The weather has been mixed but that hasn't stopped us enjoying our holiday. The property is well equipped and very comfortable. We appreciate all the extras for both humans and dogs - thank you so much! Widemouth Bay cafe is lovely and we had a lovely roast dinner at Black Rock cafe on Tuesday - excellent value at £12.50 for two courses! We had several visits to Bude and had a tasty lunch at the Brendon Arms - very dog and toddler friendly. We aso spotted Malcolm (the Mandarin duck) on the canal which delighted our grandson. Gwelmor itself is ideally situated for the beach and is amazingly quiet too with excellent view of the starry sky on cloud free nights. We loved everything about the bungalow - decor, comfort, fully enclosed garden etc etc etc!
Despite the weather (rain most days) we have enjoyed our stay here. It's a real home from home. Love all the paintings and especially the shoal of fish in the main living area. Hope to be back in the future. Thank you for sharing with us. We can recommend The Bank restaurant, Petherick's Mill. Lively and very tasty food.
Return visitors from 2019 and another wonderful experience in your beautiful home. We love widemouth Bay and have enjoyed walking to the beach and enjoying the beautiful views. Your place is always stunningly beautiful and clean and we love all of its little quirks/extras.
Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful house. Amber & her humans loved walking on the beach every day & Amber particularly enjoyed the underfloor heating! Everything was just perfect for Amber's first family holiday. Many thanks
Well, another fabulous week comes to an end. So sad to be leaving our 'home in Cornwall'. Thank you Jayne for all the comforts you provide. We'll be back! (Again!)
We had a fab 5 days, wish it could have been longer, returning after 2 years away. Thank you for everything, we will be back again.
We had a truly wonderful 10 nights here - thank you! The house had everything we needed as a family with three young children and we loved how easy it was to walk down to the beach every day. I hope we have the opportunity to come back one day.
Amazingly equipped house - for both humans and dogs! We had a great time, our furry friends included! The weather was gorgeous all week, great location of the home meant we were always down at the beach. Will definitely be recommending this home! Thank you for a lovely stay.
Had a lovely week at Gwelmor. The house is lovely and has everything you could possibly need. The enclosed garden was great and we didn't need to worry about Hector getting out. Had some really nice pub food and takeaways too. Thank you for the goodies, Hector enjoyed your letter and the biscuits.
Our second visit to Gwelmor and it didn’t disappoint, again! It's so lovely to be able to stay in a really comfy, clean, luxury place, but one that is still very dog friendly. Great facilities. Fantastic location too - where else can you get peace and quiet but be only five minutes from a Cornish beach! Our two Jacks loved their morning bundles on the beach before breakfast. See you again soon….
What a wonderful week we've had at Gwelmor! Clean, tidy well-equipped and well located holiday home. Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful stay. We even had great weather. House is very comfortable and everything we could need provided. A lovely beach for walkies just down the road. Thanks again
Another wonderful week at Gwelmor. So sad to be leaving this morning but we'll see you very soon! Lots of love Karen, Steve and Verne. P.S Verne says: Thank you for the biscuits Auntie Jayne!
Lovely stay & fantastic weather. So quiet compared with home (on Heathrow flightpath). House very comfy & has everything you need. Twiggy loved the beach & really loved the dog biscuits. Thanks
We have really enjoyed our stay in this lovely holiday home. Gwelmor has everything you need and it is very comfy and cosy. The welcome biscuits went down well and all the doggy extras were really welcome and very useful. The property is lovely and quiet and the garden very secure for our two dogs.
Great place to stay with dogs, even when it was tipping down with rain. There were good walks to be had away from the beach, the river at Boscastle because a favourite and the Bude Canal has a made up path so not too muddy. Gwelmor was well stocked with dog towels, etc (my sister was amused to find a special paw-wash pot in the cupboard for her JRT). Our pointer would have been very happy simply running in the dunes all day!! We had everything we needed and more at Gwelmor, definitely one of the best self catering places we've stayed in over many years. Sorry the week is over
Another wonderful week at Gwelmor and the weather held up for us all week! We revisited old favourites and again managed to find something new for us. The Tamar Lakes and a superb meal at The Bank (very dog friendly) and great service. Marley had a great time on all the beach walks and visiting all the shops that give him a biscuit! We will be back, hopefully later in the year.
Another wonderful stay at Gwelmor. A perfect base for touring around Cornwall and also Devon. So many brilliant dog friendly days out - Boscastle, Padstow, Rock, Port Isaac and even back to one of our favourites Lynmouth (although a slight distance and into Devon we love the river walk! As always Gwelmor has everything you could possibly need. Thank you! Looking forward to another return very soon.
This is our second time at Gwelmor and, hopefully won't be our last! We've had a brilliant week, despite the very windy weather. We enjoyed a sunny day at Boscastle and braved the Bude Sea pool this week too. We would recommend The Cornish Pie Company in Bude for a warm, dog-friendly experience after a bracing Bude walk. We also had a lovely meal at Widemouth Manor and a few hot drinks at the Widemouth Cafe on the beach. Gwelmor has everything we needed for a truly relaxing break. Many thanks.
Well once again a super stay and this time it came with dry warm weather. As before we walked the feet off the dogs... and off us too. Though they seemed to recover far quicker than any of us!! The Beach house 'roast on the coast' was super and so friendly and we had a lovely meal at Widemouth Manor too. A fantastic week full of magnificent views. So, so chilled. We will be back!
We've literally lost count of the number of times we have stayed at our home away from home over the last six years. We've had yet another great week as guests of our brilliant hosts Jayne and Bill. Gwelmor is a warm and very welcome haven set in a fantastic location. We hope to return again one day!
What a place! Every need catered for in wonderful surroundings. The house is well equipped with every eventuality catered for. If you're a foodie the kitchen is well equipped for every dish. There were only two of us but the property can house 6 with room to spare and in comfort. The beds are comfy and a good size. Our dogs were spoiled with treats and blankets The dog towels are a great idea which saves on packing and the enclosed garden allowed me to relax. Widemouth Bay is a short walk away and although the beach is pebbly a good walk can be had. So despite horizontal rain we had a fantastic time
As you enter through the front door at 'Gwelmor' you can't help think WOW, it's clean, fresh and beautifully presented throughout. It's so well equipped for humans and animals alike. Cosy bedrooms, comfy beds, vast living area, lovely safe enclosed garden and lots of little extras you might need for your stay. Just a short walk to the stunning beach...doggy heaven, interesting pebbles and great surf. Had a great hot chocolate at the beach cafe. I highly recommend 'Gwelmor' and would definitely like to return one day. Thank you for my prize, I've loved sharing it with my family. Caroline, Paul, Charlotte, Steve, Milo, Alex, Leah, Leo, Rosie and Barley the cat🐾
1st time staying at Gwelmor, best place we have ever stayed at, great for our dogs, they relaxed straight away and so did we. We brought essentials but all was here, salt, pepper, oil, everything is here that you need. We will certainly come again. Unfortunately our dog was ill before we came, diabetes, a high blood pressure and Jayne was so kind and understanding and accommodated all our dogs as we normally leave 2 behind when we come away. We did have to leave a little early as Molly was poorly, but our stay here was wonderful, beds comfy, slept very well, nice quiet area. Thank you
My second visit to the enchanting Gwelmor, it really is a home from home for us with facilities aplenty for myself and my Cockapoo Milly! Lovely quiet retreat with the beautiful wild coast of Widemouth Bay a short walk away. We will be back!
Back again for our 7th visit and once again Gwelmor has been everything we hoped for and more - even storm Ciaran couldn't spoil our fun as the house is so cosy and quiet. Coastal path to Bude is always a favourite walk and Milky Way Adventure Park a big hit with the 6 year old. The house is so well equipped, including dog supplies, which we were very grateful for as we packed in a hurry and forgot Arlo's bowls. We all slept so soundly - a combination of lots of fresh air and the super comfy beds! We hope to return soon
We had such a lovely stay, this home is absolutely beautiful. Everything we needed and more! The doggy extras were very much appreciated! Mavi, Kojo and Bubu loved it here! Sandy beaches, walks and cosy nights in... They felt really welcome and settled right in. Perfect for a pooch friendly holiday!
Friday the 13th - usually dubbed as unlucky, however it was extremely lucky for us as we discovered Gwelmor! We have had the most wonderful week regardless of some of the challenging weather. Gwelmor is the best cottage we have ever stayed in. It was so lovely knowing our dogs are as welcome as us, it has everything we could possibly need. The beach is so close and a great place to wear out our three border collies. They loved it as much as we have. Thanks Jayne, Bill, Indy and Margo for sharing you home.
After a worrying year we arrived and it felt like coming home. The ocean, the beach and walks its been a pure joy to be here in this lovely place. Thank you Gwelmor thank you.
We've been coming to Gwelmor for 4 years now - another lovely week and we fell lucky with the weather. Cottage always really well equipped. Dogs love the beach and our toddler (19 months) loved it too, as well as watering all the plants outside! We would recommend parking at The Weir and then walking down the canal to Bude. Food at The Bank at Bude is amazing, as was the food at Coombe Barton Inn in Cracking Haven. The Milky Way is excellent value for a day out with toddlers (adults loved it too!) Already booked again for next year
Another wonderful week at Gwelmor - it's like walking into a hug! Until next time
We have had another lovely stay at Gwelmor despite the weather being so hot for our dog! The beach has been a lifeline and there is plenty of shade in the garden. We thoroughly recommend Sandymouth when the tide is going out/coming in for a cooling swim and the cafe is great too. We look forward to returning again next Spring in the cooler weather.
With or without a dog, this place is fitted for all eventualities. We came with a dog by the way 'Cluedo' and he loved all the space this property gives you. We are thankful for all of the help with the beach ware in the garage. Next time we can travel so much lighter :) Cluedo is still unsure of the sea but did have a paddle. Thank you once again for a wonderful place to stay and rest from the slog of work. This is a haven for all who choose to stay.
Amazing as always. Beautiful house and stunning scenery. Indy (our dog) loved her stay here just like the rest of us, hope to come again.
Gorgeous setting with the beach only a short stroll away perfect for a doggie paddle in the sea. House is perfect and has a very homely and warm feeling. Dog absolutely loved her time on the beach. Thank you Jayne for your welcome and lovely house - we've had a great break away. Widemouth and Bude are great places to stay!
We have had the most wonderful week's holiday at Gwelmor! It is very comfortable, very clean and very well presented. Jayne has thought of everything both for humans and the dogs! A fantastic home away from home. Thank you.
A home from home. Jayne has really thought of everything. The house is stunning and so comfortable love the area too. We'll be back very soon.
Our first stay at Gwelmor and it has been a wonderfully relaxing break. We're already looking at diaries to see when we can return!! This really is a 'home from home' and our 3 dogs loved the garden (peace of mind being so secure when have escapees!) It's so hard to find somewhere truly 'dog friendly' but Jayne and Bill really have considered everything. Perfect for sandy walks on the beach at the end of the road and as a base for travelling around nearby Cornwall. Boscastle well worth a visit. Looking forward to returning again very soon. Thank you!
Another amazing stay in our favourite holiday home! Fabulous walks on the Coast Path, lazy days on the beach, delicious lunches at Boscastle and The Weir and ice-creams a-plenty. Truly wonderful multi-generational stay with grandma, great aunty, parents and two kids. Thank you
The house is stunning everything you would want is provided. The few questions we had Jayne replied promptly. It truly is dog friendly and not just dog tolerated. The treats left for all of us, dogs included, were a lovely touch. The house is in a perfect position for day trips out and the beach. Already booked for next year.
We had a wonderful stay at Gwelmor A perfect location for the beach in a quiet setting. The garden is so safe for the dogs and it’s great to sit out in the patio area. Everything you could possibly need was there, for humans and dogs alike! The bungalow is stunning and exceedingly well equipped.
Marley and his humans had a lovely stay, despite the showers. Although having been to Widemouth for several years we had not stayed here before. We will definitely be back, hopefully later this year. As always we have enjoyed our lunch at Widemouth Manor who are extremely dog friendly. Thank you.
Wonderful short break after winning the holiday prize with 'Dog Friendly' magazine. Brought 2 'old' friends with us and, of course, our GSD Savannah. Lovely bungalow, everything you could ask for and more, so comfy & restful and a smashing garden. Sorry we have to go home! Thank you Gwelmor and Dog Friendly Magazine.
Had a wonderful family break, Finley included! All the doggie extras were a lifesaver. Lovely modern fixtures and fittings - thank you 'Dog Friendly' - as wouldn't have found this great place without their emails! Thanks Jayne and Bill
Gwelmor always delivers!! The Beach Bar is a great place to eat. The walks are really good, and of course the beach is fantastic. This is our fourth stay and it is always sad having to go home, but at least we have the next visit to look forward to. Thank you.
Our first time at Gwelmor and we will be back. We wanted for nothing! The house was perfect and in a perfect position. A short walk to the beach every morning, and evening sometimes, and the coastal path glorious. The food at The Beach House was great and they happily welcomed two wet, sandy collies into their midst. Next time Crackington Haven! The perfect place for a perfect birthday. Thank you.
We have been coming to Gwelmor once or twice a year for the past six years - you could say that we like it! Jayne and Bill are amazing hosts, nothing is too much trouble for their guests. The accommodation is always sparkling clean and well equipped. Just the two of us have stayed here with our three fur babies over the years and they have had wonderful holidays running on the sand and chasing in the water. Now we visit with fewer dogs but more children and grandchildren. Gwelmor is a great place to stay for either dogs or humans! Widemouth Bay is a fantastic location in itself but also a great base for exploring the wider location. We never tire of visiting our old favourite spots and are still making new discoveries along this stunning coastline. We’re already booked in again for next year!
Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property, it always felt like we were returning to a home not a holiday property each day. We loved the Beach House for a drink and meal, laid back and very dog friendly with lovely food. We booked very last minute & everything was perfect, will definitely be returning.
We wanted for nothing. Thank you so much for all the information, an amazing location and a fantastic property. We will be back.
Lovely houses, everything that we needed. Very comfortable and spacious. Thanks
