• "We stayed at the Shippon 2 years ago and were so happy with the accommodation and the area that we booked in again."

  It's a great base to explore the coast and mountains of north Wales and to come back and light the log burner at the end of a cold day and have a hot bath was perfect. Our dogs loved it too. We will return in the future. Thanks Andrew and Sarah.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at The Shipton."

  It was perfect. Eddy and Barney had fun too ..our two dogs had lots of free time in the big field . The Barn was warm and welcoming, very clean and homey. Such a beautiful and peaceful place. We couldn't recommend it highly enough. Thank you for the generous log basket. Only one tiny thing to say ..the rugs side of the bed are very slippy. Just a tiny comment. We came away rested and relaxed. Thank you.

• "The Shippon provided some much-needed peace and quiet in its remote location, whilst only being a couple of miles away from Conwy."

  Clean, full of character and sympathetically furnished (with luxurious bed and bedding!), the living area was well laid out and felt more spacious than we expected from the photos. The log burner gave us warmth and made for some cosy evenings. The cottage was ideally situated to explore the area. We would love to return and would recommend to others.

  The cottage is well positioned to explore North Wales, Anglesey and Snowdonia. Whilst feeling remote it is close to shops and restaurants. The cottage itself is lovely and very comfortable, for taller people beware of the low ceilings but at 6ft I found I managed fine.

• "Although the mattress was old ."

  ..it was very comfortable.. the mattress protector was slightly stained looked like an old urine stain The kitchen was very well stocked and functional but the large frying pan was unusable ...for health and safety needs to be replaced Otherwise a beautiful barn conversion in a beautiful place

  Hi George and Peter, Thanks for your comments. The frying handle had a loose screw, so apologies that it wasn't spotted. As for the stain, it appeared to be a small yellowish mark and hadn't penetrated the mattress topper. we regularly launder the mattress topper, so again this had not been spotted by our cleaner. Thanks for the feedback, and your otherwise favourable comments. Property Owner

  Weather was amazing and there were a pair of garden loungers to use. The shippon is in a brilliant location and was extremely well equipped. The only downside for us was the tricky stairs up to the mezzanine bedroom which if you have mobility issues of any sort are not suitable. Every thing else was superb with excellent hosts. Peace and Tranquility this is the place to be.

• "We had an absolutely brilliant time at the Shippon."

  This charming little cottage was very well equipped and felt remote whilst also having easy access to the local area. The Shippon proved to be a great base for day trips to Snowdonia and Anglesey, although it is well worth exploring the hills which are right on the doorstep of the Shippon! Our hosts Andrew and Sarah were very friendly and happy to give us information on the local area. We also brought two horses with us, and we couldn't have asked for better equestrian facilities! Stables with yard, tack room, paddock, all right outside the cottage! Andrew was even kind enough to lend us some equipment such as wheel barrows, buckets, spades etc to help look after the horses :) This beautiful location is really special and we will definitely be returning!

  Also the steps up to the bedroom are very steep, again j think this should have been highlighted.

• "We loved the accommodation."

  The owners were friendly and the location perfect. We were however informed that we had paid for 7 nights by the owners who wondered why we were only staying until Tuesday. We thought we had paid for 3 nights, selecting 3 in the menu. I am dissapointed to know that Sykes charged us for the full week when it clearly stated we were to check out after 3. There should be a lower price surely for less nights and we were under the impression that this would be the case. If not it should clearly state it. The owners kindly offered us the Shippon for the full week but we had not packed for this etc. but did stay an extra night. Therefore we feel that we are out of pocket for 3 nights that we did not know we had bought.

• "When we arrived at the start of February, during one of the colder spells of the winter, we found the cottage to be very cold due to the fact that the previous rental had been 5 weeks earlier over Christmas."

  The building itself is an old building with very thick walls so took a couple of days to warm up properly. The central heating itself was unfortunately not set quite right but the owners who were to hand immediately got this sorted and the logs and coal supplied certainly got the property warmed up during the second and subsequent days. The cottage ended up being a lovely a cosy place to spend time. The property was a great place to be, the owners incredibly helpful and the area a wonderful place to explore. Highly recommended.

There are plenty of places within easy reach to visit and a number of places providing excellent food. The cottage is comfortably furnished with everything you require for your stay. Just a comment - if you are very tall you have to watch your head against the beams. This is a perfect place for a quiet getaway.

  Superb location accessed along a small very narrow lane which can be challenging at times. The owners are very welcoming and are on hand to assist with any queries either regarding the cottage or the local area. Great area for walking, mountain biking, sight seeing and the beach. Dogs are very welcome with good walks from the door step. The cottage is well equipped, clean and comfortable. The bedroom is on a mezzanine floor accessed by a short flight of narrow and quite steep steps which could be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. All in all, a super cottage set in a tranquil area overlooking countryside.
