The Shippen

The Shippen is a real gem. We stayed there for the third time and can't recommend it enough. Beautiful place, perfect for a battery recharge from a busy life in London. The host are always welcoming and ever so helpful. Pack some good reads and your walking boots, its a perfect place for sleeping, reading, walking and daydreaming. Highly recommemded.

The Shippen is a wonderful getaway in the Shropshire hills. We were attracted by the photographs which showed the surrounding beauty and high-end decor, but you have to visit to appreciate the full experience. Jeannine and Paul were excellent hosts and very good communicators. We visited with our daughter and puppy, plenty of room and lots of lovely walks in the area.

Relaxing and beautiful location, peaceful and quiet, although transport is a must to get to the nearest pub ! but that wasn't a problem for us. Accommodation, very spacious, comfortable in all aspects. Stunningly decorated to a high standard, plenty of kitchen equipment. Can't fault this place, if your looking for peace and quiet this is the place for you.

Our stay at the Shippen was superb...a little mix up on arrival with a faulty key safe but Jeannie very quickly resolved the situation. Everything you need has been provided ....especially board games which came in handy when the weather closed in on us! The water system can be a bit hit and miss ( water comes from their own spring) but when you consider the location and the unique accommodation it is something you can live with. The log burner is wonderful and creates a wonderful cosy atmosphere. If you want to experience a peaceful and rural haven this is the place. The views are stunning.

We wanted peace and quiet in a natural setting, in a beautiful space, and that was just what we got ! On a clear night you can watch the stars from the bed. It was perfect, so much so that while we were there we booked it for New Year..............so really looking forward to that :0)
