Changeover day usually starts with sad farewell to departing guests. We always hope they’ve had a wonderful stay — whether they’ve been surfing, exploring the Cornish coast, or simply relaxing with family and their dogs.
Many of our guests leave lovely reviews in our comments book or message us about their stay, which genuinely makes all the effort worthwhile.
Then it’s time to reset Gwelmor for our next arrivals.
First priority? A thorough clean from top to bottom. This isn’t just a quick tidy — it’s a full refresh to make sure everything feels pristine and welcoming.
This includes:
We want guests to step in and immediately feel at home.
Often it’s the small touches that guests remember most, so we make sure:
Because holidays should start the moment you arrive — not after you unpack.
Being a dog-friendly holiday cottage is something we’re proud of. Changeover day always includes making sure Gwelmor is just as welcoming for dogs as it is for their humans.
That means:
After all, some of our happiest guests have four legs.
Before new guests arrive, we do one last walkthrough:
✔ Everything clean and comfortable
✔ Welcome treats for humans and pooches all ready
✔ Keys and arrival details prepared
✔ Cottage looking its absolute best
There’s something really satisfying about knowing the next guests are about to start their Cornish escape.
Each changeover day is part of the rhythm of running a holiday cottage — guests arrive excited, stay becomes memories, and then we prepare again for the next visitors.
After 10 years of welcoming guests to Gwelmor, that moment when someone walks in and says “wow” still never gets old.
If you’re dreaming of a dog-friendly holiday cottage near Widemouth Bay, Gwelmor is always being prepared with care, comfort and coastal relaxation in mind.
All you need to do is arrive, breathe in the sea air… and enjoy.
We’ll take care of the rest.
