Property is in a superb location but is let down by the interior the, cottage needs an update it is a bit tired, the kitchen tiles are cracked and the shower is just a trickle, there is not enough water for a bath even when boosting the immersion heater, the shower curtain is not brilliant and there is a small amount of mould on the shower/bath tile wall, we had a great stay but property was a bit of a let down....

Thank you so much for your review of The Shippen! We are thrilled to read that you enjoyed Boscastle - it is a wonderful area to explore. The Shippen is one of our more traditional properties and we are sorry to read that there were areas that you found in need of an update. We of course have shared this with the owner to take into consideration for the future. We have also asked the housekeeper to investigate the shower wall and pressure.

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....
