Cornish Oasis

The Shippen is a superbly presented beautifully located hide-away. The peace and utter silence are sublime. If, like me, you are interested in wildlife its sheer heaven. We loved it and will recommend it to all my friends

Great birding spot

We've been looking for a great birding spot in the UK for over 15 years and are so glad we've finally found it.

Best UK break ever

The nicest getaway holiday cottage we have ever stayed in... this was the best short break we've had in the UK.

Absolute peace

If you're interested in wildlife or simply want absolute peace and quiet this is the place for you

Magical Hide-away

This is one of the most magical hide-aways. We had the Easter break of our dreams; so cosy, wild, easy-living, beautiful scenery and such a comfy bed. We're already plotting our return.

Lovely cottage in beautiful location

Very well equipped cottage in a stunning location. Great for wildlife watching and very peaceful. We loved watching and listening to the birds while having our breakfast.

Tranquil Refuge

Lovely hosts, cottage and setting. Perfect peace.

Fantastic wildlife

Wonderful few days here; we loved every minute! Fantastic watching the wildlife from our window. We'll definitely be back.

Hideaway

Wonderful hideaway in a gorgeous setting

Truly Enchanting

We have had a truly enchanting stay in this magical hide-away. Jack was thrilled to see the illusive kingfisher and we have thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the tranquil garden listening to nature. The shippen is spotless and comfortable.

Hidden Gem

Absolutely lovely, peaceful location and very well equipped cottage. We had a really pleasant stay at The Shippen surrounded by woodland and plentiful wildlife. A hidden Gem!
