  Shippen is a fantastic apartment!

  Spotlessly clean, comfortable and just a few steps from the beach at Hope Cove. Apart from the bedroom, every room has a fantastic seaview and it was lovely to sit and watch the ever changing sea and sky. The patio was a great spot to enjoy breakfast and a coffee, again, with a seaview. The owners of the property have thought of everything you could possibly need whilst on a break and it was the most well equipped holiday let we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed some lovely meals at The Hope and Anchor - shout out to the staff there who are so very welcoming. We enjoyed a day in Salcombe which was beautiful and only a 15 minute drive away. We would highly recommend Shippen and Hope Cove for a few days away and would definitely return.

  Apparently, following some redecoration, the property had been left without heat for some days and was very cold and still with out any heating on when we arrived.

  In our view, the electric wall mounted heaters would never be adequate in early spring, winter and late autumn mainly because of the high pitched ceilings in the living room and bedroom[i.e. heat rises].The wood burning stove is nice idea and very fashionable but, in practise, was difficult to light and 'ate' wood with out adding much to the warmth of the main living and sleeping areas.If the current system is going to be retained we suggest in the cold season a good electric fan heater is provided in lieu of the log burner.We,in fact, left a day early to avoid another evening and night at Beech cottage.The enormous TV was also much too big for a small living room.

  We stayed at Beech Cottage for a 5 day break around New Year.

  Very nice location in quiet lane overlooking lovely countryside. The log burner was most welcome . We took our dog Bueno with us , who enjoyed some great walks. We also took our bikes & dog trailer which Debbie, owner kindly let us store in her garage. You do need to take a torch with you, as the one in the cottage isn't great. There wasn't a comments book in the cottage, so could you please pass on our thanks for the prosecco Debbie left for us. A really enjoyable stay lucky too with the weather only rain once. Note to Sykes Holidays. Your paperwork stated contact for keys Lucy Watkins, this is incorrect. Its Debbie Potter although tel number is as you say

  The cottage was great, location and facilities were wonderful but I have marked down for two reasons.

  There were no fans- the cottage was rather hot and in these increasingly hit summers it was so uncomfortable we had to go out and buy a fan to cool the room for the children to sleep. Second was the black leather 3 piece suite in the lounge smelt fairly strongly of cigarettes. As non smokers it was a massive issue for me and I didn't want the children to sit on the sofas without a blanket as it transferred to their clothes and hair. I would strongly recommend it have a through and professional clean befor the next guests as it was rather an uncomfortable issue during the 5 day stay. Apart from that everything else was great.

  A great cottage for a totally relaxing break away.

  No phone signal but great WiFi so you can choose your level of connection with the world! Very clean, tidy and well equipped: comfortable beds, log burning fire, underfloor heating and cosy bathroom. The enclosed garden was great for our dog and, although we were only there for the weekend so did not use it, the exercise field behind is a great addition if we had been staying longer. Not too far from Okehampton and some great walks but take care if arriving in the dark as we were; you start to doubt you are on the right route as the tracks get smaller and more rutted! You are and it’s worth it when you arrive!
