[edit] General Overview
Shell Cottage is the cottage on the oceanside where Bill and Fleur reside after their marriage.
[edit] Extended Description
Ron stays at Shell Cottage over Christmas of Harry's seventh year, when he apparates away from Harry and Hermione after their fight. This is also where Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Dean, Mr. Olivander and Griphook take shelter after the fight at Malfoy Manor, and is the place where Dobby is laid to rest. With all of these people, the cottage is quite crowded, particularly as Griphook requires a room of his own, and Harry will not let Bill send Griphook or Mr. Ollivander to a different safe-house. We hear at one point that Harry, Ron, and Dean are sleeping in the living room.
The location of the cottage is protected by the Fidelius charm; the secret-keeper is Bill Weasley. Lupin visits while Harry is there, to announce the birth of his son Teddy.
In post-publication interviews, the author has suggested that Shell Cottage is located on the outskirts of Tinworth, in Cornwall.
