We enjoyed our stay at the Shippen very much.
Its in a lovley scenic location, away from everything with countryside views but close enough for visits to Seaton,Budleigh Salterton,Exmouth,Sidmouth etc so it provided an ideal base for us. The owners Sue & Simon are available for advice if needed & left us fresh eggs,milk,apple juice & lovley cake. Our cottage was well equipped with a homely feel to it. We had a 4 berth cottage all ground floor & there are 2 more holiday lets there too (not single storey) so a larger family group could go together. Although we didnât use it,except to borrow dvds,the large gamesroom provided,table football,ping pong table,games,books,dvds & there were sofas to sit on too,it must be a great bonus for parents in wet weather! There are facilities for laundry in a nearby shared utility room,& good recycling boxes in the barn housing the bins,all clearly labelled so no guesswork! Outside there are ducks,chickens ,a crowing cockerel & some cows so any doggy visitors need to be on their leads! The Shippen has a patio with chairs & table for use on warmer days and thereâs a nice grassed orchard garden to the rear of the cottages available for guests to use. Itâs perfect for countryside lovers who want to get away from it all.

A lovely place to stay, with plenty to do.
Having the private beach was a real bonus as no need to get in the car if planning a day at the beach. Our grandson enjoyed the play area and had lots of fun together with children from the other cottages. The cottage was as described, and yes small but adequate for us and our grandson. We struggled to sleep well due to the small double bed which I had read about in previous reviews but chose to ignore hoping this issue may have been addressed.The cottage is nicely decorated and fairly well equipped, the towels were lovely and soft and although small , the bed was comfy. Our dog was also well catered for, treats, poo bags and even a towel. The animals were very friendly ,well cared for and enjoyed being fed on a regular basis (food available from the shared utility room). We didnât have a problem with the wi-fi or mobile signal as was previously mentioned in reviews. Staff very friendly and seldom seen so not intrusive in any way. The location is excellent, plenty of walking directly from the farm and a very short drive to Ilfracombe for supplies or day out etc. Also walking distance to local attractions and eateries. All in all a fabulous place to stay and highly recommend.

The cottage was beautiful.
The setting was lovely with all the animals having free roam of the land too was so nice to see. For the 3 of us and a dog Martin Cottage was just perfect, everything well presented and clean. The single room door sticks from the inside but when mentioned to a staff member they were willing to address it straight away if needed. Staff would walk past regularly and great our fur baby numerous times which she just loved. The cottages are set hire local to Hele Bay, we didnât manage to do the costal walk with an 8 week old but would definitely do it when we return. The private beach is a little rocky but is beautiful and very easy to get too, wish we had spent more time there. Overall lovely stay and looking forward to booking up again in the future.

The Shippen at Northleigh Farm is well away from the hustle and bustle of the major seaside towns.
For anyone who wants to get away to be deep in Devon countryside, where the only passing traffic is the local farmer on his tractor or a local going off to the shops. This is the place for you. The lanes surrounding the village of Northleigh are typically Devon ie narrow with high sides topped with 6 ft hedges. Good for long walks. The tourist traffic is well away to the north and south, so its only locals on the road. One day we met 2 cars en-route to Colyton , a distance of 4 miles. Sue is on hand in the background should you need to ask anything, but leaves you alone the rest of the time. A nice surprise was the home made cakes and bottle of apple juice made from the apples in the paddock. A good holiday was had at The Shippen.

The cottage is very well furnished with the exception of the bed in the main bedroom which was narrower than a normal double bed.
However the living area was very cramped and it was necessary to move furniture for comfort. The toilet brush was broken and cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling gave doubts about the cleaning regime, also despite being, quite rightly, asked to clear up after our dog there wsa a large amount of goose droppings in the parking area and by the cottages. While this can be expected in fields on a farm by holiday cottages and parking it is not acceptable. As there is to mobile phone signal there it was not good that there was no on-site contact in case of emergency, leaving a mobile number was not much use. All in all we were quite disappointed with Martin Cottage where we had been looking forwerd to staying.
