Brilliant countryside views making this a really peaceful, relaxing and calming place to stay, made even more perfect by the private hot tub. So much love and thought put into making their guests feel extra special. We cannot recommend Shippon highly enough - will definitely be rebooking.

The hot tub was incredible and overlooks the fields. Sara and her husband were very welcoming and helped us unload, whilst also giving us complete privacy. Would definitely recommend staying here!
