PeterNLVery spacious and beautiful accommodation
We were welcomed with a delicious cake upon arrival and the accommodation is very spacious for two persons. It is a bit remote and quiet, but for us it was perfect to explore Dartmoor.

Does The Old Shippen, Drewsteignton have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Old Shippen, Drewsteignton have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at The Old Shippen, Drewsteignton?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
