Overview
Property code: 52087

Set in a beautiful location on a working farm, The Old Shippon is the perfect base for discovering Devon and Cornwall. Embark on an adventure along the Atlantic Coast, taking in the crashing waves and imposing rocks, or stroll through the luscious countryside and neighbouring villages. Weary from exploring, return to the comfort of this cosy cottage, kept toasty by underfloor heating. Change into comfortable pyjamas, choose a favourite film and curl up together with a bowl of popcorn for a relaxing family evening.

Fresh, contemporary and full of light, this charming single-level cottage is well suited to small families seeking home comforts in peaceful surroundings. The open-plan living area is ideal for spending quality time together chatting around the table or preparing tempting treats in the kitchen. Throw open the French doors to dine with countryside views, or alfresco with a BBQ in the enclosed garden. Follow the hallway to find two bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower over the bath: a welcoming haven after a day’s adventure.

Conveniently located close to the Devon and Cornwall border, you’ll be spoilt for choice of where to explore first. Navigate the impressive landscape of Dartmoor 17.5 miles away, stopping for a cream tea at Tavistock on your way. Visit the historic Cornish town of Launceston 7.5 miles away, or the majestic castle and coastal views of Tintagel 27 miles away. Treat the family to a day out somewhere special, such as Dingles Fairground and Heritage Centre, a delightful attraction 8 miles away.

A wonderful, peaceful stay! The property is beautiful, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The owners have thought of everything. The view from the garden is fabulous, right over to Bodmin Moor. It was so relaxing listening to the sound of birds and nothing else. Great location to enable days out in Cornwall and Devon in all directions.
