Guests say
The Shippen is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, including private gardens and a doggie welcome basket. The location is ideal for walking and visiting nearby beaches, though some guests note the need to drive for other activities. The local pub adds charm, despite some comments on its amenities.
Guests unanimously commend the property for its super cleanliness, with special thanks to the caretaker. The property is described as spotless, contributing to a warm and welcoming stay.
The location is celebrated for its great access to walking paths and proximity to beaches. However, some guests mention the need to drive for other activities and the distance from supermarkets, slightly affecting the score.
The Shippen is described as a comfortable 'home from home', with a cosy atmosphere and central heating. The property is spacious enough for families and provides a relaxing environment.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped cottage, gardens, and a BBQ. However, the lack of recycling bins and issues with parking access due to obstruction are noted.
The 'doggie welcome basket' is a thoughtful touch that guests appreciated. However, as gifts are not consistently mentioned across reviews, it is not possible to guarantee their provision, and thus the score is set to null.

The Shippen was a perfect place to spend a family holiday in East Prawle.Though secluded it is set in heart of the village.The Shippen was well equipped with everything you needed to enjoy a holiday : private front and back gardens, bbq , games, dvd’s etc.,It was a lovely spacious home from home.The ‘doggie welcome basket’ was a particularly lovely gesture.There are beaches within walking distance.
