The patio overlooks the harbour.
After a day exploring this stunning part of the Cornish coastline, come back to The Shippen to unwind and relax.
You will never tire of looking at the view every time you step outside the front door.
The cottage has two charming bedrooms.
The open plan living-room will make for a sociable holiday.
The small kitchen has all that you need, but with so many choices of places to eat in Boscastle, why tie yourself to the stove- you are holiday after all!
The Shippen has a coal-effect electric fire - perfect for those out-of-season breaks.
The stairs lead up from the living-area.
Bedroom one has a super comfy double bed.
The single bedroom.
The setting really is very special.
The Shippen is the middle of the three cottages and has parking in front of the white garage. The parking is not suitable for SUVs, 4x4s or Estate cars.
The view down the river to the sea from the small stone bridge which you cross to access the property.
The view towards the harbour from the patio.
A view towards the village of Boscastle. The Shippen is tucked away on your right-hand side.

Enjoyed a brilliant week at an amazing place and location! Very special place for us as a family and was brilliant to see old friends and meet new people- our neighbours were excellent company and cannot wait to come back to the place!

This is our second stay at the Shippen. It’s in a great location and easy to walk into town and down to the harbour. We’ve had another lovely and relaxing stay.

We had a lovely time. The cottage is in an ideal position overlooking the Valency River, an easy walk along its banks to the harbour. Sit at the garden table and watch the world go by. There is plenty of access to walks and trips to local places from here. Also there are many interesting shops, places to eat and to look around in Boscastle itself, including the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. ...

If you enjoy the north coast of Cornwall and/or walking , this is ideal for two/three. The property is well equipped and close to amenities and good restaurants. Just be aware that you need to negotiate steps every time you leave or return to the property....

We see this cosy cottage as our 'home from home'. I have been booking it since 2009 and it is perfection. My husband and family adore coming here and always find it totally relaxing .....whatever the weather.
