The Shippen

A perfect place to retreat, relax and reset. Gorgeous views even in the pouring rain. Thank you for a lovely restful week.

The Shippen is truly a magical place to stay. Waking up every morning to the beautiful view, exploring the stunning scenery or just hanging out with my dog of an evening was just the break I needed. Thank you

A tribute to the owners, our hosts, on dealing with a situation beyond their control on discovering the spring, water supply, had suddenly failed. They kindly offered bottled water if we could manage without water pressure or a refund. We took the no quibble refund and will certainly re-book to stay in this lovely place with idyllic views and lovely owners.

Tranquility at it’s best. Air so fresh you wanted to bottle it!!! We loved staying at the Shippen. Felt immersed in Paul and Jeannie’s secluded way of life. It was a lovely stay.

The shippen is exactly as described. Seemingly plonked in the midst of stunning scenery of such stillness, quiet and solitude that it’s breathtaking, especially early evening sitting on the balcony with a gin and tonic listening to last calls of the woodland birds around you, the bleat, bleat, bleat of the lambs enjoying the last of the day and the ghostly shadows of the bats as they whip around the shippen on their nightly feed. There is everything here that you need, just take your own food and drinks and it’s paradise. Walk to the stiper stones along the Shropshire way - fabulous!
