Celebrating 10 Years of Gwelmor Dog Friendly Holiday Cottage

Celebrating 10 years in business

This year marks a very special milestone for us — 10 years of welcoming guests (and their dogs!) to Gwelmor holiday cottage. What started as a dream to create a relaxing coastal escape has grown into something truly meaningful, thanks to the amazing guests who have stayed, returned, recommended us, and made Gwelmor part of their holiday memories.

And of course, many of those memories include sandy paws, wagging tails and happy beach adventures.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

A Decade of Coastal Escapes — Humans & Hounds Included

Over the past ten years, Gwelmor has been a base for so many special moments:

  • Family beach holidays and summer adventures
  • Cosy winter escapes by the sea
  • Romantic getaways on the Cornish coast
  • Dog-friendly holidays where no one gets left behind
  • Celebrations, reunions and much-needed breaks from busy life

Some of our favourite guest photos are the ones with dogs enjoying their first sight of the sea — and we love that Gwelmor has become a place where the whole family can holiday together.

Why Guests (and Dogs!) Keep Returning

Being close to the Cornish coast — especially beautiful Widemouth Bay — means guests get the best of seaside living, with plenty for four-legged visitors too:

✔ Easy access to dog-friendly beaches and coastal paths
✔ Space to relax after long walks
✔ Stylish, comfortable accommodation for everyone
✔ A genuinely dog-friendly welcome
✔ That “home from home” feeling by the sea

Many guests tell us they relax the moment they arrive — dogs included!

Thank You for Being Part of Our Story

Some of you have stayed multiple times, recommended us to friends, or followed Gwelmor from the very beginning. Seeing returning guests — both two-legged and four-legged — is honestly the biggest compliment we could receive.

This cottage has hosted laughter, celebrations, quiet moments, seaside adventures and plenty of muddy paw prints, and every booking has helped shape the journey.

Our 10-Year Celebration Offer 🎉

To celebrate a decade of Gwelmor, we’re doing something special:

Everyone who books a stay during 2026 will be entered to win a FREE week-long out of season stay in 2027.

It’s our way of saying thank you for supporting us and being part of the Gwelmor story.

Looking Ahead to the Next Chapter

We’re excited about what the future holds — more guests discovering Cornwall, more happy dogs on the beach, and many more memories made by the sea.

If you’ve stayed with us before, thank you.
If you’re thinking about booking, we’d love to welcome you (and your dog).

Here’s to the next 10 years of coastal escapes at Gwelmor — where holidays are always better when everyone comes along.
