Shippenrill was a great holiday home. We love Croyde and the surrounding beaches. The house was spacious and well equipped, with good furnishings. The garden space was lovely and secure for the dogs. We found the driveway needed care on access, as it is narrow, but we navigated it without problem with a large vehicle. Plenty of hot water, heating was good and we appreciated the welcome pack.

Multiple families

2 families with 3 kids each and grandparents stayed. Amazing property and location. The home is beautiful and spacious. Hot tub and garden thoroughly enjoyed. Croyde is a lovely little village with plenty of options on your doorstep to eat and drink. Croyde bay is within walking distance or a short drive. So many other great local places to visit whilst driving such as Putsborough beach (our favourite), Woolacombe, Mortehoe, Ilfracombe...the list goes on. Tesco 15 mins away in Braunton. Country lanes are a little tricky at times with traffic but we would definitely love to stay here again.

We had an amazing break for my mums 60th birthday.

We loved the quirky decor, the location was brilliant. The kitchen was filled with everything you need. The house was nice and clean. We loved the stream at the front of the house. We really enjoyed sitting near the stream drinking tea. We hired the hot tub. We are glad we did as it was well worth pay a little extra.

Shippenrill is a great accommodation with everything needed for a big family celebration.

We had a fabulous family Christmas get together. Worthwhile last minute deal. Rebecca was friendly and responsive and gave us a lovely Christmassy house welcome gifts! Thank you! The accommodation was well equipped and beautifully decorated. We all had a great time and the hot tub was a great addition.

Great for big groups

The house was spacious, clean and warm, with a large table that all 14 could fit round. Hot tub was great and warm for when we arrived. Rooms were all really comfortable. Really useful little hall night lights on sensors which ment no lights needed to be on at night. Great outside space for hanging wetsuits, perfect position for parking and walking to the pub.

Good size house.  Croyde beach walkable for children etc.  Putsborough beach a good walk up lane, which was very muddy, over to lovely dog friendly beach at Putsborough.  Good sized garden and hot tub.  Owner/housekeeper very helpful.

Amazing property and very well equipped. The outdoor space the layout was perfect for a large group. We loved the table tennis table and the hot tub.
Good quality mattresses and pillows meant a really comfortable sleep.
Lots of crockery and cutlery which was all really lovely and a meant we were not constantly washing up or using the dishwasher
We had 3 generations staying together and all loved it.

We had a wonderful family holiday at this property.

The team at Croyde Holidays gave thorough instructions about finding the house and checking in. We had also requested the hot tub and got clear instructions on it's usage. The property was tastefully decorated and kept very clean. The host team were responsive and helpful. Special shoutout to Rebecca (property manager) who answered all my queries quickly and also shared helpful recommendations. Definitely recommend this place to anyone travelling with family. We would be back here.

We had a fabulous stay at Shippenrill. Perfect location, Family and dog friendly and worked well for us as a group of friends coming from across the south of England for a new year's celebration.

The kitchen is also really well equipped. The large hot tub is great. The private enclosed garden is ideal for dogs and big enough for a good run around.

Tripadvisor 5 STAR Review - " Best rental in Croyde"

This was our third stay at Shippenrill, testimony to how brilliant it is. The house is super spacious, perfect for three families and unlike some rentals feels really homely, well cared for. The enclosed garden is a great size, and the hot tub as popular with the adults as it is with the kids. You can walk everywhere too which is what makes croyde such a great spot. 15-20 mins walk to several beaches and across the road from the pub. Dog friendly too. We'd highly recommend a stay here and look forward to our next trip.

Tripadvisor 5 STAR Review - " Perfection in Croyde"

Shippenrill was just perfect! It is in the best location within easy walking distance of the beach, shops and pubs. The house has enough parking for 4/5 vehicles; is brilliantly set out for families with fab facilities including the wonderful hot tub which we used every day! In the recent hot weather some of the bedrooms provided a welcome cool retreat as 4 were on the ground floor. We love Croyde itself; quiet clean beach (out of school holidays ); great walks; The Manor pub is a stones throw from Shippenrill and we had brilliant service with very welcoming staff. Rebecca and her team were really helpful in getting the house all ready for us and she was prompt in getting back to us if we contacted her. Would recommend this property to anyone, families and close groups, without any hesitations!

TRIPADVISOR REVIEW: Amazing Holiday Home For The Whole Family

For a holiday with a big group of you Shippenrill house was an amazing house that had everything that you could possibly want for a relaxing holiday. When you first walk in u already feel like your home from home. Everything in the house is decorated so lovely and pretty, a lot of love and hard work has gone into making it how it is. Everything was spotless and the kitchen had all the utensils you needed, the living room & kitchen area was so spacious and looked out onto the beautiful garden. The garden has a table tennis table and the amazing hot tub, i would definatley recommend to add on the hot tub for your stay it was such a nice treat whilst your away going in whenever you fancy. Even if you didnt want to do anything in the garden you could still keep an eye on whats going on outside from the living room which is perfect for familys. Being in the heart of croyde everything was in easy walking distance pubs and shops were litrally minutes away.. And to croyde beach it took us about 20 minutes. I will definatley be returning we had such a nice week and the house itself had a big part of making the stay amazingly fun.

TRIPADVISOR REVIEW: An amazing stay at Shippenrill - fantastic house and the hot tub is awesome!

The house is amazing. The location was brilliant. A pub was literally across the road (not noisy). The shops and more pubs were a 1 minute walk away and the beach was a 20min walk. The house is huge and beautifully decorated. So much room and very clean. It was clearly very well looked after. We paid the additional amount for the hot tub and it was so worth it. The hot tub was immaculately clean and actually hot, which sounds bizarre, but I have been in hot tubs where the temperatures never meet the required heat. This one certainly did and was a good size. We made use of the table tennis which is good fun too. For those of you who have dogs, the garden is very well secured so there are no concerns at all of dogs escaping! The house was lovely and warm and very peaceful (could not really hear road traffic or anything like that). All in all an amazing stay and would definitely go back!

TRIPADVISOR REVIEW: Large homely house with fantastic facilities, location and host... perfect!

My stay at Shippenrill overall surpassed my expectations. I'd definitely recommend this house to any large group of people looking for a comfortable week near a beach. I have not complaints to raise and here's a few of the main positives: Great location - The house is situated opposite a pub with good food and within walking distance of Croyde Beach and Putsborough Beach. Helpful and friendly owners - Very welcoming property owner who was easy to contact and happy to help. One evening, the owner came over at very short notice to fix a problem with the fuse box. Fantastic facilities - The house is very well furnished with a fully equipped kitchen. The hot tub and fire pit provide the perfect entertainment for the evenings and there's a roomy living room for the rainy days.
