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 great week again at The Shippen I only have a small complaint.
We had to hoover the floor as quite a lot of dog hair when we arrived. I know that the cottage allows dogs but it's a bit off putting when it's on the sofa and floor on arrival. Annoying that the people who live in the wooden house opposite the patio, moved their campervan right up to the boundary.
Other than that perfect and would come again.

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.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
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.
