The location of the cottage were beautiful, the garden and scenery of the nearby valleys were the definite highlight. The garden pond with the fish were spectacular. The hosts were very kind and helpful. The cottage was cosy. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and ideal for young families such as ours.

The Shippon is an amazing little cottage, with welcoming owners and a cream tea on arrival. You don’t have to travel too far to get anywhere, beautiful views and great use of facilities. Highly recommend and I hope to go back one day.

“We absolutely loved staying here.”

We absolutely loved staying here. We have 2 young children (under the age of 4) and we found the cottage had everything we needed. It was very cosy and the views were beautiful. The owners had left lots if Easter treats hidden around the cottage which my toddler absolutely loved! Will definetly be coming here again to stay some time in the future.

“Wow! What a fabulous holiday. The ...”

Wow! What a fabulous holiday. The owners were so friendly and a godsend when we had car trouble. Owner even came out and picked me and my 3 children up and gave us a lift back to the cottage. The cottage was very cosy and quaint had everything we needed and more. My eldest 2 loved the pond and outdoor space. Only one.thing I missed was a fan in the bedroom got quite hot up there with my baby other than that perfect accomodation. Thank you both so much.

“The Garden, sun room/conservatory ...”

The Garden, sun room/conservatory and paved sitting out area with panoramic rural views are superb and the large fish pond with it's Koi fish and wildlife really compliments the accommodation. A great place to relax and perhaps drink a "sundowner" after a day touring. The owners Ulli and Lauraine were very welcoming and catered for our every requirement. The access lane is a single track with passing places but generally devoid of traffics during our stay. As a base for touring it has excellent road communications in all directions. There is a good choice of places to eat nearby

A perfect property, best we have booked. Facilities, property and location exceeded our expectations and added to a fantastic and much needed relaxing holiday. Thank you to Lorraine and Ulli.

“Cream tea, an Easter egg for each ...”

Cream tea, an Easter egg for each of our party and a very friendly and helpful Ulli welcomed us to the Shippon - indeed the nicest welcome we've ever had! The cottage offered all we needed and was perfectly situated for all the trips we had planned: the Cornish Coast and the moors. We hope to return some day.

Trevosper Barn

An attractive group containing three stone cottages and a barn conversion, in a countryside setting with fabulous views over the fields from the garden. The cottages are next to each other in a courtyard and lie within the hamlet of Polyphant. The owners also live within the courtyard in a converted farmhouse. This is a quiet, peaceful rural location, 5 miles west of the historic town of Launceston but within minutes of the main A30 route through Cornwall. The large, half-acre communal garden outside these Launceston cottages backs onto open countryside, and has a conservatory overlooking the wildlife pond; visitors can enjoy some quiet time here, with the added benefit of a small library of books and coffee-making facilities. There are some fabulous traditional pubs nearby, most of which are child-friendly and many of which accept dogs. The nearest to these Launceston cottages is only 1.5 miles away. This group of Launceston cottages are in an ideal location for exploring a whole range of pursuits, especially the dramatic North Cornwall coastline, including Widemouth Bay, which is particularly good for surfing, rock pools and beach games and is also dog-friendly. Walkers are spoilt for choice, with Bodmin Moor on the doorstep, dominated by dramatic granite tors which tower over the sweeping expanses of open moorland. Why not take a family cycle ride along the gentle reaches of the nearby Camel Trail, a traffic-free route following the course of the river through woodland and moorland? These Launceston cottages offer a great base to explore and unwind together.

About the location

POLYPHANT

Launceston 5 miles; Truro 41 miles.

Just inside the county boundary, this delightful village is situated among rolling meadowland, wooded valleys and winding country lanes. A few miles to the east, the ancient county town of Launceston with its shops, leisure centre, Norman castle and local history museum looks out over the deeply wooded valley and the River Tamar, while in the other direction lie the open spaces of Bodmin Moor, with its craggy tors, spectacular scenery and Daphne Du Maurier’s famous Jamaica Inn. With a wealth of tiny hamlets, country pubs and interesting walks nearby, there is also superb fishing, abundant wildlife and a number of golf courses to tempt the visitor. The north coast beaches are only 14 miles away and the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan can be reached within 40 minutes; Penzance and the far west are just over an hour by car and to the east there’s the wild open spaces of Dartmoor. A magical area for those seeking peace, tranquillity, stunning scenery and a wide range of attractions.
