About this cottage rental

The Shippen is a pretty, 2-bedroom, stone-built, holiday cottage sleeping up to four set in the tranquil historic town of Fowey in Cornwall.

The pet friendly cottage is one of a small cluster of barn conversions nestling in the heart of two and a half acres of Lawhyre landscaped gardens.

Completely surrounded by fields, yet only a short walk to Readymoney Beach, this secluded cottage offers a relaxed self-catering holiday location in one of Cornwall's prettiest coastal towns.

The Shippen is a detached single story Cornish barn sympathetically renovated into a cosy cottage. It has thick stone walls, exposed beams and central heating, providing a homely setting all year round.

The cottage is equipped to a high standard and boasts a large, bright open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, a bathroom and two bedrooms sleeping up to four. The bedrooms include a good sized double and a nice twin, which is accessed via the main bedroom.

Outside, the cottage has its own individual private garden with lawn, hedge and stone walls - offering a secluded and safe space for both children and dogs. The beautiful flower and shrub borders, gravel patio and garden furniture make an idyllic setting to enjoy the lovely views of the countryside.

The Shippen is set within well-maintained landscaped gardens, which are shared with the other onsite properties. There is also a large parking area available at the cottage.

The Shippen overlooks open fields at the head of a pretty wooded valley leading to the beach at Readymoney Cove, a gentle 10 minute stroll through trees and wild flowers.

Brochures, maps, guidebooks and information on the locality are provided in the cottage.

Up to two dogs are welcome at The Shippen to accompany you during your stay, please note the garden is not 100% secure so you won't be able to leave your dog unattended. There is an additional charge of £30 per dog per booking. Please notify us at time of booking. Payment must be received prior to arrival.

We had a wonderful stay at the Shippen - the location, just a short walk away from town and Readymoney Beach, was perfect for us and our kids aged 9 and 11. The house is well equipped and had everything we needed for the week. The only thing we hadn't expected was that access to the kids' bedroom is through the double, making for very little privacy for parents!

We enjoyed our holidays in this nice cottage, close to the beach and city, just a 20 minutes walk. Perfect for holidays with dogs with the little garden and green environment, but unfortunately dogs are only allowed after 18.00 p.m. on the beach. We can strongly recommend The Shippen, very good service and clean rooms, only the floor in the bedroom we propose to renew, it looks old and dirty.

Lovely cosy cottage with lovely decor and very well equipped.There was also a lovely private outside area. Felt so at home here and looked forward to coming home to it after a day walking in the lovely Corneall countryside. There are lots of local walks if you don't want to use the car and Fowey was only a 10 min walk away. Usually hankering to get home after a week but felt so relaxed here.

We were very comfortable and enjoyed the views from the property's garden. We appreciated the secure wifi which save us having to take out a VPN subscription. The only comment was we could not find the DVD player the website promised. Perhaps, despite the DVDs in the bookcase, it is no longer there. If so, the website needs updating.

The Shippen is a great dog friendly cottage, the garden was great, the location is perfect for walking down the lovely woodland path to the beach & Fowey. The only problem was my small Dachshunds could get under the broken gate/fence we managed to block it up with stones from the rest of the garden. One of the dogs also jumped over the wall as it’s quite low but we blocked that with garden chairs. Don’t let this put you off this great cottage.

Our second stay here and loved it. Everything you need. Very comfortable and homely. Nice private garden area with lovely views. Thirty minute walk down a woodland walk brings you down to Fowey and there are other walks to the coast nearby.

Cottage was perfect, just needed a tidy up in the outside seating area as over run with weeds made it look untidy.
