Shippon End - Quiet location, communal gardens
Entire home in Dittisham, United Kingdom
The space
Shippon End is a mews-style barn conversion within Dittisham Court. With great character and atmosphere, this cottage is designed around uniquely quirky odd corner angles, giving it an extra charm. Local amenities and the river are all within walking distance and, even though Shippon End has no private outdoor space, guests benefit from access to the four acres of communal gardens and grounds of Dittisham Court and a private parking space. Dogs are also welcome at Shippon End.Accommodation:
The cottage is accessed via a small set of steps to the front door which opens into a hall leading to the sitting room and dining area The smart, shaker-style kitchen is well equipped with an electric hob and oven, integrated fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. Off the hall is also a cloakroom and WC.
Downstairs, there are two bedrooms – a double with pine and oak furniture, plus a built-in wardrobe; and a twin room (please note the single beds are a little smaller than normal, at 2ft 6inches wide, so they're better suited for children rather than adults). The bathroom has an electric shower over the bath.
There's central heating throughout.
Outside, there is a private parking space for one car.

A great place nestled in a gorgeous spot. Plenty of walks for us and the dog, a clean and spacious rental property for the week, well provisioned with everything you need for a week away. The village shop / pub is super friendly and has everything you could need, the pub down by the ferry does the best wood fired pizzas and the gluten free based are pretty much the best I’ve had!

A beautiful, peaceful location with stunning views all round. Virtually no noise from traffic or people, it couldn’t have been more peaceful. A well equipped modern property, which I suggest would be suitable for 2 adults and 2 children rather than 4 adults. The property and village is suitable for the more able bodied due the steps to the property and the steep roads, typical of Devon. We experienced lovely weather for most of the week resulting in the most stunning sunsets. If you are looking for peace and quiet, beautiful countryside and views this is certainly the place to go. The village pub, The Red Lion, is the hub of the village, with a friendly welcome and good food. It is also the post office and village shop. Be prepared for a car journey or substantial walk if you want to eat anywhere else. All in all, a lovely location.
