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.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The cottage includes amenities such as a kitchen and a fireplace.
  • The cottage offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and a fireplace
  • Onsite recreation includes a playground
  • Steps from Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Gribben Head
This cottage offers its guests a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Fowey cottage is smoke free.

Great getaway
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.

Wunderbar eingerichtetes Cottage! Sehr gute Lage.
Es hat an nichts gefehlt in dieser Unterkunft. Liebevoll und stimmig eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich direkt Zuhause. Optimal auch für Hund und Kind. Direkt am The Shippen befindet sich ein Spielplatz mit Schaukeln, Rutsche und einem Grillplatz. Und wenige Schritte weiter führt ein Gassi-Weg direkt zum Readymoney Cove. Mit dem Pkw ist alles in Cornwall gut erreichbar. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen!
