We booked this accommodation for 2 nights June 15 & 16, 2022  using points from TD for Expedia.  It was very difficult to find, signage is poor. When we arrived the owner "Ann" said we booked the double ensuite and it was £500 per night and she didn't know what points were or Expedia.  We did not stay there and had to find other accommodation and it was after 5pm at that time! The grounds are beautiful if you can get in, however, you have to ring at the gate to have "Ann" come out, when she hears the bell, there are 2 very large gates she has to open manually which appeared very difficult...Ann appears to be in her 90's.  When we entered the building it smelled very strongly of dogs, which she has 5 of.  I would not recommend this place and feel it should be removed from Expedia before anyone else books it!!

SHIPTON GRANGE HOUSE - STAY AWAY!

We stayed here for two nights and we’re very disappointed. I think the problems were caused by lack of staff mainly. There was confusion over our booking, our room was not ready on time, the shower was broken and the blocked drains caused a bad smell. Breakfast was disappointing and when we paid the balance of our reservation in cash there was no paper for a receipt.

Lovely location, shame about the service

Ann was so welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay.  We had a double room with a private bathroom just along the corridor.  Had known about this when booking and therefore packed dressing gowns.  Really lovely place.  Sadly didn't get to meet the dogs that live there though.   We met Katie in the morning, who helps run the  B&B, she was lovely too. 

Simply Charming

We stayed here this weekend just gone.  Ann and Katie were simply lovely and the house is beautiful.  We stayed in a double room with private bathroom just along the hallway.  Was aware of this so brought dressing gowns with us.  Ann has dogs, but I sadly didn't get to meet them.

A Beautiful House and a friendly welcome

Firstly let me start by saying I review honestly but all my reviews are my opinion and how I feel about that certain place.   

We booked a double room from 21st Sept 2021 to 23rd Sept 2021, this cost us £200.  We arrived at shipton Grange House and found it quite easily but that was due to reading the reviews about the green gate, which is the entrance.  The hosts do take ages to get to the gate but the chap had recently had surgery so we  understood.  

He showed us into the courtyard and the garden and building from the outside were lovely with beautiful gardens.  As we walked into the house we were hit with an extreme smell of dogs.  It was very overpowering and was really rather disgusting.  We were taken upstairs to the double room with private bathroom that we had booked.  I don't know how to describe it! 

Unless you saw this room with your own eyes you will never believe and know how horrendous this place is.
I took pictures but they really do not show how bad it is.  How hotels.com allow this property to be sold on their website is beyond me. The headboard was heavily  stained where people rest their heads,  Mouldy blinds, mouldy window frames, brown stained and filthy duvet inside the duvet cover, filthy carpets with black stains, something that looked like blood, hair , dead flies and goodness knows what else.  We were asked what time we wanted breakfast and that we'd be joined by the dogs while we ate our breakfast, ermmm, what? We politely declined breakfast and we were then left in our room.  It was at that point we decided to leave.  

We jumped in the car left the key through the letter box and sped off to find somewhere else.  So you cant check in before 5pm, not sure why so late when we were the only guests (I can understand why)  check in between 5 and 9.  Told to leave the car on the pavement outside the gates for convenience, fair enough.  

If you're booked into this guest house, cancel and go somewhere else.  I am writing this review from a wonderful, clean and comfortable hotel which we have has ro pay another £200 for. This is, as for many our first break away for the last 2 years, my husband is military and I'm a key worker so this is a much needed 2 night away break.  

Shipton Grange House should be removed from every website as it is very run down, dirty and I've never seen anything like it.  Hotels.com should be ashamed.

Please please read reviews on Google where many reviews say turn around and don't go, i wish we'd listened.

I have no words! Checked in and checked straight back out again!

We stayed here one night and were the only guests so it was very quiet. The room was cozy and comfortable beds. View from room was the owner’s  gorgeous garden. What you must know is that upon arrival, you will pull up to a green wall/gate and then you need to ring the bell and then Anne will open the gate for you to drive your car into the private car park. It’s hard to find if you don’t know what you’re looking for. I recommend Google mapping it first. Anne made us a lovely eggs on toast breakfast. There are a couple of pubs within walking distance.

Charming

I went and stayed here with my wife recently. Really really lovely place. All clean and tidy. Lovely views surrounding. Would go back straight away. Very affordable too! 

We are definitely looking at re-booking before Christmas if there is any availability!

Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice break away.

Brilliant place to stay

lovely location, very welcoming and was extremely pleasant.Anne was a lovely host and couldnt do enough for you, breakfast was also brilliant. The walled garden was idyllic and green. Overall very lovely stay. Ta x

Memorising

The House, gardens and hostess were full of charm. My wife and I enjoyed the gardens and the characterful house. The room we had was cosy and the bed was very comfortable. (I suffer from a bad back at times but it was fine).

Full of charm

Not the easiest place to find in the dark.  Room was nice,  but furnished with artifacts of an age . But comfy. 
Garden was lovely,  and accessing parking area in garden was through a gate in the walled surround . Difficult to negotiate. 
1st thing that hits you when entering the house is the smell of dogs, 
1 table in kitchen area for a possible 6 guests ,(Only the 2 of us) . Thankfully. 
Breakfast is not a full English. Cereal and toast are the only things on offer , 
Although the proprietor was very pleasant, Anne , she is of an age where she definitely needs help,  too much for her. 
Bedroom was not ensuite. Bathroom was next door to bedroom. 
Heating was not working, allegedly, although we had hot water.
