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!

A clean, welcoming and cosy place to stay. The location is superb and the cottage is well-equipped. We had a wonderful week and would definitely come back again.

The Shippen cottages are spectacularly placed for a view of the natural harbour, the hills and the village of Boscastle. There are 20 stone steps that lead to the cottage. It is the only access. They are steep and can become slippery in the rain or even damp. I would recommend taking great care if you are elderly or have very young children. The handrail is sufficiently safe. When you get to the top, look around - you'll be delighted. The kitchen and bathroom equipment were excellent. I was impressed with my stay. It was wonderfully cosy. Everything was provided and easily accessible. The bedrooms were spotlessly clean. It was warm and most comfortable - the best night-sleep I've had in a long time. Excellent! A couple of points.... I phoned the Housekeeper to introduce myself. She was most pleasant and helpful. It would have been nice to have had a curtesy call to see if everything was alright during my week's stay. Clearly a great deal of effort had gone into making a visitor's stay a pleasant and relaxing one. I much appreciated that. I'm also impressed with the 'young lady' who helped me from Classic Cottages. Christian McCulloch...

Great location, handy parking outside, upstairs bathroom a bit cramped

A return visit to this compact cottage on the harbour. Spotlessly clean, and well equipped. Ideally suited for coastal walks. A short walk to pubs/restaurants in Boscastle. No need to use the car.
