“Really lovely, well equipped cottage.”

The games room was a brilliant addition. The owners were really friendly and we had some delicious cake and fresh eggs waiting for us when we arrived. The cottage is a bit remote but only 10-15 minutes from Honiton and 25 minutes from Lyme Regis. Really peaceful and lovely.

“Cottage was lovely and comfortable.”

The welcome pack of a basket of eggs there own apple juice and a jug of milk for a cup of tea /coffee was very welcome . The kitchen area was well equipped. Even if you didn't wait to go out you could sit on the sofa and look out the French window over the rolling countryside.

Diane September 2023

“We had a lovely stay at The Shippen.”

The property was clean, comfortable with everything we needed. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The only downsides were the very narrow and bendy lanes to reach it. But it is the price to pay for the beautiful area and outlook.

- Diane, September 2023
Peter September 2023

“We have just had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in the Shippen.”

We had a lovely warm welcome from Sue and Simon and the apple juice, eggs and cake were much appreciated . Also, the jug of milk in the fridge was a lovely touch. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The lanes are narrow but we soon got used to them and well worth the effort to get back to this peaceful location with spectacular views and fresh air to breathe. We hope to come again before too long

- Peter, September 2023

Thank you so much. We’re glad you had a good holiday. Property Owner
Barbara September 2023

“A warm welcome on arival the property was clean and comfortable and in beautiful country side .”

Sue and Simon were friendly and helpfull but wernt overpowering Totaly enjoyed our stay and would recomend .

- Barbara, September 2023
Gemma August 2023

“We had a lovely stay at The Shippen.”

Well placed to explore beaches, farms and lovely villages. The fact the property was all on one floor worked really well with a young family and they loved the animals. We were lucky enough to have two calves born during our stay to make it even more memorable. The games room was a nice addition meaning we could keep entertained even when the weather wasn't great and we borrowed quite a few films during our stay. My only suggestion would be to provide child/toddler cutlery/plastic plates as there were none in the property.

- Gemma, August 2023

Thank you Gemma. We welcome feedback and you will be pleased to hear all 3 cottages now have children’s cutlery. Glad you enjoyed your time with us. Property Owner
Siobhan August 2023

“Sue and Simon were very welcoming and fantastic hosts!”

Fresh eggs, apple juice and homemade Victoria sponge were waiting for us when we arrived and were delicious. Such a perfect spot to switch off and reset. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

- Siobhan, August 2023

What great feedback~ thank you. We do make a big effort to welcome people to Northleigh Farm and are glad you had a good time here. Property Owner
Kirsty July 2023

“Lovely week away in the peace and quiet with fabulous views of the Devon countryside.”

Our cottage was clean, very comfortable and well equipped for the four of us plus the dog. Would definitely recommend.

- Kirsty, July 2023

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay . Thanks for great comments. Property Owner
Suzanne June 2023

“No problem with the cottage but the actual road to get to it is a nightmare”

- Suzanne, June 2023

I am sorry our recent visitors found our road such a ‘nightmare’, but I am unable to do anything about this. As our cottage description accurately states we live in a farming community in lush Devon countryside and always recommend visitors use our printed directions and not rely on sat nav and this may have helped. The roads are quiet with occasional passing tractors and that, to many people, is the joy of coming here. Property Owner
Jeremy May 2023

“Lovely place to stay.”

Roads in the area are mostly single track and watch out for potholes if you have low ground clearance.

- Jeremy, May 2023
Paul May 2023

“Such a beautiful little secret hideaway.”

So quiet and the Owners Sue and Simon have everything possible available. Lovely home made cake on arrival with fresh hen and duck eggs and a lovely bottle of fresh Apple Juice. Thanks for a lovely stay. Julie, Paul and Casper xx

- Paul, May 2023
Susan April 2023

“This was our second stay at the Shippen.”

Lovely addition of fresh eggs, cake and apple juice on arrival The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and spacious. The surroundings are peaceful and relaxing, yet you are within easy reach of the coast. There are also many lovely walks on your doorstep. Lovely quiet countryside location

- Susan, April 2023
Julie April 2023

“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 didn’t 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 there’s a nice grassed orchard garden to the rear of the cottages available for guests to use. It’s perfect for countryside lovers who want to get away from it all.

“The accommandation was as good as the freshly home baked Lemon Drizzy that met our arrival.”

- Agnieszka, February 2023
John October 2022

“We chose this to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed.”

Everything was first class. There was a lovely paddock in which we could run our dogs. A cracking Games Room where we nearly learnt how to play table tennis and pool but we had to use a larger ball to score on the football. Incidentally we had previously booked another place on AIRBnB but as I was unwilling to download my drivers licence for fear of being scammed, they cancelled us. Sykes was easy.

- John, October 2022
Laurence October 2022

“Would highly recommend.”

It was very quiet and away from any urban annoyances. The Shippen is ideal if you want to get away from it all.

- Laurence, October 2022
Carol September 2022

“A lovely cosy cottage away from the madding crowd, where you can just relax and unwind.”

The Shippen is part of Northleigh Farm and it’s lovely to see the ducks splashing in their little pond and the guinea fowl wandering around. How lovely to be greeted with fresh farm eggs, homemade apple juice and yummy slices of cake on the table as we entered the cottage. So kind and thoughtful and we were made to feel very welcome by the friendly owners. We certainly want to return again to the Shippen.

- Carol, September 2022
Paul September 2022

“Superb accommodation and well furnished.”

Excellent welcome of home produce. Thoroughly recommended.

- Paul, September 2022
Sue August 2022

“We had a short break available at short notice and were delighted to be able to find the Shippen.”

The hosts were wonderful making my husband and I, our daughter and 3yr old grandson extremely welcome. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and well presented, exactly as we hoped. The hosts had supplied home made cake as well as farm eggs and apple juice and I was delighted to be able to bring home jam and more apple juice afterwards as a family gift. The farm animals - pigs and ducks made a special extra treat for our grandson. The gardens were safe and well maintained which was really appreciated. We found the area delightful and were able to access the local towns and beaches easily. I would most definitely like to return.

- Sue, August 2022
Tracy July 2022

“Lovely stay, friendly and helpful hosts, thank you!”

- Tracy, July 2022
Philip June 2022

“A lovely place to stay.”

We spent a week here with our two-year-old twins and dog. The owners were really nice and helpful, they even put farmyard duvet covers on the boys beds which they loved! The boys also really enjoyed the cows, pigs, ducks and hens on the farm. Northleigh is a lovely quiet village away from the main tourist areas, but only a short drive from coast. The accommodation was clean, well maintained, comfortable, and child and dog friendly. Everything we could want! A big thank you to the owners for a great holiday and making us so welcome. Phil and Susie

- Philip, June 2022
Janet June 2022

“The Shippen was very spacious for 2 people.”

All the facilities worked well, although we would have preferred a walk in shower rather than a bath with shower but that is just personal preference! The location was peaceful and picturesque and was quite close to a number of seaside resorts and the small town of Colyton which was well worth visiting. Take care when driving through the lanes as they are mostly single track with high hedges. Wonderful countryside! Our hosts were friendly and accommodating and responded well to any requests we made. We enjoyed our stay!

- Janet, June 2022
Pam May 2022

“Property very well equipped and lovely peaceful setting with beautiful views.”

Owners live in adjacent farmhouse and very helpful. Also provide their own eggs, home made sausages (highly recommended), home pressed apple juice and home made jam and marmalade. Highly recommended.

- Pam, May 2022
Yvonne April 2022

“Our family had a fun break in this beautiful, peaceful location.”

Anna October 2021

“Excellent Cottage and rural surroundings, just what we needed for a quiet break.”

Owners on site and very welcoming. Loved the arrival goodies of fresh eggs, freshly baked cake and home pressed apple juice. Cottage facilities great, we loved the wood burner (so did our dog!). Great local walks for the dog, near to small towns, and lovely coast. Would definitely recommend and return.

- Anna, October 2021
Alexander September 2021

“Lovely place to stay which we enjoyed very much.”

Very quiet and indeed very rural. Would have no hesitation in returning on another occasion.

- Alexander, September 2021
Susan September 2021

“Lovely peaceful setting ideal for walking the dog in the surrounding countryside.”

Within easy reach of the coastal places. Friendly hosts. Much appreciated eggs, scones, apple juice and jam on arrival. Would recommend this accomodation

- Susan, September 2021
William September 2021

“I would draw attention to the narrowness of the country lanes around the host farm which although a "charming" local feature is not good for nervous drivers.”

Also although dogs are permitted as advertised, they were required to be kept on a lead at all times when outside due to the presence of guinea fowl wandering free. A bit restrictive at times when exercising etc. Property was excellent and a great location, hosts very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Access to east coast and Dorset area was very easy

- William, September 2021
Christine August 2021

Sue, the farm owner, was very friendly and really helpful with local information .

- Sue, August 2021
Louise July 2021

“Lovely week spent in The Shippen.”

Owners live on site and we’re very hospitable. The large garden at the back was good for the dog to have a run around and the patio at the front was a lovely sun trap. Would recommend staying here even with the twisty turney lanes!

- Louise, July 2021
Linda June 2021

“The hosts were very friendly but kept a discreet distance.”

The property was very good all on one level and was well equipped. Position was central to the attractions of east Devon.

- Linda, June 2021
Christine September 2020

“The location was brilliant loved the peace and quiet,but it was to far from beaches and towns.”

It was by far the cleanest cottage I've stayed in with everything you could need.The owners where there to meet us and was very helpful.We have already booked again for next year and are taking the grandkids.

- Christine, September 2020
Celia September 2020

“Friendly owners.”

Good location which I was familiar with as had a home in village many years ago. Good eating venues in area and comfortable area to visit

- Celia, September 2020
Peter September 2020

“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.

- Peter, September 2020
Sue August 2020

“We had a wonderful holiday at The Shippen.”

Perfectly clean and comfortable barn conversion with all home comforts. Sue the owner met us on arrival and couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Our 4 year old loved meeting all the animals, especially monty and tabby the cats, and it was a great safe environment for her. Perfect peaceful location for exploring the local area. We will be back!

- Sue, August 2020
Louise August 2020

“The owners were lovely, a beautiful and peaceful setting.”

The Shippen was immaculately clean. A great place for children, a lovely paddock and all of their animals to look at.

- Louise, August 2020

Michelle August 2019

“The shippen is a spacious, clean cottage with everything that you need!”

It’s located in the middle of glorious countryside down some very narrow lanes which after a couple of days you get the hang of! You are made to feel so welcome on the farm and my two children loved helping in the garden and collecting the eggs. It’s a short drive away from beautiful coastline beaches. We all can’t wait to visit again! The pictures do not do this place justice!!

- Michelle, August 2019
Robert July 2019

Alan July 2019

“Helpful and firendly owners; cottage clean; good views and good wi-fi.”

Misleading description - freezer was top part of fridge; Wasing machine was use of owners washing machine Surrounded by single track roads in all directions; Dog had to be kept on lead outside of cottage

- Alan, July 2019

We are delighted that you appreciated both the cleanliness of the property and the friendliness of the owners. We have amended the web description to read 'fridge-freezer'. There are also additional freezing facilities in the adjacent scullery. The tumble drier and washing machine are also in the adjacent scullery, shared with the other two cottages as indicated on the web description.The roads in the area are typical of Devon roads, and include a number of single track sections. Dogs can be left off lead at owners discretion, but guests are made aware of the free ranging guinea fowl and ducks. There are also numerous fields and open spaces in the area where dogs may be walked. Property Owner

Peter January 2019

“30st Jan untill 4th Febr from The Netherlands It was fantastic, beautiful weather with snow and the place is cozy.”

We arrived in the evening tired from traveling all day, but the warm welcome with the eggs, home made chocolate sponge cake and flowers was so nice. If you like orange marmalade try the home made one, it is delicious! We enjoyed the quietness. Sue and Simon thank you for sharing your beautiful place. Peter and Bianca

- Peter, January 2019
Josyanne December 2018

“The location and set up suited us as we have 2 dogs.”

It was easy to let them out, walk them and they were accepted in the yard without any problems. The layout inside was suitable as well having an area to clean them off inside the door. The proprietors were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere of the accommodation was very good.

Very rural setting on small farm. Lovely touch providing welcome pack of eggs, fresh milk,tea and bottle of wine. Locally very narrow 'typical Devon lanes' that provided good access to main roads. Well positioned for access to Lyme Bay towns and beaches. Several hostelries that provide good food are within easy reach by car.

The 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 with extensive views over surrounding farmland.

An acre of lawn (barbecue) 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, ¼-sized snooker table, darts, table football) which can be adapted into a big dining room for special occasions, by arrangement.

When booked together, the cottages accommodate 14 guests.

Ducks on the pond (fenced), 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, fridge, electric cooker) 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. Colyton: ancient little town on the River Coly with buildings dating from the Domesday Book, Norman church and unique, independently owned shops, pubs and restaurants.

Tramway to the coast at Seaton, 3 miles.

Pecorama railway attraction/gardens, 5 miles.

Honiton, 7 miles; Lyme Regis, 9.

On the East Devon Way footpath between Lyme Regis and Exmouth.
