Sleeping six people across three bedrooms and welcoming three canine companions, it’s the ideal option for families or large groups of friends. Spend a happy day with your pups on Morecambe Beach, and in the evening, come home to the cottage’s garden to take a relaxing dip in the hot tub.

Park your cars at the on-site parking area and head towards this beautifully converted barn. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a bright and airy hallway dominated by a sweeping oak staircase and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows.

We had a fabulous time in a fabulous property. It was well located allowing us to go off in to Morecambe, Lancaster, Preston or Blackpool. The property had everything, we enjoyed watching Netflix in the hottub on the tele and chilling in the lounge when we came in. The owner very kindly posted valuable possessions which were left behind by the chilRead moredren. We have stayed in a number of top end holiday homes and this is up there. I sincerely recommend the property and I'm grateful to the owner. Hide

The property is beautiful and we were all delighted by it. We were attending for a 40th birthday, so it was lovely to be able to relax in one large area with plenty of room for dining together also. The kitchen was well equipped and the owner had left us some essentials plus some luxury food items, which is a really nice touch. The hot tub was wellRead more maintained and a lovely way to spend an early evening. Only downside was the vehicle chargers were not working when we were advised they would be. Hide

Excellent well equipped house. One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in. Steve was great and nothing was a bother. Hot tub was also one of the largest we've had. The welcome pack was a lovely touch as was the abundance of towels and towelling robes. Extremely clean and spacious. Main road is very busy to walk along but once you've cut off itRead more us okay. Would definitely stay here again. Hide

My husband and our dog stayed at the Old Shippon late September and chose property as we wanted somewhere we could still enjoy our holiday from if the weather got the better of us. It did not disappoint - very nicely decorated and immaculately clean, the attention to detail meant everything from breakfast to our evening meal and drinks was more enjRead moreoyable. The hot tub was used every day and a welcome treat after enjoying one of the local walks - it was a great base to explore. Highly recommend Hide
