With two cosy bedrooms, a warm and homely living room and a private garden for al fresco dining, this delightful house welcomes couples or a family to come and explore wonderful Padstow and the stunning North Cornwall coast.

Experience the charm of a country cottage in the heart of town at this lovely home. After a day of exploring, relax in the snug living room with a wood burner-effect electric fire, or step through the French doors into the courtyard for some fresh air. The dining area and cottage-style kitchen provide everything you need to enjoy a delicious meal. There’s also a convenient ground-floor cloakroom. On the first floor, discover a double bedroom with a TV and sea glimpses from the large window. There’s also an inviting twin bedroom that promises a peaceful night’s rest. The gleaming family bathroom completes the internal layout. Step outside the front door and unwind in the enclosed patio area with garden furniture, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or dining in the sunshine. Head to the rear patio area for more outdoor seating options. The property is ideally situated less than 500 metres from the seafront, with a range of independent shops and eateries waiting to be explored nearby. With its lively fishing harbour and bustling atmosphere, Padstow has plenty of activities to keep you entertained. If you’re in the mood for some sun, there are beautiful sandy beaches within a mile and more to be found along the spectacular coastline.

Alternatively, take a leisurely bike ride along the gorgeous Camel Trail that leads along the river and inland to Bodmin. You can’t visit Padstow without trying some of its famous seafood restaurants, and there are many excellent options to try. For a more laid-back meal, grab some fish and chips and dine by the harbour, watching the fishing boats come and go. For a day out to remember, visit the world-famous Eden Project, 20 miles from your door.

Shipshape is a lovely little house, beautifully furnished and equipped, and our dog was welcome too. A lovely cream tea was waiting for us on arrival and even included a little bag of treats for the dog! A real home from home, comfortable furniture, and lovely fresh white bedlinen and towels. If you book Shipshape for your next holiday you won't beRead more disappointed. We thoroughly recommend this property. Hide

Beautiful cottage & great location, especially with a parking spot! Lots of walking & people watching around the harbour as usual & visits along the coast and to St Mawes, Charleston and Heligan in the south. Eighth year to Padstow and one of the best cottages we have been to.

Your website says the property has 2 bathrooms which is not the case, could do with more comfortable furniture in the back yard, barbecue needs replacing (main strut joining the wheel rusted through), coffee machine doesnt work on full cup setting, apart from that lovely house.

Back home again for May day! Another special day with great weather. Amazing to be staying in a cottage in old school grounds where we started school some 65 years ago. Cottage is very well appointed in an ideal location. We will be back again.

Our third stay at Ship Shape is evidence of how much we like the property, as it is always clean and well-equipped. The welcome pack is a nice touch too. I do feel, however, that it is a little expensive for what it is.

Excellent location for access to Padstow, without too many hills and great for dog walking. The cottage had everything we could ask for and the Cream Team in the welcome pack was delicious and lovely introduction to Cornish products. Thank you.
