About this property

Two-bedroom, pet friendly holiday cottage set in Fowey and within walking distance of the beach

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
