The Shippon is available for holiday letting and sleeps five to seven guests in charming character holiday accommodation. It is located on a farm in the small village of Saughall massie, in the leisure peninsula of The Wirral and dates back over two hundred years.
Situated up a private farm road, The Shippon is ideally located for exploring the Wirral with beautiful coastal walks and stunning scenery. Guests can enjoy onsite fishing with a one acre well stocked lake which is just 300 yards from the cottage. The area is excellent for golf with the Royal Liverpool Open course at Hoylake.
The local village offers an excellent local pub/restaurant within walking distance and there is fine dining in nearby restaurants and hotels. This is an excellent base for daytrips to the roman town of Chester and Liverpool, voted the European Capital of Culture 2008.
Wirral is a peninsula of gardens, sandy beaches, stunning sunsets, parks and picturesque villages. Whether you enjoy sports, drama and music or simply prefer relaxing and enjoying a picnic in the park - there is something for everyone.
With such an abundance of culture and heritage, Wirral has many hidden treasures dating back from as early as the Stone age, just waiting to be explored. Why not experience for yourself the miles of windswept coastline and beautiful sandy beaches as you take in the traditions and beauty of the seaside. Wirral's unique, beautiful landscape is also one of its greatest assets and includes 1,500 hectares of public open space, 4 heathland and 20 woodland sites, 12 sites of special interest and 70 sites of biological significance, along with much more. Alternatively, you can take in the beautiful countryside whilst visiting one of Wirral's many pretty villages or towns, where you will find quaint shops, leafy lanes and some of the best pubs serving local ale and excellent food! For those seeking more energetic pursuits, there are so many choices from surfing or sailing, walking or cycling, swimming or riding - Wirral has plenty to keep you entertained, inspired and wanting to come back for more.
