The Shippon is a two-story property with a private entrance, one of six cottages on our site, and is attached to the Linhay.

A dishwasher and washer/dryer are available for the exclusive use of Shippon guests.

This leads into a family snug area with a large corner sofa and a TV for watching DVDs (please note this TV has no aerial signal and is only suitable for DVDs). There is also a convenient cloakroom with a toilet and sink.
