"Just a 5 star experience from start to finish Perfect hosts lovely kind people who just want you to enjoy your holiday without being at all intrusive."
Very quiet spotlessly clean everything you could wish for and extra touches. Plenty to explore in local area. Car can be parked at the door on a beautiful enclosed drive. Dogs totally welcome and safe. Felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. Veronica and Dave will be fully booked with people returning read all the comments and book soon! I don t normally leave reviews but truly could have stayed alot longer than a week.

"Best cottage we have had, our 32nd and goes to number 1."
We were met by the friendliest couple Dave and Veronica who went out of their way to make sure everything was in order, with cream tea, and lots of goodies, even our dog was treated with all sorts. All the extra touches flowers in every room, we were made to feel at home straight away. Very private and safe for our dog. Highly recommend this cottage. You will not be disappointed. Thank you both for making us welcome without being intrusive.. Thanks to Veronica for my gluten free goodies, they were delicious. Margaret, Celia and Tilly x
It was lovely to meet you both & of course Tilly. Thank you for your very kind review and we would be delighted to welcome you back here again anytime.

"Wow wow wow."
I set myself a challenge at the beginning of the week to find something negative about the cottage. I failed.
Cream tea awaited us on arrival, along with milk, apple juice and Prosecco.
It is so dog friendly , with dog bowls and towels and little bags of dog treats tied up with ribbon. The courtyard is safe and secure.
The cottage is spacious, but warm and cosy. The decor and furniture are lovely.
It was so well equipped, there was nothing that hadn’t been thought of.
David and Veronica were on hand if needed, a really friendly couple.
The location is brilliant, narrow lanes as expected but so many beaches and coves to explore. Gooseham itself is a pretty little hamlet.
I can’t wait to go again.
We are so pleased you had a lovely time at The Shippen and thank you for your very kind feedback. We would be delighted to welcome you and your lovely doggies back here again.

"By far the nicest holiday cottage we have ever stayed in."
❤️
The owners were very welcoming and the cottage had everything you could possibly need. The cream tea, bottle of Prosecco and little extras were so generous.
Felt at home the second we arrived.
Enclosed courtyard was a bonus as so often they are not..and with two terriers if they can find a way out they would! A gem of a cottage..we will definitely be booking again!

Including lovely generous gifts for us and also for Erik our springer spaniel. The accommodation is beautiful, clean and so cosy. A home from home.

"Exceptional property with really exceptional hosts."
The shippen truly is a wonderful property with absolutely ALL the comforts of home. Fully equipped kitchen , very comfortable lounge furniture with freesat TV, as well as Netflix, large bathroom & large bedrooms with a four poster bed which is so comfortable we wanted to take it home.
Outside, there is very comfortable patio furniture in a secluded private area sheltered from the wind, with seasonal salad crops & herbs to help yourself to.
On arrival we were warmly greeted by the proud owners David & Veronica. For them, running a guest/holiday home is a recent adventure & they have worked very hard to make your holiday stay in the Shippen as comfortable as possible with great success.
There were some wonderful treats waiting for us , a lovely cream tea, biscuits, milk as well as a bottle of wine, even had doggy treats for Dexter our mad springer spaniel.
Our week here went so fast we tried to book the following week to stay a little longer but alas some other fortunate guests had already booked it.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & we will most definitely be coming back here again.
We are so pleased you had a lovely time at The Shippen and thank you for your very kind feedback. We would be delighted to welcome you both back here again and of course Dexter.

"We were met with a very friendly warm welcome a home made cream tea and other goodies in the fridge."
The cottage was spotless and set in lovely quiet location. Small things extra such as a gas pizza oven outside with a garden you could pick veg from, log burner if there when it nips at night but there is also under floor heating throughout, courtesy toiletries and fresh flowers in the rooms. The courtyard parks two medium cars and could be enclosed to allow easy access for your dog to come and go, local store had a cafe and an array of essentials. The walks close by are stunning along the cliffs, can even end one at a tea rooms which is only 8min drive from the cottage. Throughly recommended booking this cottage.

"Fabulous Accommodation with everything needed to enjoy your holiday."
The little extra touches & welcome package was the best I’ve had in any accommodation we’ve stayed in the the past, even our dog had a welcome package. Everything was supplied inc tea towels, toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, doggie bowls, even left us with milk, orange juice & a cram tea, we didn’t need to take anything really other than ourselves & clothes. Very quiet area & quite rural, our hosts were lovely, very helpful but not at all intrusive & gave us the use of the backyard kitchen garden which we made use of. Would definitely recommend to friends & family. 10/10

"As a result of health issues this was the first time we had been away for nearly three years, it was essential that we were comfortable and completely at ease."
The property and the owners did not let us down, we felt safe and at home the whole week. The owners could not do enough to ensure we enjoyed an accessible and care free week. The area is peaceful and ideal for touring the north of Cornwall.
We were very lucky with the weather and would not hesitate to go back,

"A lovely, spotless and extremely well equipped cottage with every facility down to the provision of a notebook and pen!"
All the fittings and furnishings are of good quality and well maintained. The owners whilst being attentive were in no way intrusive, They met us with a smile and welcome and then left us to or own devices, but were on call should we need them. As the weather was not too clement during our stay it was great to be able to snuggle down with the wood burner blazing in the evenings.
