“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.

- Brian, November 2024
Diane October 2024

“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.

Gordon October 2024

“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.

- Gordon, October 2024

“Having just spent a week at the shippon I would recommend it as it was a really relaxing place to stay .”

The property was beautiful, really clean and comfortable. Sarah and Andrew are nice, helpful people and if you needed any advice they were there to help you . Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay and having Duggie come to see us most mornings for a biscuit was a bonus .

Joseph March 2024

“This was our first stay at The Shippon and I hope to return.”

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.

- Joseph, March 2024

Hi Joe, Thanks for your feedback, and we hope to see you again soon, Andrew & Sarah Property Owner

“We had a wonderful stay at the shippon.”

George September 2023

“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

- George, September 2023

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
Sarah July 2023

“Andrew and Sarah were wonderful and generous hosts.”

The cottage was great though we did bump our heads a good few times!! The garden was lovely - shared with sheep at times. Woodburner worked well - needed sometimes because of the mixed weather.

The cottage is comfortable & well equipped. The surrounding are breathtaking - Andrew & Sarah(andDougieDog)are wonderful hosts. We had a wonderful well needed break & only wish we had stayed longer.

Julie May 2023

“Had a brilliant week's stay at the Shippon.”

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.

The cottage is lovely and very cosy with excellent facilities, everything that you need for your stay. The location is perfect for outdoor activities, and the host was really helpful on giving us some tips for local walks and visits. Everything was very clean and well organised. Our holiday at the Shippon was just perfect and I cannot recommend this cottage and excellent hosts enough. We really hope to come back in the future.

- Irene, October 2021
Yvonne October 2021

“We spent 7 wonderful days at the cottage, the remote location provided peace and tranquillity, yet close enough to Conwy castle, harbour, marine, town and Morfa beach for days out.”

The cottage it’s self is cozy, log burner and fabulous bath to soak in by candle light. High recommend a stay at the cottage.

- Yvonne, October 2021
Christopher October 2021

“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!

- Christopher, October 2021

- Kevin, July 2021
Rob May 2021

Alan September 2020

“The Shippon was brilliant, in a beautiful setting and within easy reach of any amenities we required.”

The evenings were special with the woodburner lite and the lights turned down and just music playing. It had all you needed to stay very comfortable in all types of weather conditions, the sheep in the garden each morning was an extra bonus, in just watching them going about there morning breakfast. Excellent position for touring around North Wales, would go back any time.

- Alan, September 2020

Monique December 2019

“Lovely Christmas break at this tranquil cottage.”

Conwy is 5 mins away and a beautiful village. The cottage was lovely and warm on arrival and even had a bottle of white from their vines. Hosts were lovely and even met Dougie the dog. Cottage is very well equipped and the bed was so comfy. Roaring fire each night and just a lovely location. Perfect chilled place!

- Monique, December 2019
Carl June 2019

“Beautiful location, great hosts.”

No problems in recommending this property.

- Carl, June 2019
Vaughan June 2019

“The cottage is quaint, quirky, cute, cosy and nicely isolated but only 2.”

3 miles from Conwyn, Andrew (the owner) was very helpful. It is an ideal location for dogs. I felt a picture of the stairs to the bedroom should be included in the description. They are a challenge.

- Vaughan, June 2019
Christine March 2019

“The WiFi was very poor, I accept that this is probably due to the rural nature of the area but feel that it would have been better not advertised.”

Also the steps up to the bedroom are very steep, again j think this should have been highlighted. If we had realised this we wouldn’t have booked it, even tho we enjoyed our stay The owner was very pleasant and helpful, it is ideal for a romantic hideaway for young couples but not for creaking pensioners like us

- Christine, March 2019
Jude February 2019

“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.

- Jude, February 2019
Deborah February 2019

“Lovely cottage will definitely recommend.”

- Deborah, February 2019
Anthony February 2019

“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.

- Anthony, February 2019
Pauline November 2018

Very spacious even though it looked smaller on the outside. Everything you would need was included in the Shippon.

- Dave, September 2018
Kevin August 2018

“We had a wonderful holiday at the Shippon.”

We were made very welcome as were our dogs. It is in a beautiful secluded place surrounded by hills but within 5/10 minutes of Conwy. 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.

- Kevin, August 2018
Carol July 2018

“I felt that it should be made clear about the staircase, it's not suitable for anyone with a disability I myself had some difficulties getting up and down.”

- Carol, July 2018
Karen July 2018

“The Shippon is a small cosy cottage full of character.”

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.

- Karen, July 2018
Lyn July 2018

“The peace and quiet and wonderful hosts a fabulous time if you require peace and ...”

The peace and quiet and wonderful hosts a fabulous time if you require peace and quiet to chill kick back and enjoy a glass of wine or 2 I highly recommend The Shippon Or chill on the quay in Conway with a Mr Whippy and explore all the great town has to offer or just a walk in the countryside fill your lungs with clean air and soak up the breathtaking views available , what more could you ask for go on just book into the Shippon

- Stephenie, May 2018
Nicholas May 2018

“The owners Andrew and Sarhra were nice and very polite, we had a lovely quite and relaxing time at the cottage with our dogs.”

The only downside was the steepness of the stairs to the bed area( not shown in any pictures). However, this did not stop us from enjoying the holiday in this quant cottage, the bathroom was spotless as was the kitchen and the rest of the rooms. A perfect time was had by all. Thanks you!

- Nicholas, May 2018
Clair April 2018

“I couldn't recommend The Shippon more highly.”

We had such a relaxing time with no noise except for the bleating of the lambs! Andrew was a really generous host and we loved the use of the woodshed for the firepit and the woodburner! Great location for exploring the beautiful countryside and we had terrific fun at Surf Snowdonia, Anglesey equestrian centre and Conwy golf club. We also enjoyed our visits from Dougie the dog!!

- Clair, April 2018
Simon March 2018

“Had a lovely break at the Shippon.”

Beautiful, peaceful location. It was bitterly cold on the first night with snow overnight. We used a lot of logs on the stove and got the cottage nice and cosy. Forty five minute walk into Conwy and close to Bodnant gardens and Llandudno. Sarah was very helpful and quick to respond to sort a couple of things out.

The views of the surrounding area are beautiful. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and suggested some fantastic walks in the local area which could keep you busy all week aside of the more popular attractions! When we return to the area we will definitely stay at The Shippon again, it had everything we needed and was well equipped and clean.

About the location

CONWY

Llandudno 5 miles; Betws-y-Coed 16 miles.

Conwy, a World Heritage Site, is without doubt world famous for its historical and architectural heritage, yet at the heart of the town lies a hub of bustling activity. Alongside its ancient festivals and fairs, musical recitals, galleries and historical attractions, there is an array of specialist shops, restaurants and hotels. Built for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287, Master James of St George's design, Conwy Castle remains one of the most outstanding achievements of medieval military architecture. The distinctive, elongated shape, with its two barbicans, eight massive towers and a great bow-shaped hall was perhaps determined by the narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle stands. The town is proud of its historic traditions and celebrates its past by retaining many of these in its annual festivals, events and fairs, including the Honey fair, Seed fair and Gwledd Conwy Feast in October, along with other musical events throughout the year. Conwy is the perfect base for exploring the dramatic Snowdonia National Park, walking unspoilt sandy beaches, or taking in the wonderful scenery on your doorstep. Also within reach are the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which has the longest zip wire in Europe, and Surf Snowdonia is just six miles away.
