Cornwall is a very temperate region of the UK and the beaches are very popular for surfing and other water-sports. The beaches of the north coast are just 14 miles away and also bring you into close proximity to attractions such as the world-famous Eden Project and the Victorian discovery, the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Reviews
Booked for a short break with my grandson. The cottage was immaculate, well equipped with gorgeous views and a pond complete with carp. A very informative welcome pack was much appreciated. The owner was helpful and friendly. This was an ideal location for exploring all the delights Cornwall has to offer. A cream tea waiting on arrival was a lovely touch. Will definitely visit again
Excellent cottage and fully equipped. An ideal base for touring Cornwall and ensuring a relaxing holiday. Friendly and helpful owners.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Shippon, the cottage was all we needed and was comfortable. The owners were very friendly but not intrusive, and our children really enjoyed playing in the large garden - the views are beautiful! They also liked seeing the Shetland ponies across the road! It is in a very quiet location but less than ten minutes from Launceston. Worth every penny!
The property was peaceful and the owners were available if necessary and made us welcome but didn't intrude at all. We were impressed by the overall standard of everything in the cottage. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a restful holiday.
The owner of The Shippon were second to none! They went the extra mile with anything we needed. Amazing views!
The cottage was very comfortable and the garden & the setting were wonderful.
It is a lovely, nice holiday home situated in a very interesting landscape. The view from the garden is great.
The Shippon completed our holiday, it provided a clean, homely and extremely comfortable start and finish to each day. It was excellently appointed and the view from the gardens was a joy.
