment of our holiday. We would thoroughly recommend Shippen Cottages for a quiet peaceful holiday.

  • "This is a fabulous place to stay."

    Clean, good shower, very comfortable bed and lounge furniture. A very peaceful location and accessible to a lot of good walks and undisturbed nature. It is almost impossible to find any fault at all with this beautifully decorated and well situated cottage. We will definitely book again. Thanks go to Anne and Mark.

  • "Everthing was spot on."

    I have always enjoyed my stays at Shippen cottage, the owners are friendly, attentive and helpful but never intrusive. Thanks to their excellent reading shelves I was able to comlete the quartet of Joanne Harris Chocolat series, The Strawberry Thief which was an added bonus to our late summer break.

  • "Beautiful setting, very peaceful."

    Cottage was lovely and clean with good quality bed linen and towels. Great space with a balcony overlooking the garden. Hosts were friendly and kind. Flowers, cakes and milk in the fridge on arrival was a lovely touch. Central spot to travel to various beauty spots in East Devon.

    On the whole we found the cottage and it’s area very peaceful and quiet, just what we needed. The owner were very kind and left a beautiful Victoria sponge along with half a dozen eggs, very fresh, which we appreciated. We were lucky to enjoy the good weather which lasted the whole week. I would be happy to book this cottage again with Sykes cottages in the future.

    Perfect ‘get away from it all’ destination to unwind. The access road is challenging for townies not used to country lanes, part of the experience.

  • "A beautiful property situated just off a quiet lane with idyllic views."

    The owners had thought of virtually everything you may need and even supplied binoculars to study the wildlife and birds that frequent the garden from the raised decking. The cottage was light, airy and spotless and felt homely.

  • "Lovely clean cottage, tidy, well kept garden, direct access to two footpaths although one is very steep, with loose flints, not suitable for anyone wanting an easy walk!"

    Beautiful river and bluebell wood. Peaceful holiday with everything we needed in the cottage. Very thoughtful owners.

  • "We found Shippen cottages to be ideally located in the East Devon countryside surrounded by good walks and plenty to do with the family; Lyme Regis is about twenty minutes away and Exeter half an hour or so to the west."

    The towns of Honiton and Axminster are about ten minutes drive so whilst enjoying the peaceful location you are only a few minutes drive from the main south west arterial routes. The cottage itself is well equipped, deceptively spacious and was spotlessly clean. There is underfloor heating throughout which works a treat! Outside there is a good sized child friendly balcony overlooking a secure lawned garden. There are also meadows (where we saw deer) accessed through an adjacent gateway where the owner has thoughtfully mowed a pathway up to a picnic bench (and rope swing) at the top where you can take in the views. The cottages also sit on a bridleway which appears to have little use but is well marked and gives instant access to open countryside and beautiful views along the valley. The owner really has thought of everything, right down to the conveniently placed hose pipe near the front door that we used to rinse off muddy paws! This property ticked all our boxes and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending these cottages to others and will certainly be returning!… Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    The balcony is wonderful. There's everything you could wish for in the cottage and the hosts are welcoming but discreet. The road to the cottages is very narrow, we thought we had taken the wrong route and would end up in a field! However if you persevere with the road you end up in a very peaceful and special place.

  • "The owners of the property are very consciientious about maintaining their own high standards which is spread further than points mentioned in the survey They ensure their guests can be well informed about the flora and fauna ( pocket reference books and binoculars)."

    In the immediate vicinity of the cottage you can observe the birds from a picnic table in the middle of of a wild flower meadow situated on the valley side , the view is stunning. For lovers of the countryside this is a wonderful cottage.
