The cottage was extremely well equipped with everything you could need and more. It was extremely clean and the bedding made me feel like I was staying in a hotel. The hosts were very friendly and the recommendations they gave me for food were spot on. Overall, I had a great time at the Bearoak Shippon and will definitely look at returning in the summer.

Beautiful property, with every home comfort. Spotlessly clean and very welcoming, the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in. The owners are super friendly and very helpful and accomodating. The location is perfect for accessing all Cornwall, but in a peaceful idyllic setting. The directions to get there were clear and easy to follow, with loads of parking on arrival. The welcome pack was amazing! Good local pubs and lovely walks. We cannort recommend this cottage highly enough.
