Guests say
The Shippon is a modern and comfortable cottage appreciated for its peaceful, rural setting and spacious outdoor area, ideal for dogs. Guests have praised the luxurious touches, underfloor heating, and well-equipped kitchen. The property's location is convenient for exploring the South Lakes and nearby attractions, with some guests noting the necessity of a car for travel. While some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness oversights were mentioned, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests planning return visits.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and welcoming. However, a few mentioned the presence of cobwebs, dust, and in one case, a pair of socks left behind. These instances suggest room for improvement in the cleaning routine.
The location is generally praised for its quietness and proximity to local attractions, though it is noted that a car is necessary to access shops and amenities. The rural setting is appreciated for its tranquility and scenic views.
Guests have complimented the comfortable bed and underfloor heating, contributing to a cosy stay. Some guests found the furniture, such as the sofa and dining chairs, to be a bit worn or in need of maintenance, slightly detracting from the overall comfort.
The property is well-equipped with modern appliances and facilities, including a large garden for dogs. However, some guests reported issues with heating control, wobbly dining chairs, and an alarm sensor. These points indicate that while facilities are generally good, there is a need for ongoing maintenance.
While guests have mentioned receiving welcome gifts such as wine and snacks, there are not enough references to consistently evaluate the thoughtfulness of the hosts. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely cottage in a good location for exploring the lakes. This is our third time and will be back. Great garden for the dog who loves to explore it. (Just one thing the couch is looking a bit worse for wear.)

This is a really lovely place to stay. Really care has been taken with the design and equipment of the property and it is nestled in a beautiful part of the world with so much to see.It was a bit tricky to find in the dark when you don'tknow the area, but otherwise we can't rate it highly enough.

The shippon was lovely and a lot of money has been spent on it. There is a washing machine, hairdryer, microwave, dishwasher, 2 large tvs, dressing table, large L shaped sofa, under floor heating which was a bit difficult to control the heat and the only negative thing is the alarm pir in the bedroom that illuminates the room every time you move during the night. There is a large walk in shower and very spacious open plan kitchen, dining, living space and outside a massive grass area ideal for small dogs that can’t jump on the 3-4ft wall. We have a black lab but kept him on his extended lead just in case because you are on the side of a B road although not overly busy. Large driveway shared with the other holiday property next door but ample space. Lovely stay very quiet would definitely recommend.
