Almost booked out. We recommend you book soon.
Set in the Cheshire countryside in Picton, not far from the homely suburb of Upton-by-Chester is this delightful ground-floor cottage, The Shippon.
Set between its neighbours on either side, it is a perfect spot for a country getaway with your loved ones and friends.
Begin by coming into the social hub of the property, the open-plan living space, head left and sink into the corner sofa before the Smart TV, a great spot to wind down in at the end of the day. Move across to the kitchen where you'll be preparing picnics for walks out in nearby nature, or cooking an evening meal for the group to be served up on the wooden dining table.
Use this space for gathering round to plan the rest of your trip, or spread out with a board game.
To either side of the living space are the two super-king-size bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite bathrooms and zip/link beds, so you can request for them to be twin rooms instead, great for accommodating different party setups.
Expect to find exposed brick walls and wooden ceiling beams throughout, as well as bespoke features like the rope light fitting feature.
Relax out in the hot tub in the front enclosed courtyard, it can't get better that this! Take your time to meander through the surroundings and see if you can spot some special visitors, the owner of The Shippon has published a Children’s bedtime storybook called Fudge’s Evening Adventure, the idea from this story came after the Owners Daughter was treated at Alder Hey Childrens Hospital.
The tale follows Fudge, a miniature dachshund, as she embarks on a quest to find a cozy place to rest her head for the night.
Along the way, she encounters various animal friends on and around the family farm.
A beautiful wooden sculpture trail to accompany the story can be enjoyed by guests, all proceeds from the book will go to Alder Hey Children's Charity, to thank them for their wonderful service, the book is able to be purchased directly from the owner, and so far over £13000 has been raised for this amazing charity.
To add to the wonder there is also a carved animal bug hunt, and guests can watch the wildlife in comfort as wildlife cameras have been set up and can be viewed live in the property.
The animal adventures don’t stop there, as guests will have the opportunity to meet the animals that live onsite, and with ample space and areas for children to play The Shippon really is a great choice for animal lovers and families alike.
Enjoy the surrounding countryside for walks, or take a trip into the Roman city of Chester for some sightseeing.
Note: This property is part of a group and can be booked with Refs. 974556, 974561, and 1051836, together sleeping 12 guests.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at the Shippon and wished it could of been more. Sara and Oscar are lovely genuine people who make you feel very welcome. The cottage is gorgeous I loved the interior design and the views (especially from the hot tub) were fantastic. I will never forget those. If you are thinking of going don't hesitate you will love it.

Booked for a short break with my grandson. The cottage was immaculate, well equipped with gorgeous views and a pond complete with carp. A very informative welcome pack was much appreciated. The owner was helpful and friendly. This was an ideal location for exploring all the delights Cornwall has to offer. A cream tea waiting on arrival was a lovely touch. Will definitely visit again
Fabulous away from it all break away.

Had a brilliant week's stay here. Peace and Tranquility. No noise just sheep birds and cows. Beautifully remote. Very well equipped cottage and a welcoming host.
