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.

We had a great holiday in this excellent property in a fantastic location. WiFi is reasonable given remote location, we got about 6 or 7mb download speed regularly. Mobile phone coverage was non existent on both Vodafone and O2 so the provided landline phone was useful for booking local restaurants etc. Dedicated parking is a bonus but the space is quite tight for manoeuvring in and out of if you have a larger car like we did (e.g. BMW 5 series / Audi A6 / Skoda Superb). Beware that the stairs in the property are quite steep and have a dog-leg turn in them so not great if you have mobility issues....
