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 together under one roof but equally 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 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.
Gwelmor has parking for up to three vehicles and an Electric Vehicle charging point. When you pull up outside Gwelmor 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.
