I enjoyed a lovely stay at Wheel Farm Cottages. The Cottage itself was very comfortable and in an idyllic setting with plenty of space to roam around outside. The swimming pool was brilliant, and shallow enough at one end for my 5 year old to stand up, which made things a lot more relaxing for me! The location of the cottages is really good - it is within a very short drive of several villages, towns and beautiful beaches. We enjoyed days out to Combe Dinosaur and Wildlife Park, Woolacombe beach, Combe Martin beach, Ilfracombe (where we went on a boat trip to see seals) and Clovelly, and none of these require much time in the car. I would definitely recommend staying here.



We had a brilliant week away. The owners were really mindful of Covid 19 and we felt really safe.

Although The Shippen is not the largest of holiday cottages, it was perfectly comfortable for our needs and great value for money. It was quiet and private, and there is plenty of space in the grounds for social distancing from other families. The booking system to allow social distancing in the pool was fair, and we loved being able to have the whole pool to ourselves.



We absolutely loved our hoilday staying at the Shippen, very clean and cosy.

We will definitely visit again, the Shippen ticked all the boxes. Loved the swimming pool, specifically because it was very clean and the location was fabulous. Thank you

Thank you so much for having us the Shippen cottage. A really enjoyable and relaxing holiday was had by all. Nero (the old Staffie) spent most of the time relaxing by the front door of the cottage and we were and we made good use of your indoor swimming pool on the couple of rainy days that we had. Our toddler was particularly delighted to find so many toys to play with in the pool. The short drive to the supermarket in Ilfracombe made it easy for us to stock up on supplies. We will be back!

Location exceptional. Sandwiched between Woolacombe, somewhere we adore, and picturesque Combe Martin. We would recommend bike hire on the Tarka Trail in Barnstaple and Sea Kayaking in Combe Martin. A walk along Woolacombe Beach to the lovely wee restaurant at Putsburgh Sands is well worth it as is a walk round Morte Point. Food wise, The Red Barn in Woolacombe is brilliant. Because we were out and about so much we didn't spend that much time in our accommodation. However, we were impressed by the cleanliness of The Shippin, the friendlieness of the staff and the excellent leisure facilities. All in, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would highly recommend this place

Alli and Richard were so lovely and helpful from the minute we arrived (we also really enjoyed the double yolker eggs from Richard!) Shippen was a lovely cottage with everything that we needed. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent location for the beaches and towns around and the swimming pool was fantastic as the weather wasn’t too brilliant. We had our Sainsbury’s shop delivered to the door which was so easy and so helpful to have washing facilities available (especially travelling with a 4 year old and baby!) definitely recommend Wheel Farm as a place to stay! Would love to come back!

I stayed here with a friend whilst we were attending a Parchment Craft Weekend about a mile away at Perfect Parchment.
We were very happy with the facilities, everything in the cupboards in the kitchen was new, they even left us a pint of milk, four duck eggs and some butter!
The bedrooms were lovely, the two small single ones were a little small, and didn’t have any wardrobe space but hanging brackets with hangers were on the back if the door, The bathroom immaculate...
The are extension leads attached to the lamps in the bedrooms and one near the television downstairs.
It’s a very comfortable and quiet place to spend a few days or a holiday, only about ten minutes to the sea and there is a large Tesco quite near.
I would stay there again, and would recommend it if you want some space to yourself, with some lovely walks.



Excellent holiday.
