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!

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.

A lovely comfortable cottage with stunning views and in an ideal location. We really enjoyed our stay at The Shippen and were lucky to be able to sit outside and enjoy those views and listen to the river bubbling down to the harbour even in early October. Ideally placed to walk to shops, pubs and restaurants in Boscastle and it was lovely to have the harbour on our doorstep. ...

Excellent cottage, perfect location and base for walks on the dramatic north Cornish coast. Very good value, only a few minutes from everywhere in Boscastle!

Thanks to Becky, everything was well-prepared! And thanks to the owners for a cosy place to spend our holidays. Everything we needed, we have found, as well in the house as in the surrounding.
