  Stunning coach house cottage full of rustic charm & character in a peaceful area with beautiful surroundings.

  Very clean with all the home from home utensils & appliances making this a comfortable stay. The bath is quite small with a hand held shower so if you are tall, it can be a bit uncomfortable. There is no way around this though with the cottage layout & beams. A cosy wood burner for the cooler evenings creeping in. The owners were a lovely, welcoming family with a small friendly dog that played with our dog. They had lots of tips about the local area also leaving a folder full of information & maps to look through & use if needed. So much to do on your doorstep with local walks & a short drive into the market Town of Ludlow. Would highly recommend & no hesitation staying again if we were in the area. The only thing I would say is the central heating system is controlled by the owners living next door & even though the wood burner was welcoming, the heating only came on for a short time twice a day. There were a couple of times we would of liked it on a little longer as it's getting colder now we're in October. I'm sure if we asked them to put it on again then they would of but it would of been nice to have that option.

  Exceptional property with really exceptional hosts.

  The shippen truly is a wonderful property with absolutely ALL the comforts of home. Fully equipped kitchen , very comfortable lounge furniture with freesat TV, as well as Netflix, large bathroom & large bedrooms with a four poster bed which is so comfortable we wanted to take it home. Outside, there is very comfortable patio furniture in a secluded private area sheltered from the wind, with seasonal salad crops & herbs to help yourself to. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the proud owners David & Veronica. For them, running a guest/holiday home is a recent adventure & they have worked very hard to make your holiday stay in the Shippen as comfortable as possible with great success. There were some wonderful treats waiting for us , a lovely cream tea, biscuits, milk as well as a bottle of wine, even had doggy treats for Dexter our mad springer spaniel. Our week here went so fast we tried to book the following week to stay a little longer but alas some other fortunate guests had already booked it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & we will most definitely be coming back here again.

  We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at the Shippen.

  We really didn't want to come home. Dave and Veronica were the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The property itself was amazing. Comfortable clean and had every thing you could possibly need. The welcoming gift was the best we've ever had. Prosecco cream tea apple juice biscuits milk tea coffee the list was endless. Veronica had put lovely flowers everywhere. It really is a 5 star cottage. Sammy our dog loved it too he settled in from the minute he arrived. He did not want to come home either. He loves his special doggy treats bowls towels and doggy bags. Veronica and Dave are the kindest friendly and welcoming people ever. They were there if we needed them but were never intrusive. They allowed us to holiday in peace. The Shippen is perfect and in a perfect location to chill out. In fact it deserves 10 star just for the huge comfy bed. I almost stole it. Didn't want to give it up Thank you Dave and Veronica. We will definitely be back. Jackie Tony and Sammy xx

  The cottage was comfortable and well equipped and in a pleasant location.

  The parking arrangements were good in the forecourt of the owners house. The bell on the church opposite was noticeable in the quiet but was not disturbing. Our main concerns were the very low ceilings in the bathroom where the bath and hand shower were tucked under the eaves and likewise the toilet. Access is difficult for people who are less The other issue was the listing as having a pub within a mile. The pub was a long way down country lanes which are unlit and have no footpath. I am sceptical that it is within one mile. This is critical when this is a filter choice and a reason for considering the cottage,. We noticed that the information in the cottage said that the pub was about 30 mins walk while the website information at the time of booking said 15-20 mins walk.

  The coach House is a lovely cottage if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle, either a couple or family of 4.

  The bathroom is quirky but well set out. Views amazing and alll within easy access to Ludlow. The cottage layout is really comfortable. The cottage had not been used for the 2 weeks prior to our stay and due to it being winter the first 2 days were very cold in the cottage. There is no access to the thermostat so guests have to communicate with the owners, if they want the heating routine changed, we were advised 24hours notice. This did not suit us as we like to do our own thing and did not have a strict itinerary. We did not realise that it was connected to the main house through an internal door. We could hear occasional chatting and moving which was a bit off putting for us and the dog. Overall a great stay.
