PROPERTY
A clapperboard beach cottage Cornwall, walking distance from Holywell Bay, Polly Joke beach, and Cubert village.

It's the perfect weekend retreat for the owners, who rent the holiday home out through uniquehomestays.com.

LIVING ROOM
The main living space features wood walls, floors and beams, with a cosy log burner, a bamboo hanging chair and an inviting linen corner sofa.
There's also a small dining table made from reclaimed wood.

Narrow planks have been added to the back wall, to create un-deep shelving that's perfect for displaying small decorative items, as well as boxes that frame the hanging display items against the wall.
Curtains are washed linen, while the floors are white lacquered floor boards, recreating the laid-back essence of beach cottages that can often be found along the Queensland coast.
