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.

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.

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.

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.
