“The Dunes is a unique, stylish and very private beach house, situated in Mawgan Porth, a cool corner of Cornwall not far from Padstow and Watergate Bay.”
“My recent discovery of a perfect beach house, on the Cornish South West Coast Path, literally on the beach at Mawgan Porth, was therefore a moment to mark. An unprepossessing wooden doorway on the roadside proved the entry point for a Swallows and Amazons-styled Narnia, tucked away in the dunes, utterly private, overlooking the sea, wood-burning fire and sea shack-styled interior. I couldn’t help dreaming of a return visit, with a bunch of girlfriends, a case of chardonnay and a box of movies, on a mini-break.
