This perfectly positioned Cornish cottage will be a sure fire hit with all its guests. Modern features mix with cosy interiors, making it a great property in all weathers.

The Camel Trail is just minutes from your front door and can be enjoyed on foot or on one of the bikes available to rent in town. The charming harbour is a very short walk away where you can hop aboard the sea life safaris to enjoy a trip out to view the coastline and marine life, take in a fast fun fuelled speedboat ride or simply explore the souvenir shops. If dining out is a family favourite pastime then you really are in good hands, as Padstow offers some of the best restaurants in Cornwall including Paul Ainsworth's No 6, Rojano's, Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant and Bistro or choose an al fresco option of fish and chips on the quay in true Cornish style. The golden sand beaches of Trevone, Harlyn, Constantine and Tregirls are all well worth exploring.

Mr Reaney
Ship shape was a lovely cottage, with a fantastic location with only a 5 minute walk into town, a nice clean pet friendly home, and a nice touch with a cream tea on arrival, and definitely would return to Ship shape in the future thank you so much

A lovely little holiday house with everything included that you need. Staircase is extremely creaky and can be very annoying. The position is great, just a short walk down to the harbour.
