The Shippon is situated on Cutthorne Farm between Wheddon Cross and Exford, set in a private valley deep in the heart of the Exmoor National Park. If you are looking for peace and quiet in the middle of some of the most beautiful countryside in England, then this is the place for you! The farm has 14th century origins and the property has been carefully converted into comfortable holiday accommodation from an original stone outbuilding; the name shippon means 'cow shed'. Stone steps lead up from the cobbled yard to the front door which take you directly into the open plan kitchen and sitting room. The vaulted ceiling shows off the original beams and give a spacious feel to the property. The large window looks out over the duck pond and across the farmland beyond. The hallway leads away from the other side of the sitting room to the bathroom which has shower over bath, toilet and hand basin, and the two bedrooms. One is a double bedroom with king-sized bed, and the other is a twin bedroom, therefore sleeping up to 4 guests. Stabling and grazing available so you could bring your horse on holiday to Exmoor with you. The Shippon is adjoined to The Ballroom, another holiday property, which also sleeps 4 guests. The Shippon kitchen is fitted with fridge (with freezer compartment), microwave, gas oven and hob. Other equipment includes toaster, kettle, a variety of kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockery and glasses. A television with Freeview, DVD player and DAB radio is provided and wireless broadband is available throughout the property. An iron, ironing board and hair dryer are also provided for your convenience. Electricity and heating costs are included in the price of your accommodation.
