Ownership with a CORNISH OUTLOOK
Compelling reasons to buy at Gwel an Mor.
Owning a coastal holiday home in Cornwall is nothing new, but the offer at Gwel an Mor is a cut above the average. Located above Portreath on the north coast, this private development combines intelligent design and a high standard of build quality, with long-term security and year-round access. For those seeking a coastal retreat that functions equally well as an investment, a family base, or a holiday let, it presents a compelling case.
At a time when many holiday homes face uncertainty over council tax surcharges and short-term let restrictions, Gwel an Mor’s properties are exempt from the second home levy and come with a 999-year lease. There’s a 12-month holiday licence too, meaning owners can enjoy their lodge at any time of year without the limitations faced by many traditional holiday parks.
This combination of longevity and freedom is rare, and it helps explain why ownership here feels less like a lifestyle gamble and more like a strategic investment with lasting value.
For many buyers, mortgaging a holiday home is essential. Unlike most lodges, which fall outside mainstream lending criteria, the lodges at Gwel an Mor are built to full residential building regulations and are fully mortgageable. That opens the door to a far broader group of buyers, particularly those looking to offset their outlay through holiday letting or family use across the seasons.
Two distinct styles of lodge are available. The new Scandinavian Lodges, launched at a starting price of £189,995, are a first for Gwel an Mor. Built in timber with a pitched roof and bold, angular lines, they offer openplan living on the upper floor, with sea views from a glass-fronted balcony. Downstairs, you’ll find two to three bedrooms, including an ensuite master, as well as a private veranda and a double-parking bay. For buyers with an eye on rental potential, they represent an attractive price point with strong guest appeal, helping to offset ongoing ownership costs.
Signature Lodges, priced from £295,995, take things further. These single-storey homes feature contemporary interiors with an emphasis on sustainability: smart heating, underfloor warmth, robust insulation and even solar-powered EV charging. All have a hot tub, and all enjoy either countryside or coastal views. While the styling is subtle, the infrastructure is anything but; these are serious holiday homes built with year-round comfort in mind.
Beyond the lodges, it’s the park’s wider offer that seals the deal for many owners. On-site facilities (open 11 months a year) include a well-equipped gym, a spa, a swimming
pool and a nine-hole golf course. An onsite restaurant serves regionally sourced food.
Then there’s Feadon Wildlife Centre, where guests can book close-up encounters with owls, snakes, meerkats, reindeer and more.
The park offers a comprehensive letting scheme designed to help owners offset the annual running costs of holiday home ownership. By continually enhancing the onpark experience to encourage repeat bookings, Gwel an Mor provide owners with peace of mind, knowing their holiday home is well cared for even when they’re not using it.
For those who may not have previously considered lodge ownership, Gwel an Mor presents a fresh alternative – combining the privacy of a second home with the warmth and connection of a village-like community. It’s an approach that appeals to families, retirees, investors and relocators alike.
For those in search of a Cornwall base without the red tape and running costs of a traditional second home, Gwel an Mor offers something grounded in logic, supported by infrastructure and a location to fall in love with.

Retreat IN STYLE
Explore the benefits of owning a luxury holiday home at Retallack Resort, with its exceptional on-site facilities just minutes from the coast.
There’s a unique joy in returning to a place that feels entirely your own, especially when it offers the kind of luxury, freedom and comfort found at Retallack Resort. Just ten minutes from the foodie haven of Padstow and Cornwall’s dramatic north coast, this countryside retreat offers the rare chance to own a piece of Cornwall without compromise. Here, fully furnished holiday homes start from just £149,950, delivering not only a beautifully finished space but also a lifestyle that makes every return feel like the best kind of homecoming.
Holiday home ownership at Retallack is refreshingly simple. With a 999-year lease, owners are assured long-term peace of mind, while selected properties come free from stamp duty and legal fees making the process as stress-free as the holidays themselves. Step through the door of your new property and everything is ready for you: from stylish interiors to spacious outdoor decking, each
home is thoughtfully designed for ease and enjoyment. Many even come with the option of a private hot tub, perfect for soaking up the serenity of the countryside under star-studded skies.
But perhaps what sets Retallack apart is the ease of ownership. Everything is turnkey. There’s no renovation, no furnishing, and no to-do list, just your very own Cornish escape, ready to enjoy from day one. And when you’re not using it? There’s the opportunity to earn a healthy income by subletting through the resort’s managed letting scheme. It’s a smart way to offset costs while giving other holidaymakers the chance to experience a slice of this Cornish paradise.
Unlike many holiday parks, Retallack is open all year, which means every season can be savoured in its own way. Whether it’s spring sunshine on a quiet coastal walk, summer fun with the family, or a cosy winter break with spa treatments and hot drinks by
the fire, the resort offers a true year-round escape. This kind of flexibility is perfect for families, couples, or anyone seeking a more permanent base to enjoy Cornwall in every season.
One of the standout features of life at Retallack is the wealth of on-site facilities that make every visit exciting, relaxing, or both. For those who love the water, Retallack is home to Cornwall’s only FlowRider surf simulator; a wave machine that lets guests of all skill levels ride the continuous wave, all without ever setting foot in the sea. It’s an adrenaline rush that appeals as much to kids as it does to adventurous adults. The on-site Aqua Park offers another splash-filled thrill: a floating playground of inflatables and obstacle-course fun that’s a hit with families and groups of friends alike, while the Wake Park provides adrenaline-fuelled fun either on a board or an exhilarating Ringo ride.
For more traditional water lovers, the indoor swimming pool offers a calm alternative ideal for morning laps or unwinding with the kids. There’s also a well-equipped gym for those wanting to stay active and the Esya Spa, a calming sanctuary offering treatments that range from deep tissue massages to restorative facials. Whether you’re recharging after a day exploring the coast or simply treating yourself to a little downtime, this is where the real world melts away.
When appetites kick in, The Lookout Bar & Eatery is a place to refuel and relax. With its welcoming, family-friendly vibe and hearty menus inspired by fresh local produce, it’s a hub for casual dining, weekend brunches and those long summer evenings over a glass of something chilled. Whether you’re eating in, grabbing a takeaway, or sharing stories over a Cornish ale, it’s all designed to make your time at Retallack easy and enjoyable.
It’s this blend of peace and play that makes Retallack so appealing. While the resort itself sits in gentle countryside, the wild beauty of the coast is moments away. A short drive takes you to Padstow’s famous harbour, the golden sands of Harlyn Bay, or the surfy buzz of Newquay. Coast paths beckon for long walks and hidden coves await discovery. Then, after a day of exploring, you return to calm: your own tranquil retreat, with a glass of something special on the deck and the gentle ripple of the lake as your evening soundtrack.
For those thinking long term, the financial sense stacks up too. From lakeside apartments to spacious three- and fourbedroom lodges, there are options to suit various budgets and aspirations. Selected properties are mortgageable and come with a 10-year warranty, and with dedicated advisors on hand, the buying process is made refreshingly smooth.
Ownership also comes with a host of perks; discounted spa treatments, food and drink offers, priority booking for on-site activities, and exclusive owner events, all designed to make every visit special. In a world where time away matters more than ever, Retallack offers something truly valuable: a chance to own your downtime, to create memories with loved ones, explore Cornwall at your leisure and invest not just in property, but in a lifestyle. For many, it’s the dream of Cornwall made real. And right now, it’s more within reach than ever.
