Sleeping up to four guests in two bedrooms, The Shippen is a good choice for families who want to enjoy a taste of country life and visit Cornwall. One of four holiday cottages at Markwell Farm, near the village of Landrake in South East Cornwall, the cottage is surrounded by glorious rolling Cornish countryside and within easy reach of the areas many attractions.
Converted from 18th Century stone barns, the cottages are welcoming and provide everything needed for a self-catering holiday with a south-facing aspect and glorious views.
Markwell Farm has been opening its doors to guests since 2001 and offers the chance to step off the treadmill and relax in the peace and tranquility of the countryside. Children will love the opportunity to see the comings and goings of farm life and there are plenty of animals to meet including the resident dogs and cats, along with cows, sheep and llamas that graze the surrounding fields.
Take a stroll around the farm land or bring your bike and explore the flower-filled country lanes that burst into colour in the spring. Alternatively, enjoy the abundance of day trips out on offer. Pack up your bucket and space and head to the golden sands of Looe or Polperro with its pretty harbour, pubs and gift shops. Whitsand Bay, dog-friendly Downbderry and Seaton (with its lifeguard patrolled beach during the summer months) are also within easy driving distance, as is Bodmin Moor, the Tamar Valley AONB and Dartmoor National Park, peppered with picturesque little villages to explore and miles of superb walking or mountain biking.
