Gwelmor is a multi-award-winning family and dog-friendly holiday cottage just five minutes walk from the beach at Widemouth Bay, north Cornwall.
Contemporary and spaciously laid out, the cottage sleeps six in three bedrooms, is set on a single level with a fully enclosed garden, making it a great retreat for the whole family.
Gwelmor was named the Dog Friendly Business of the Year in the South West Tourism Excellence Awards 2021/2022 and in the Cornwall Tourism Awards 2021/22, having won Bronze in the previous two years.

The South West Coast Path runs 630 miles from Somerset to Dorset. The breath-taking stretch along north Cornwall falls right on Gwelmor's doorstep and has some seriously arduous climbs, but the rewards are worth the effort. We're are on a mission to walk entire path and are blogging each leg along the way.
Bude has its very own semi-natural sea pool just above Summerleaze Beach. Open daily and free to swim thanks to the dedicated work of the Friends of Bude Sea Pool charity. Dogs on leads welcome, a water bowl is provided but there’s no shade.
With its craggy rock-pools, colourful beach huts, open-air sea pool, surf schools, kayaking and outdoor pursuits, Summerleaze Beach has it all. The beach is dog friendly all year round but must be kept on a lead from May 21 to September 30 10am to 6pm.
If you're like us and love a Sunday Roast, then this is the place for you. The traditional beef with trimmings is sensational and is served in a warm and friendly environment. The hotel overlooks Bude canal, is close to Summerleaze and Crooklets beaches and has dining room tables which are dog friendly. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.
The ethos behind this cosy restaurant is to 'bridge the gap between local suppliers and your plate'. And it doesn't disappoint. Menus change with the season and they encourage you to order things you've never heard of - and trust them.
A great place for the whole family. Dine out on locally produced food in a great location overlooking the lake. Meanwhile the kids are kept entertained with the interactive wildlife centre and playground. Dogs are welcome in the garden and the centre has its spa too for a spot of pampering.
Gwelmor has welcomed hundreds of dogs on holiday since its launch in 2016. Here's just a selection of our VIPs (Very Important Pooches) captured on camera enjoying their family getaway by the sea.
