Multi-award-winning Gwelmor is a spacious and stylish three-bedroom holiday cottage just four minutes walk from the beach in Widemouth Bay, north Cornwall.
Positioned at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac and set on a single level, Gwelmor is perfect for three generations wanting to holiday under one roof and ideal for dog-loving couples who want to be by the sea. With easy access to the South West Coast Path there's some simply stunning, but quite challenging, walks right from Gwelmor's doorstep.
Launched in 2017, Gwelmor's owners were keen to provide a holiday home that was as welcoming to dogs as humans, but not compromising on luxury. The cottage combines real comforting charm with striking furniture and quirky decor.
Pulling up outside Gwelmor (parking for up to three vehicles) its initial appearance can be quite deceiving. Opening the front door you find yourself stepping into a spacious hallway, the walls of which are decorated with framed vintage vinyl album covers and a selection of local artwork.

There's a patio area for alfresco dining or a barbecue, around the back is a lawned section. Two lockable gates and fencing all round provides a safe place for toddlers and dogs to play.
Back inside and taking the hallway to the right off to the right from the entrance are the three stylish bedrooms - two king size, one with an en-suite shower room, a twin and large family bathroom.
The king-size bedroom with en-suite is equipped with a Smart TV and stylish furniture made from from sustainable wood made in Devon. All our super comfy mattresses are organic are also handmade in Devon.

A separate utility room provides a useful additional space with store cupboards containing supplies for your four-legged friends, such as poo bags, food and water bowls, towels for rubbing down sandy paws and extra bedding. There's also a washing machine and extra sink.
From here, a door leads out to the back garden with area for drying washing and a handy wooden outdoor unit to store muddy boots and sandy shoes.
