About this property
… 4 miles from Colyton, deep in thick, lush hedgerow lanes in the Coly Valley, is the sleepy hamlet of Northleigh, 5 to 7 miles from the lovely coastal villages of Beer, Sidmouth and Branscombe. On the edge of Northleigh, three cottages converted from traditional Devon barns on a small mixed farm raising beef, free range poultry and a few piglets. An acre of lawn for energetic ball games or just sitting under a shading cherry tree and enjoying gorgeous rural views. Shared laundry room (washing machine, tumble drier, freezer) and games barn (table tennis, ½-sized snooker table, darts, table football) which can be adapted into a big dining room for special occasions, by arrangement. Ducks on the pond, cobblestones in the courtyard, a soppy dog and dignified cat make this an utterly charming place to stay, unwind and enjoy a friendly, rural idyll.
The Shippen: door from courtyard into open-plan living/dining/kitchen (dishwasher, microwave) with woodburner, TV/DVD and glazed door to patio (table/chairs) with lovely far-reaching rural views. Two bedrooms – a double, and a twin; big bathroom (suite, shower over bath). At the back, the shared lawn.

"The Shippon was VERY comfortable and had a tranquil atmosphere. Sue and Simon were very welcoming and helpful and the Victoria sponge and eggs were lovely.We will certainly be going back for another visit - there is plenty yet to see."
