Roger S. Oct 10, 2023 07:42:26 PM

Summary: Overall a very good holiday. Jon and Janice were excellent hosts with a cream tea to welcome us. Jon gave us an excellent tour of the reserve and seeing the badgers and fox with him in the evening was very special. We had a peaceful and relaxing time and going again next year. Would highly recommend.

Summary: Staying in this lovely bungalow with the river at the end of the garden was idyllic. You are surrounded by nature here. We had wonderful views of Kingfishers. We saw Spotted Flycatcher, Marsh Tit, a Barn Owl, and Swallows were nesting in an Outbuilding. So many other birds too!... there were Deer, Hedgehogs, Badgers, Bats, Foxes. There was a vast array of insect life too, with some beautiful damsel flies, dragonflies, butterflies, and moths, Recommend arranging the tour with Jon, he was great! We had so many peaceful walks and feel very relaxed - we both want to return!

Keith S. Apr 17, 2023 04:21:53 PM

Summary: Just the spot to get away from it all. Beautiful woodland with the river running through it, always with the chance of seeing something special. Thank you Jon and Janice for letting us share your wonderful space.

Summary: everything was great - the communiction beforehand was good, Jon made enquiries as to what wildlife we may be interested in so he could keep his eyes out for us in the weeks before our stay. When we arrived it was late, the keys were ready for us and The Shippen was a lovely home for our holiday - everything we needed, and a very welcome Devon cream tea waiting to welcome us. On our first day we had arrived with Jon for a tour of the reserve, this was perfect. Jon was great telling us about the history, the wildlife, the seasons and spotting birds as we walked for a happy 3 hours. This gave us a great show of the reserve, and we walked and walked the reserve in the days we were there. The birds came to the feeders in The Shippen garden in great numbers which was fantastic to watch, along with seeing them on the reserve too. There was a very cold snap during our stay and Jon kindly checked on us and made sure we knew of the -5 prediction (that did happen!) being able to communicate well made our holiday so enjoyable and we would totally recommend. We did look at trying to return in 2023, but see it is so very full already, a good sign that our visit was loved by so many as well. A great find and a wonderful oasis of wildlife.

Summary: Very peaceful lovely setting owner Jon very helpful.

Lisa S. Oct 12, 2022 07:48:20 PM

Summary: The Shippen is a perfectly-sized cottage for two in an idyllic, peaceful woodland setting. The cottage amenities were ideal for our needs and we only ventured out of the grounds on two occasions, the rest of the time choosing to stay on the reserve and enjoy all it had to offer. The owners, Jon and Janice, were perfect hosts – respectful of guest privacy but also on hand and keen to ensure you had everything you might need. We are so glad we arranged a tour with Jon on our first day – it was an interesting and informative introduction to the reserve which set us up nicely for the rest of our stay. There is so much to explore and take in; from sitting enjoying the lulling sounds of the river Carey, to walking the old railway line, investigating woodland or butterfly-spotting in the fragrant meadows. The abundance of wildlife we saw during our stay was incredible (and this review can't possibly do it justice). Highlights - from the back garden daily visits from a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Bullfinches, Goldfinches, Nuthatch, and Wrens. On the reserve itself we enjoyed multiple sightings of Roe deer, Kingfishers and Treecreepers, as well as a Tawny Owl, Brown Hare and hoglets! The evening spectacle of hundreds of bats leaving the owners’ house will stay with us for a long time. The reserve is a very special place, and we feel privileged to have had the opportunity to spend quality time there. You can truly unwind and lose yourself in the green oasis – where else could you experience a nature reserve to yourself? - it is the perfect antidote to the clamour and rush of modern life. We fully intend to return (and hopefully encounter the elusive otters next time) and would recommend without hesitation.

Mike W. Oct 10, 2022 10:59:06 PM

Summary: If you're interested in wildlife or simply want absolute peace and quiet - this is the place for you.

Danny D. Sep 5, 2022 03:02:03 PM

Summary: Wonderful hideaway in a gorgeous setting with excellent hosts who sensed that we were after a quiet holiday and so while offering options did not push them. Really nice people and let us stay a bit longer on check out day.
