Two-bedroom, pet friendly holiday cottage set in Fowey and within walking distance of the beach
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Fowey, this lovely cottage for $247 per night is a great option for your next vacation. 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 stayed for a week over Xmas with our dog. The cottage is in a good location, at the top of the village and just a short walk downhill through the woods to Readymoney Cove beach, which is great for dogs and a similar distance to Foweys restaurants and shops. The cottage facilities were good and had everything we needed to cook Xmas dinner! A very social space with open plan kitchen and lounge. The cottage had also been decorated for Xmas which was lovely and the owners had left us some wine and chocolates! Outside was a secure garden for our dog, both gravel and grass. We had a lovely weeks stay and would recommend this cottage for couples with dogs.

The Shippen is a tucked away little gem. You have everything you need and the setting is quiet with views across fields from most windows. We have been twice ad enjoyed our stay. The standard of cleanliness is exceptional, and any blip is immediately sorted.
4.0
compact, comfortable, well equipped cottage, perfect for a family and 1 couple but difficult for 2 couples as the bedrooms are connected and the second one does not have a separate access. Great for small dogs as all property completely enclosed but garden too small for bigger dogs. Photo misleading as next to cottage on the left adjoining properties.

Fabulous little cottage in an ideal location. We would definitely return. Very secure outdoor area for the dogs, lovely little sun trap too.

The Shippen is in a fantastic location, within easy walking distance to Fowey and the beach at Ready Money Cove. It's a super sweet little cottage, with a lovely outside dining space and a small playground. The kitchen and living space were cosy, clean, and well appointed.
However none of this mattered when confronted with the disgusting carpets and rugs in the bedrooms and the thin worn towels and bedding. The carpet was greasy, worn flat, and absolutely filthy (I'm talking black stains) and needs replacing. The rugs by the bed were the same, flat, stained and horrible. The bedding was so thin and worn, it felt ancient.
I can't believe no-one as mentioned it! It was such a shame and a real disappointment when the rest of cottage was so well kept and clean, but it really put me off and made the bedroom feel really unpleasant to sleep in.

Cozy little cottage with nice field view. Big enough for a family of four. Fowey is beautiful, lovely pubs just 1.5m away at Polkerries beach. We enjoyed our week.

All amenities for a relaxing holiday just a short walk away albeit up hill and down dale. Will return.

The cottage was really cosy and had everything you needed, with a great parking place and within walking distance of Fowey. There was an occasional dog hair, but otherwise could not fault the cleanliness.
The Christmas decorations were a lovely surprise and added to the cosiness. It’s the first cottage I’ve been to though, that had no form of welcome pack.

The Shippen is a lovely cottage and has a nice walk down to Moneyready Beach and cafe. Our only complaint is more loo rolls and the pillows were a bit hard for my wife. We would use it again but next time bring our own pillows.

Compact and bijou with everything you need!
A super holiday rental which has the added bonus of allowing your doggy companion to accompany you. The Shippen is excellently located - the centre of Fowey can be reached following a quick 10 minute roadside downhill walk, or an alternative 15-20 minute walk along the tree-lined scenic coastal/Esplanade walk. The cottage has everything you need to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible and is tastefully decorated. The outside area features sturdy garden furniture, so that you may sit and enjoy the surrounding countryside views. We would definitely recommend this property to our family and friends.

A place to stay in Fowey
We had a very comfortable week at The Shippen and would book again. There were some blips but they were sorted immediately and with apologies. The owner and the housekeeping lady could not have treated us better. Covid did not make it easy with late taking over of The Shippen and early leaving, but that had to be. We spent a good bit of time in The Shippen and were very comfortable. We tried to leave it in good order as it had been left very clean and tidy for us. We used the main bedroom only though there was another room with two single beds in which was accessed through the main bedroom and up some steps. That could be a problem for some people. We would have liked a lidded roasting tin, more glass lidded bowls to use in the microwave, and some table mats to be available.

A relaxing week away
A very comfortable and quiet cottage. Clean, well maintained and equipped with everything you might need.
Only a 10 minute walk into town or down to Readymoney Cove. Beautiful walks to be had along the coast path and the Saints Way.
An ideal bolt hole for a relaxing break, would definitely go back.

Home from Home- Warm and Welcoming in an ideal location for the Beach , Walks and Town
We have stayed at Lawhyre Cottages over the last 20 years- the Cottages are comfortable and warm and we enjoy our walks through the woods or fields to the Cove and Beach and then our stroll into the Town. The Shippen was very clean, lovely condition and super setting/ we will be back.

Fantastic cottage to enjoy ones holiday in Cornwall
What a fantastic place to stay. Lovely outside area to enjoy eating outside. Enclosed so safe for kids and dogs. Also handy to watch your children in the play area. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Equipped with all you need.
We did have an issue with the television, but we were not on holiday to watch tellie. Walked to Fowey, and only 15 minutes away. So in a great location. Fowey is a lovely town with great scenery, restaurants and things to do. Don't miss out on a ice cream at the Game of Cones! Great beaches around the area, especially for dogs 5 min away. We had a lovely holiday. Thank you.

Our stay
When we walked in it was very inviting we were so pleased it felt so homely . It was very comfortable in the lounge and also the bed was very comfortable . Good location and very quiet . Would definitely go back . Only one little criticism found the back step a little bit awkward needs a step put there but other than that would highly recommend it .

Beautiful property providing comfortable accommodation. Perfect for walking our dog down to the beach each morning. Cutlery and crockery were adequate for preparing meals if not eating out. Tranquility was unfortunately spoilt by the sound of circular saw and nail gun from the nearby workshop on this occasion.

All good, would stay again
Who knew ‘shippen’ means cattle shed?! It was a lovely place to stay, just away enough from from the bustle of town . Easy stroll to readymoney beach and onto the coastal path, Fowey busy but great.

A very comfortable well located cottage
The Shippen was perfect for us. Well located with a path down to Readymoney Cove. Downhill to town and the Town Bus pulled in by the gate to bring us back. Lovely table outside for meals. Close to the playground for the children. Well equipped inside, including dishwasher. We would love to go back.

Cosy cottage
The cottage was just perfect for our holiday, it was well equipped and had everything we needed. It was very cosy and we felt at home straight away. Good outdoor space overlooking the fields, perfect for a morning coffee and an evening glass of wine. Also good enclosed space for the dogs

Cosy and attractive comfort in the heart of Cornwall, only a short taxi or bus ride from Par station
The Shippen is like a home from home, only better, as its only a short walk to the centre of Fowey and also, to Readymoney Cove and onwards on the wonderful coast path. The situation is private and peaceful, set back from the Pontevillion Road.

Christmas at the Shippen
From start to finish , we had great customer support with our booking to stay at the Shippen for Christmas , from Christmas trees to the cottage being absolutely immaculate . Nothing was too much trouble , the location was great and perfect for dog walking down to the cove through the woods . The cottage was well equipped and the only suggestion we have is perhaps a new cutlery set , a very minor thought .

Lovely cottage
Had a lovely stay at The Shippen. The cottage is cosy, well maintained and well equipped. The walk through the woods down to the beach was gorgeous and Fowey itself is everything you would expect from a Cornish seaside town - culture, local shops, great places to eat.

Great place
Our second year here and we both plus our Labrador, Pippa love this place. The weather this year was not so great and the cottage is well equipped with tv and DVD player and the lovely big sofa is very comfortable to curl up on to watch a film. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Sue, Kenny and Pippa

Wonderful Cosy Cottage
We recently stayed for a week with our dog. The cottage is all on one level and have a secure garden so we didn't have to worry about the dog getting out. Its positioned overlooking a small field and is lovely and quiet as no one passes by. Its about a 15 minute walk to the center of Fowey, you have a choice via the road or via St Catherine parade which is a beautiful walk.
The cottage was clean and had lots of extra bits and bobs to make your stay comfortable, we particularly liked the Alexa. We would suggest you bring a tin opener as we were missing one and our mushy peas didn't have a ring pull, but this was the only negative we could find.
Fowey has lots of lovely walks from your door step, ferry rides, restaurants, cafe's and pubs. We found everyone very friendly and would recommend the cottage and location.

Small but cosy cottage well placed for Fowey via a pleasant woodland walk. Well equipped. Second bedroom is accessed via first bedroom but has lots of character. Ideal for families.
