“We enjoyed our stay at the Shippen.”
It’s in an excellent location with beaches, shop and pub all within walking distance and loads of walks to do from the property so we didn’t use the car once we were there. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped, although the dishwasher was difficult to use because the door couldn’t be opened properly as it clashed with the fridge door.

It’s in an excellent location with beaches, shop and pub all within walking distance and loads of walks to do from the property so we didn’t use the car once we were there. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped, although the dishwasher was difficult to use because the door couldn’t be opened properly as it clashed with the fridge door. Also a cafetière is needed in order for guests to enjoy the Cornish coffee that was left as a welcome gift. The property could do with a few tweaks in order to make it really comfortable. The outside area needs to be spruced up e.g railing at front needs painting, patio area needs a good tidy and the bins need to be hidden away rather than right next to the patio. Also needs a proper patio table rather than the fold up one provided, and a more modern barbecue would be a big improvement. The furniture in some areas needs to be upgraded, some of it is very flimsy and the bedside cabinets smell very strongly of woodsmoke. All the rooms need a mirror (including the en suite shower room, so people can shave or put makeup on without going to the other bathroom) and the en suite needs a loo roll holder. All the bedrooms need a decent sized chest of drawers, there’s plenty of room for them - we lived out of our suitcases because there was nowhere to put our stuff - or maybe put more shelves in the wardrobes (people on a beach/walking holiday need to put t shirts, jeans, shorts etc away not items that need to be hung up). Also, whilst the property was generally dog friendly the garden/patio area was not secure so we had to keep our dog on a lead at all times when in the garden so he didn’t run off and chase the rabbits at the end of the drive. I hope these comments are taken as constructive criticism; we have stayed in many similar places and these things are what makes the difference between a fabulous stay and an ok one.
Thank you, Denise, for your constructive comments which we do take very seriously and thank you for your time in helping us make the Shippen a perfect holiday destination. We are really glad you enjoyed your time there and thank you for the welcome comments about location and the local amenities. We have already taken on board some of your suggestions, and hopefully guests will appreciate the additions as a result. As you probably could tell, the Shippen has been completely refurbished and redecorated earlier this year and so is in a very good condition, but there are one or two things which still needs to be added back, including the cafetière, which is, I agree, pretty essential.

The property
The Shippen is a delightful, single-storey barn conversion situated near the coast, close to Rosudgeon in Cornwall.
Brimming with character, this charming retreat features a woodburning stove, barbecue, and an open-plan living area.
With off-road parking for three vehicles, it’s an ideal choice for families or groups of friends seeking a seaside escape.
After a stroll along the beach, return to your holiday home and wash away the sand in either the family bathroom or the en-suite shower room, while the washing machine takes care of tomorrow’s swimwear.
Prepare a hearty meal in the well-equipped kitchen and gather around the spacious dining table to enjoy it.
On sunny evenings, fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco.
Afterwards, let the dishwasher handle the clean-up while you unwind with a film on the Smart TV, warmed by the gentle glow of the woodburner.
When it’s time to rest, choose from a super-king-size (zip/link), king-size, or twin bed.
Discover the local area with a swim at Prussia Cove, a visit to Stackhouse Bath, or a scenic walk through the National Trust’s Cudden Point Nature Reserve.
For a day out, head to Penzance to explore the Penlee House Gallery & Museum, stroll along the promenade, or enjoy a performance at the Penlee Park Open Air Theatre.
A short drive away, Newquay offers family fun at the zoo, marine life at the Blue Reef Aquarium, and peaceful moments in Trenance Gardens.
All this and more awaits when you book a stay at The Shippen.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

Rosudgeon has a convenient village store and a pub, which is well known for its locally-sourced food, whilst just two miles away is the beautiful St Michael’s Mount, standing proud in the bay. Nearby Penzance is known as the gateway to some of the most spectacular scenery that West Cornwall has to offer, including the famous Minack Theatre, Land's End and sea and air links to the Isles of Scilly.

Rosudgeon provides a well-placed holiday location for your next Cornish getaway.
