Gwelmor is a multi-award-winning family and dog-friendly holiday cottage in Widemouth Bay on the North Cornwall coast, just five minutes’ walk from the beach and close to the seaside town of Bude.
Ideally located, our spacious self-catering cottage offers the perfect base for a relaxing Cornish beach holiday with family and dogs.
Contemporary, comfortable and thoughtfully designed, Gwelmor sleeps six guests in three bedrooms and is laid out entirely on one level, making it ideal for families and multi-generational stays. The cottage features a bright and sociable living space and a fully enclosed garden, allowing children and dogs to play safely while you unwind after a day exploring the coast.
Just minutes from the sand, guests can enjoy everything Widemouth Bay has to offer, from two miles of golden beach and excellent surfing to scenic walks along the South West Coast Path.
Gwelmor has built a reputation as one of the best dog-friendly holiday cottages in Cornwall, previously being named Dog Friendly Business of the Year at the South West Tourism Excellence Awards and earning more than 100 five-star guest reviews.
Check-in day is Friday, but if you have alternative dates or a different length of stay in mind, please feel free to get in touch at gwelmor@mail.com

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.
No food (only cakes) served here but is a cracking little place to while away an hour or so over a delicious cup of coffee or feshly prepared juice. Combined with George & Mills interiors, this gorgeous coffee shop is littered with loads of funky kitchen and lounge wear you never realised you needed. A definite must visit and I challenge you to come out empty handed!
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.
Stay at Gwelmor, a holiday cottage in Widemouth Bay with EV charging, private parking and beach just minutes away. Perfect for exploring North Cornwall.
