Gwithian Beach Chalet: Oystercatcher

Our shabby-chic chalet is hidden by the dunes behind one of the UK's most spectacular golden beaches.

There's original art on the wall, designer cushions and throws on the sofa and chairs, and local pottery and ceramics in the cupboards. But there's all the practical stuff too, cafetiere, microwave, teapot, wifi, mugs.
