We love this cute cottage and see it as a home from home. It is a privilege to stay here.

The Shippen, is the perfect location for a harbourside stay in the picturesque village of Boscastle. Nestled centrally, you can relax and take in the beautiful views of the harbour and headland from your own private terrace and watch the world go by. And if you're lucky you'll get to see one of Boscastle's stunning sunsets!...

This was our 3rd visit to this cottage, which feels like a home from home. We love everything about it: the location is wonderful, the cottage is cosy with a lovely, peaceful feel to it, and it is well-equipped and comfortable. Small but absolutely perfectly formed. Always sad to leave....

Thanks so much for reviewing The Shippen - it's always lovely to hear from our regular visitors such as yourself. Boscastle is a such a special place and having such a cosy cottage to return to at the end of a long day is the icing on the cake. I'm sure we'll be seeing you again soon!

We had a very enjoyable holiday at the Shippen. The location of the cottage is excellent, and it offers good views and it is situated near enough to enjoy the attractions of Boscastle Harbour within walking distance. We would certainly return, and it offers good facilities, and the advantage of being able to explore this part of North Cornwall from a very attractive location. The Wifi facilities are an added bonus....
