Very well equipped and comfortable home, providing everything needed whatever the weather. Lovely garden (great for children who love to kick a ball). Hot tub provided excellent fun every day. Games room best weve ever had with everything working and in good condition. Comfy bedrooms -all with TV, and 2 with en-suite. Plenty of parking for 3 cars.

A wonderful property in a very central location. The property was spotlessly clean and a lot larger than expected, with plenty of room for a party of 7 adults and 2 children. All amenities were catered for, kitchen utensils, handsoap, towels for hot tub etc. We managed to fit 4 hatchback size vehicles in the driveway and still room to close the fRead moreront gates. Owners were always on hand if needed but left you in privacy at the same time. Hot tub was fantastic, games room was a great addition and good level garden for the kids to run around. Just found it a little difficult to access the garden and games room with small children, via the outside spiral stairs to get down there. Great location with a 5 min drive to Bude, with Morrisons and Sainsbury's on hand and a fantastic leisure complex with swimming, bowling and soft play for the little ones. Would definately recommend this property to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in Cornwall and will be booking again. Hide

Thoroughly recommend this house / venue! We were a family of six and had a lovely holiday. The house was very well equipped, clean and spacious. The games room was tremendous, with darts, pool & air hockey keeping everyone entertained, whilst the garden (including a hot tub) was perfect for relaxing in the sunshine.

Dowr Gwel is a gem of a property. Upon arrival we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and a spotlessly clean home. Everything about the home is first class including the design, the furnishings/fixtures/fittings, hot tub, games room, gardens, views and location. Two very minor issues upon arrival were dealt with quickly and efficiently by the oRead morewners Greg and Steph who are always on hand if required, but never intrusive. Thank you both. This house scores 11 out of 10. Would definitely return. Hide
