The Shippen

About this property

The Shippen is a lovely, single-storey barn conversion resting near a beach close to Rosudgeon, Cornwall. This characterful property comes equipped with a woodburning stove, barbecue, and open-plan living space – with designated, off-road parking for three cars, The Shippen is idyllic for families or groups of friends on a seaside getaway in Cornwall. Stroll from the ocean to your new abode and rinse off that stubborn sand in a family bathroom or en-suite shower room while the washing machine prepares tomorrow’s swimming costume. Whip up a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen space to enjoy at the spacious dining table.

When the sun follows you home, sizzle up some supper on the barbecue and indulge in some alfresco dining. Toss your plates to the dishwasher and settle into the evening with your favourite film on the Smart TV, toasty by the glow of a woodburning stove. When sleep calls, answer in a super-king-size (zip/link), king-size, or twin bed eager to embrace you. Explore your local surroundings with a dip in the sea at Prussia Cove beach, visit Stackhouse Bath, and take a scenic stroll through National Trust – Cudden Point Nature Reserve. Venture a little further afield for the seaside town of Penzance to explore the Penlee House Gallery & Museum, walk along Penzance Promenade, and catch an evening show at the Penlee Park Open Air Theatre.

Take that short drive to Newquay to meet the animals at Newquay Zoo, dive deeper at Blue Reef Aquarium Newquay, and relax in the beauty of Trenance Gardens. Enjoy all this and more when you book a stay at The Shippen.

Located inland between Penzance and Praa Sands, Rosudgeon is a small, semirural village set close to the coast of this charming corner of Cornwall. Situated one mile from the popular South West Coast Path, Rosudgeon is an ideal base for walkers, beach lovers, and those wishing to uncover the wealth of Cornwall's historic and artistic heritage. 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. The harbour and beaches offer a beautiful place to relax whilst the seafront is sure to impress, with its promenade and open-air, seawater Jubilee Bathing Pool, one of the oldest surviving Art Deco swimming baths. Rosudgeon provides a well-placed holiday location for your next Cornish getaway.
