The Old Shippon at Dunsdon Farm, is a beautifully restored stone barn situated in picturesque North Devon countryside, and close to the North Cornwall coast.
Dunsdon Farm is a 54 acre farm situated in open countryside adjoining the Dunsdon National Nature Reserve, designated as a SSSI, as a rare and protected culm grassland area.

The Old Shippon is set within its historic farm courtyard setting, (with its own private entrance and garden) some of the buildings dating from the Medieval period. The land surrounding has been farmed for many hundreds (possibly thousands) of years, and is recorded in the Doomsday Book.

The farm whilst being managed under conservation principals is grazed by our own fold of Highland Cows, horses and donkeys. We also have owl boxes (complete with cameras) situated in a nearby barn with a direct link to the television in The Old Shippon. We had two fledgling owls raised last year (2011).

For dogs, and their owners we provide a warm the welcome at The Old Shippon, with a dock pack on arrival, secure garden and 23 acres of young private woodland to walk your dog.

The property was restored in 2011 to a very high standard, and features solid oak staircase, doors and skirting and has been decorated with a contemporary feel, yet still retaining the charm of its historic agricultural past.

The Old Shippon has three good-sized bedrooms, sleeping six people, and a reverse layout with bright open-plan living space, all under-floor heated.
Your comfort is our main aim, so we have filled one of the finest holiday cottages in North Devon with books and games that can be enjoyed with a coffee in front of the wood burner in winter or on one of the two patios in the summer.
