Family-Friendly Luxury at Gwel an Mor: A Cornish Getaway
After a busy season packed with work and school commitments, our family was in need of a well-deserved escape. Gwel an Mor, perched on the scenic north coast of Cornwall, promised just that. Overlooking the charming Portreath Beach, this resort offered the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, ideal for recharging our spirits and creating lasting memories.
From the moment we stepped into our luxury three-bedroom lodge, we felt a sense of comfort and relaxation. The spacious living area, with its cozy furnishings and modern fireplace, was a welcoming sight. The master suite, with its en-suite bathroom, provided a peaceful retreat for us parents, while the boys were thrilled with their room. The highlight for them was undoubtedly the jacuzzi bath in the bathroom, complete with a TV, which made evening baths an exciting event.
The deck, equipped with a hot tub, quickly became our favorite spot. Soaking in the hot tub while taking in the stunning views of Portreath Beach and the rolling Cornish countryside was a blissful way to end each day. We often enjoyed barbecuing on the deck in the evenings, savoring delicious meals together under the stars.
Our days were filled with activities that kept everyone entertained and engaged. The boys loved the indoor heated pool, where they spent hours splashing around while we relaxed nearby. Feadon Farm, located within the resort, was a magical experience for our younger children, who delighted in meeting and feeding the animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, reindeer, and even foxes. When the weather was less cooperative, the indoor play area at Base Camp was perfect. The soft play structures and climbing walls kept our boys happily occupied for hours. A short drive to Godrevy Beach allowed us to enjoy a family surf lesson, where even our youngest caught a wave with the help of the patient instructors.
Each morning began with a farmyard breakfast at the Yurt, featuring fresh, local produce. The boys eagerly devoured the hearty offerings, from scrambled eggs and bacon to pancakes drizzled with Cornish honey. The relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff made every meal a delightful experience.
One of the many conveniences of Gwel an Mor is the option to order food packs filled with fresh local produce. This thoughtful service meant we didn’t have to worry about a supermarket trip following the inevitable long journey down to Cornwall, allowing us to start our vacation stress-free. While the staff at Gwel an Mor were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile.
Gwel an Mor truly understands the needs of families, offering a seamless blend of comfort and fun-filled activities. Whether it was climbing at Base Camp, interacting with animals at the farm, or simply relaxing in the hot tub, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Our Cornish vacation at Gwel an Mor provided the ideal mix of adventure and relaxation, making it a memorable escape for our family. For those looking to explore Cornwall while enjoying excellent accommodations and a variety of activities, Gwel an Mor has it all.
