Ideal holiday home for a family getaway

Ideal holiday home for a family getaway with an almost 3-year-old. The gifts on arrival, with a special gift for the kid, were an especially nice touch and appreciated. The location was ideal, 5 minutes' walk from the beach, and there are a couple of nice restaurants nearby (we appreciated the recommendations in the "Guests" section of the website). The house itself had everything required for a holiday -- we particularly enjoyed the DVD selection.

We had a wonderful holiday

We had a wonderful holiday with our son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren aged 6 and 3yrs. The bungalow had every home comfort. The owner even left a little gift for the children with their name on them, thank you.

Would definitely recommend this property

Would definitely recommend this property. It is a very well equipped, comfortable property. The owners have thought of everything you might need whilst on holiday. Also very dog friendly which is important to us. In a great position being five minutes walk to the beach and local eateries.

Can't fault it and hope to be back soon

We have had a wonderful holiday at Gwelmor. The house is spotlessly clean and well equipped and the area is so quiet. Great location for the beach or for exploring Cornwall. Can't fault it and hope to be back soon. Thanks to Jayne for being a great host and the lovely welcome gifts - much appreciated after a long journey.

...a great place to unwind and relax

Really enjoyed our stay here. Was a home away from home, drench showers and facilities were excellent, every convenience had been well thought out. We felt very welcome. Loved the immediate and surrounding area. Plenty to see and do, also a great place to unwind and relax.

Gwelmor was brilliant

We have had an amazing holiday. Widemouth Bay is great, it had everything we needed for a family holiday and Gwelmor was brilliant. Lovely accommodation that had everything we needed and more. Thank you for the welcome gifts, Arthur and the boys loved them, such a thoughtful idea.

...the most comfortable we have ever stayed in...

Perfect! The house was just fantastic and the most comfortable we have ever stayed in and a great size. The garden was a bonus and a real sun trap in a really peaceful location. And with the beach a stones throw away the kids had a great time surfing and body boarding till the sun set .... will be back !!!

Our fourth visit...Beautifully presented house in a great location

Our fourth visit...Beautifully presented house in a great location - enclosed garden completely safe for dogs and children, super comfy beds, spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen. A short walk to sandy, dog friendly beach with rock pools for exploring and popular for surfing. A couple of pubs/restaurants in walking distance and Bude 10 minutes away by car or an hour's walk on the beautiful SW coastal path. A great base for exploring North Devon and Cornwall.

Would 100% recommend Gwelmor

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Gwelmor. Perfect location for coastal walks, the beach, dog walks and to a local pub. You really don't need to use the car if you don't want to. The house is spotlessly clean, so quiet and so well laid out. Its also super dog friendly. We have already booked again for next year and can't wait to go back. Jayne is also so lovely and friendly if you need anything. Would 100% recommend Gwelmor.

Looking forward to visits 6 and 7 that are already booked for next year!

Sadly we have reached the end of our 5th stay at Gwelmor, but we are looking forward to visits 6 and 7 that are already booked for next year! We have had a wonderful week visiting our favourite places and discovering new. It’s great to have complete confidence that we are going to spend our stay in clean, well equipped and comfortable accommodation surrounded by fantastic coastline and beautiful countryside all right on our doorstep. My shoulders dropped and I let out a huge sigh as we dropped down the now familiar slope into Widemouth Bay secure in the knowledge that we would have a great holiday whatever the world throws at us!

Our fifth visit in three years

We recently spent a wonderful week in Gwelmor - our fifth visit in three years. Being all on one level and its lovely enclosed garden, it's absolutely perfect for young families. Our two and five year olds feel completely at home here, as do we. Despite the patchy weather, we found plenty to do in the immediate area and within a short drive. The kids loved the nearby theme parks too, but the highlight is undoubtedly the local beaches, brilliant for paddling and rock pooling. We can't recommend it highly enough and have already booked in again (twice) for next year.

The perfect escape after lockdown

We had a wonderful time. We took the home on recommendation and it was the perfect escape after lockdown. Excellent location for the lovely Widemouth beach and visits to Bude and the beautiful North Cornish coast (Tintagel, Boscastle, Rock, Holywell Bay). We couldn't fault the accommodation which was very spacious and well equipped and the owner was very welcoming. We highly recommend Gwelmor and hope to return.

The cottage was spotlessly clean

We absolutely loved Gwelmor. Jayne has thought of everything to make this the perfect setting for a family holiday with the dogs. The cottage was spotlessly clean, spacious and beautifully furnished. The eco friendly cleaning products and the fact that everything was locally sourced, from the paintings and furniture to the shower gel and shampoo was a really nice touch. The location is superb too. The dogs loved their treats. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Absolutely relished in the peace and quiet

"I think this is our fourth visit to Gwelmor and it simply gets better each time. Unusually we were child-free this time and we absolutely relished in the peace and quiet, the wintry but invigorating walks, the cosy nights in and exceptional meals out. Thank you for making this such an incredible home from home. We'll be back (with the kids!) in August."

Such thoughtful attention to detail

“We spent a recent weekend at Gwelmor with family. It was our first trip away with our 4 month old son. The bungalow was so incredibly spacious and well laid out. Each bedroom was immaculately presented and the beds are comfortable... Such thoughtful attention to detail, especially if you have a dog. We would definitely recommend this holiday home. Thank you for having us.”

What a wonderful January treat!

"What a wonderful January treat! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay. Gwelmor is cosy, homely and beautifully decorated. What we loved most was the dog friendly touches - the extra towels, poo bags etc. You've really thought of everything and taken the stress away. We've loved exploring Widemouth Bay, Bude and now, on our way home, are off to Milook and Boscastle. What stunning places you have nearby. This has been the perfect winter break, despite the typical Cornish weather. We would love to come back again."

The bungalow is perfect, such attention to detail and everything you could possibly need.

"We've had a fantastic week at the beautiful 'Gwelmor'. The bungalow is perfect, such attention to detail and everything you could possibly need. The welcome gifts were the cherry on the cake - thank you! The coastal path to Crackington Haven is a challenging route but so rewarding. The Bay View Inn does a great fish 'n' chips and we even had a yummy pizza delivered from La Bocca in Bude. All things considered, an amazing holidayt!"

Made us feel welcome and at home

Couldn't find fault with this property. Beautifully presented with everything required for a comfortable holiday. The facilities provided for us and the dogs made us feel welcome and at home. The extra gifts were a lovely touch and very thoughtful. We would highly recommend this property to anyone with dogs that like a touch of luxury - not often found with dog friendly properties. Thank you.

It is the cleanest dog friendly holiday cottage we have ever stayed in

“We have just had a fabulous week in Gwelmor in Widemouth Bay. The bungalow is situated in a quiet residential area but a stone’s throw from the beach. It is the cleanest dog friendly holiday cottage we have ever stayed in, beautifully furnished but practical for our two Newfys, with a lovely enclosed garden and open lounge/kitchen area... A huge 5 stars from us all.”
