We had a really nice time here and made some great memories. It was the perfect place to stay if you wanted to explore West Cornwall, but it was also a gorgeous place to simply be. We really recommend The Shippen for families and dog owners who are looking for a special place to stay in Cornwall. We will definitely be going back.
The place was very comfortable and it had everything we needed. The location was perfect for the beach and the pub. Our hosts, Paula and Chris were superb. We bought milk, eggs and yoghurt from them, which were fresh and delicious. I strongly recommend this place.
We visited Treen Farm with our three kids in August 2024 and had a beautiful stay. Paula made us feel super welcome and provided tips, milk, eggs and ice cream fresh from the cows.
The farm is beautifully located just about 500m from the cliff and coastal pathway with good access to beautiful beaches. You can also enjoy the mood at Logan Rock which is totally underrated... Where else can you watch the sun setting behind auch a coastline and sit almost alone.
The barn is nicely converted to a guesthouse with two bedrooms & bathrooms, a combined kitchen, eating and living area. The kitchen is fully equipped!
Please note: this is a real farm, so you will encounter some flys and the chicken also leave something behind, this is part of the farm vacation experience.
We can only recommend it!
The f
Excellent accommodation in a small village within a short walk to the coast, and a good pub just across the road. Ideal location for walks from the house, and only a few miles drive to Penzance, Land's End, etc. Very friendly, helpful hosts (thanks Paula!), and the property had everything we needed, and was warm, comfortable, quiet, etc. Would definitely stay there again, and it's a great area for coastal walks and general outdoor activities.
Had a wonderful opportunity to rent The Shippen (Cow Shed) for the continuation of the South West Coast Path. (Close by)
The proprietor Paula, on hand to welcome our arrival, to a perfect 1st class accomadation and first impressions that with leave a smile on your face, tastefully converted, furnishing with everything that is required for a comfortable day and night stay away. Off road parking, with a local pub serving the finest of ales, wines and the quality of meals you would expect. Very highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the farm. Across the road from the pub (no noise or anything - just very convenient!) Tea and cake to welcome us and milk and eggs in the fridge - we would certainly book again.
Absolutely fantastic stay, our hosts were friendly and helpful, the cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed, the pub just a very short walk away, was friendly and the food was good. The location is brilliant for walking and not too far from the beach. A excellent stay all round
A very warm welcome from the owners made our stay special. The cottage was cosy and comfortable and we had a very enjoyable stay, thank you

Lovely holiday home in a wonderful landscape
We've had a great time on Treen Farm. The shippen is really nice and was perfect for our two daughters, my wife and me. Two seperate bedrooms, each with an bathroom on each hand of the house and in the middle a combined kitchen and living room. The Shippen is well equipped and cozy. We enjouyed our two weeks stay, especially the terrace for breakfast with home-grown milk and eggs or to relax after a long day of discovering the cornish landscape.
Mr and Mrs Hall had been very nice and friendly. They answered every question patiently, helped us with any probem and gave us many tips for our holidays, we are still grateful.
The landscape itself was wonderful. Walks along the South West Coastpath, nice beaches and lovely coves, the cliffs and the ocean, so many lovely villages to visit, Land's End, Lizard Point, St. Michael's Mount, Falmouth and the ferry to St. Mawes with a stop in Penny comes quick, a really nice pub with a great crew and good meals, Bedruthan steps,... there is so much to enjoy, relax and discover.

Excellent accommodation and location
We stayed in The Shippen with our 3 grown-up children and we all loved the property and the location. Very comfortable, immaculately clean, very well equipped and Paula was very welcoming. Fresh produce readily available. Lots to see within easy reach, Lands End, Minack Theatre, St Ives, great beaches and cliff walks. Excellent food at nearby pub. We shall definitely be arranging another holiday!

Great place to explore cliffs and beaches and meet dairy cows, chickens and dartmoor ponies.
Warm welcome from owners, lovely location, beautiful walks.
Kids loved watching cows being milked and later drinking the milk.

Beautiful and clean cottage and very nice landlady/landlord
We have been in Treen two years ago and were therefore familiar with this tiny and quiet village. There is a sandy beach in a walking distance, the Logan Rock Inn a nice pub serving good food, and last but not least the Treen Café where you can get fresh bread, jam, marmalade, and small snacks. The surrounding countryside is perfect for taking walks.
The Cottage is well furnished, entirely equipped and very clean. We were welcomed by Paula, the landlady although it was almost 11pm when we arrived. There were some cake in the kitchen and fresh eggs in the fridge from domestic production. Paula allows us to move the furnishings as we like; of course we had to rearrange it before departure.
Chris, the landlord has shown all of us but especially our fourteen years old daughter the farm, explained what his work is and what he and Paula are doing with the cows, the calfs, and chicken. Our daughter was welcomed to visit the animals at any time. Besides the livestock there are four wild ponies close to the Cottage which are in Paula's and Chris' care.
During our two weeks stay we went for walks, went swimming and made some excursions to the surrounding towns and villages where you can find signs of historical events, lots of art galleries, excellent ice cream, beaches and very nice people.
By and large our holidays were really relaxing and exciting.
We can recommend this Cottage without any reservation!

Perfect cottage
The Shippen is absolutely perfect. Paula and Chris have provided everything you could possibly want to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Beautiful location, fresh eggs every day, loved the bathrooms with underfloor heating and the log burner which kept it cosy. Loved waking up to see the chickens and cows. Having The Logan Rock pub on your doorstep is a bonus with friendly staff and amazing food. Highly recommend both! Hope we get to return to The Shippen sometime.

Die schönste Seite von Cornwall
Das war bis jetzt der schönste Urlaub in Cornwall, eine sehr nett eingerichtete und gepflegte Ferienwohnung. Unsere Vermieter versorgten uns immer mit frische Milch und Landeier. Perfekt zum Wandern an den Klippen oder man nutzt die 2. Sandstrände zum Relexen. Tagestouren sind von hieraus Super zu machen. Wir waren 14 Tage hier und kommen wieder. Und kommen wieder. Zu empfehlen ist ein National trust Besucher Ticket, aber bitte in Deutschland buchen. Hierbei Sparen sie überall die Eintrittsgelder oder Parkplatzgebühren.
Für Kinder sind es richtige Ferien auf dem Bauernhof.
Danke der Familie Hall für den schönen Urlaub.

Super Barn in the heart of Treen
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this lovely working farm. The Barn was very comfortable and extremely well equipped, converted to a high standard. The owners are very welcoming and keen to ensure all is provided for. The pub over the road is great and the walks along the cliffs are stunning. Overall, I would strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway in a lovely part of Cornwall.

Lovely Character Accommodation.
Our stay over Christmas was made even more special by the effort the owners had made with flowers, fruit , fresh farm eggs and milk and even mince pies after our long journey. The accommodation is always immaculately clean and the facilities are perfect for self catering. Especially welcoming was the Log burner which was supplied with ample amounts of fuel. Very relaxing and cosy after a day out in the fresh air. The bathrooms are provided with lots of fluffy towels (great if the weather catches you out ) and both have under floor heating which is a real treat in Winter. There is an additional area outside the property which can be used for eating out or just relaxing watching the chickens. It is a working farm so ideal if you have a love of animals. If you are lucky during your stay it is especially lovely to see new born calves and baby chicks.
The accommodation has private parking outside so it is ideal if you have lots of luggage, beach equipment etc.
The location is perfect at anytime of year if you love the sense of open space, with beautiful cliffs and beaches very close by . The coastal path is great for walking and now has the added attraction of Dartmoor ponies who's grazing is helping to manage the scrubland areas.
