We loved the spaciousness of this house - it was perfect for our three generations to relax separately or gather for meals and games. The place was spotless, comfyand had everything we needed for a great week’s stay. Definitely recommend!
Emma Carter
Our family had such a lovely stay at Dowr Gwel! The house comfortably suited all 4 generations and had everything we needed. We spent most of our days relaxing at Bude’s beach, soaking up the sunshineand evenings just chilling in the house. Truly a fantastic getaway, thanks so much!

Emma Roberts
We recently stayed at Dowr Gwel and honestly, it’s a little slice of heaven. The place was spotless when we arrivedand the warm welcome pack was a lovely touch. The house itself is beautifully designed, with comfy furnishings, a hot tuband a games room that kept us entertained. The gardens and views are stunning too. The owners, Greg and Steph, sorted out a couple of tiny issues super quickly-really appreciated their help. We’d definitely come back, it’s a top spot!

Emma
We stayed for three nights with a group of eight and honestly, it was spot on. The owners were super friendly and made us feel right at home. The place was spotless, with fresh eggs from their chickens waiting for us. The hot tub was a real highlight. We’ll definitely return!
Laura
This place was lovely, with charming decorand really felt like a perfect weekend spot for us.
Emma
Great space for our birthday bash!
James
We had a really lovely stay here. Everything we needed was thereand the place is spotlessly clean. The walk into town takes about half an hour if you find the right footpath at the top of the road, which cuts through the school grounds. The hot tub was just what we needed for some proper relaxation. The Kings Arms in the village is well worth a visit, but booking is essential, especially for Sunday roasts. Great value for money and clearly a lot of effort has gone into making this a perfect holiday spot by Greg and Steph. We’d definitely come back!
Ellie Brooks
We had an amazing stay! Greg and Steph made us feel really welcome, even with a lovely hamper and fresh eggs from their chickens-cute! The house is perfect for both relaxing alone and hanging out with friends, thanks to the big open kitchen and games room. After a day of surfing or walking, unwinding in the hot tub under the stars was just what we needed. Definitely a lovely spot to base your adventures. We’ll be back for sure!
