Gwel Mor

Located down a flower-lined country lane, this five-bedroom family home is brimming with Cornish charm. Known by the Cornish term for “sea view”, it looks out across rolling pastures and towards the distant Atlantic. Take children to Trevathan Farm (1 mile) and tuck into hearty pub lunches or try coasteering, sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding at Port Gaverne (2.5 miles). Discover the cobbled lanes and whitewashed cottages of Port Isaac (2 miles), where you can visit filming locations from Doc Martin and Fisherman’s Friends. Surfers will love Polzeath (3.5 miles), where the scenic South West Coast Path leads to nature spots Pentire Point and The Rumps (4.5 miles). Rock (5.5 miles) offers sailing, water-skiing and wildlife-spotting sea safaris, plus a long sandy beach linking to Daymer Bay (5 miles) at low tide.

Step inside to a bright and welcoming farmhouse kitchen with slate flooring, a double Belfast sink and a generous island, plus everything you need for meal prep. The sunny dining room, with its long table and floor-to-ceiling glass doors, opens onto the patio so you can dine with a breeze and garden views. Two inviting lounges await – a snug with a Smart TV and a spacious living room in calming coastal hues, complete with plush sofas and a crackling wood burner – fab for film nights or board games. There’s also a handy utility room with all the kit for laundry days, and a downstairs WC. Upstairs, five serene bedrooms, all with Smart TVs, promise restful nights. The first is a super-king-size with countryside glimpses of the sea. The second, also a super-king-size (with zip-and-link beds), has an en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom is also a super-king-size with zip-and-link beds, with an en-suite shower room and balcony access. The final two bedrooms, both twins with zip-and-link beds, have lovely views. There’s also a fresh family shower room with a rainfall shower.

Outside, a furnished patio offers the perfect spot for al fresco feats in the sun while the kids run wild on the spacious lawn. Beyond the garden awaits a fantastic outdoor heated swimming pool lined with sun loungers for days of pure bliss. The pool is available from the end of April to September. Guests will also benefit from ample driveway parking.
