“The owner has obviously done his research on covid19 making this cottage feel clean and safe.”

He has provided lots of information online and put a lot of effort into making it as safe as possible. It was thoroughly enjoyable and wouldn’t hesitate in going back or recommending it to anyone else. Lovely views from the property and some lovely walking round and about.

“The cottage had most things we needed bar an iron (but I am being picky).”

It is located in a quiet spot with great views and we found it an idle location for exploring Devon and Cornwall. I would certainly recommend this as a great place to stay.

Mrs Tapping November 2019

“Beautiful site/location.”

Owners made us most welcome and we received complimentary wine, scones, home made jam, clotted cream and chocs! And our dogs had a complimentary treat each too! Bird feeder by door filled with peanuts so we could watch the several varieties of birds come to feed. Very clean, very well organised. Highly recommended.

“The cottage is in a very tranquil setting, the gardens are well tended and the birdlife is varied and entertaining, encouraged by well placed seed holders optimising viewing .”

Whilst the owners farm is adjacent you are not aware of them unless you cross paths on an early morning walk. The countryside and coast are exquisite and are excellent for walking ,biking or touring. It is very unspoilt, not over commercialised,and there is a sense of a real community not just visitors. There are good pubs with costs to suit all pockets.

Mr Smith September 2018

“Great location and great cottage, Martin the host is fantastic , everything is thought of, milk tea coffee , wine , chocolate, and scones all waiting for you, my only issue is this didn’t have a enclosed garden, with having the dogs is the main thing I searched for , this had no reflection on the the cottage it’s self, more Sykes for showing it in the search, there is seating and garden area but not enclosed , this is the same for the other cottages on this farm.”

“We stayed at Shipload cottage for 10 days.”

Cottage had everything , even my Mother was surprised they thought of everything.. My 8 year old son also enjoyed his stay there. Very quiet and peaceful. Cottage was cosy and well furnished. Would recommend highly. Thanks to Martin for a lovely break from the rat race in South East England....

Mrs Guild July 2018

“Shipload cottage was a lovely cottage, Martyn was very helpful, we had a box of choice, bottle of wine and lovely home made cream tea on our arrival.”

Beautiful surroundings with lots of wildlife, very peaceful, yet only a stones throw from lots of things to do and our children and dog was worn out with all the adventurous walks and trips to the many nearby beaches we went on. Can’t wait to visit again!

- Mrs Guild, July 2018
Mrs Evans July 2018

“The cottage setting was lovely and peaceful with an abundance of wildlife.”

The area has some beautiful country side and there were lovely walks for the dogs. The manager of the cottage was very friendly and helpful about the area. The cottage was very comfortable and the little extras of wine,chocolates and home made scones and jam were well received.

Mrs Garlick May 2018

“We stayed at Shipload Cottage 12th-19th May 2018, we had a great time.”

A wonderful welcome from John, nothing was too much trouble, they had thought of everything including a fantastic welcome pack including wine, chocolates, scones, jam and cream. A beautiful clean cottage, beds spotless, bathroom immaculate and extremely comfortable. We found the cottage down a country lane surrounded by fields, pheasants in the garden, just wonderful. Thank you to John, Martin and anyone else that made our stay so fantastic. We will be back.
