wonderful stay

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!

Delightful cottage in a great location

The Shippen exceeded all our expectations ,it was extremely comfortable very clean and tastefully decorated .The garden was South facing enjoying the sun most of the day,larger than expected with wonderful views over the countryside .Readymoney beach was just a 15min walk away and Fowey 20 mins .Will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone wishing to visit this part of the country.

Lovely 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.

Very nice and clean cottage

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.

Outdoor seating area

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

A little gem

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.

Perfect Stay

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.

cosy place in great location

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.

Beautiful Fowey

We had a fabulous week at The Shippen despite the very wet weather. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very well equipped if you are self catering. Due to the clever layout of the cottage there was plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 dogs. The walk down to Readymoney Cove for the dogs was great followed by a lovely stroll into the centre of Fowey. Lots of lovely places to eat and drink. Visited lots of places around Fowey, Cardinham Woods was a favourite with an amazing, dog friendly cafe. We would definitely return. Wood Family

Lovely cottage, amazing location

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.

Cosy, dog friendly cottage

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.

Satisfied, but missed the DVD player

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.

Excellent location, filthy carpet

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.

Lovely comfortable cottage Perfect location with dog

This was our 2nd consecutive year. As good as last, and although building work started in field adjacent it didn't spoil our stay and owner advised us in advance. Only 10 min walk down a footpath to Readymoney Cove (dogs allowed all year except 10-6pmJuy &Aug). Comfortable corner sofa and beds. Shower mixer good. Friendly neighbours.

Lovely holiday house

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.

House

There was a house being built next door, and they worked both Saturday and Sunday which was noisy. The hob was difficult to use as the knobs came off and you could not tell if you were turning the heat up or down. I could not boil a pan of pasta and then burnt the sauce as I thought I had turned it off but hadn't. Corners of the property were not very clean, with cobwebs. Would not go back.
