Mrs Hardingham
June 2021

“We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the accommodation.”

Seat cushions on the kitchen chairs were dirty and stained. The oven was dirty as were some of the oven trays. We felt we had to wash everything before being able to use them. My husband went round with my stick and a cloth to get rid of cobwebs. The photographs of the property were misleading making the place look bigger than it actually was. We were also plagued by gnats and were unable to open the doors and windows. Apart from that we had an enjoyable holiday.

Dear Mr & Mrs Hardingham, I wish to apologise, in writing, which I have done by phone also. It was such a shame your experience was spoilt by the fact I employed a cleaner for the first time prior to your visit. The job of cleaning was obviously not carried out properly and has now been rectified. So glad you enjoyed your holiday in Somerset in spite of this. You are welcome back to a very clean Shippen any time. Owner relations

“We are still raving about our week stay at the Shippen over a month later.”

The location was idyllic and the cottage was perfect. The bathtub was amazing and the beds very comfortable. The owners were quite helpful as well.

“Just to say we had a fantastic time.”

The cabin was everything we thought it would be; clean and tidy and within easy reach of all the places we wanted to go and we would definitely go back again. When we stepped in my jaw dropped, the décor is so lovely.

“The Shippen was located in a pretty village with a good pub.”

The accommodation still had a new feeling to it and was beautiful inside, as well as in a peaceful spot. This was perfect for a couple or family. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable week.

“What a wonderful lodge!”

Great location. So clean and well equipped. I could easily live here. Had everything we needed and was a comfort to come back to on an evening after a busy day. Love it. Would definitely come again. Thank you so much!

“This is the fourth year running that I have spent my summer holiday at The Shippen.”

It is located in a beautiful village called Merriott that is central to many attractions, towns and beaches. The Shippen is beautifully furnished and has a real home from home feel about it. I would highly recommend this property and I will certainly be booking a stay again in the future.

“We had a really lovely holiday at the Shippen, the cottage was lovely and clean and the garden was a quiet space to sit at the end of the day.”

The only thing missing was a freezer, we brought all our food with us so that we could limit shop visits, we had to throw some away because we couldn’t keep it frozen. Apart from that we loved our holiday
