\"Gwel<\/p>\n

Landal Gwel an Mor sits on the hillside above Portreath on Cornwall’s north coast, with a woodland path running down to the village and its sandy beach. One day you’re surfing and rock pooling, the next you’re doing nothing more strenuous than a swim, a sauna and a long lunch with a sea view. If you’re comparing Landal Cornwall breaks, this is the one with the most going on.<\/p>\n

Guests get a heated pool, treatment rooms, a fishing lake, a golf course and three floors of soft play, all a short walk from the lodge door. Below you’ll find what’s on site, the sister parks in the county, and another lodge park nearby if your dates are full.<\/p>\n

Where is Landal Gwel an Mor?<\/h2>\n

The resort is on Feadon Lane, Portreath (postcode TR16 4PE). Take the short walk through the resort’s woodland and you’re in the old fishing village, where the beach is ideal for surfing, sunbathing and building sandcastles with the whole family. The resort puts it at about a mile.<\/p>\n

Portreath is also the start of the Coast to Coast trail, an 11 mile, mostly off-road route along old mineral tramways to Devoran on the south coast. Hire bikes on site and you can ride it from the lodge.<\/p>\n

Three miles inland, Tehidy Country Park<\/a> is the largest area of woodland in west Cornwall, with 250 acres and over nine miles of paths, and it’s a local favourite for dog walks. Godrevy is about five miles west. Walk out along the clifftop to Mutton Cove at low tide and you’ll often see grey seals hauled out on the sand below, especially in autumn, when hundreds have been counted. Bring binoculars.<\/p>\n

For galleries and beaches, St Ives<\/a> makes a lovely day out at around 16 miles, while Bedruthan Steps<\/a>, up the coast past Newquay, is one of the great viewpoints of the north coast.<\/p>\n

On site at the Gwel an Mor resort<\/h2>\n

You could easily spend a week without moving the car. All the facilities below are inside the resort gates. Some need booking ahead, so guests should ask at reception on arrival.<\/p>\n

Gwel an Mor spa, pool and gym<\/h3>\n

Indoor pool, sauna and steam room<\/h4>\n

The indoor heated swimming pool has water walkers and splash features for the kids, plus a whirlpool, a sauna and a steam cabin for the grown ups. There’s a fitness room too, if you can face it after breakfast.<\/p>\n

Treatments and massages<\/h4>\n

Facials, massages and nail treatments run in the Wellbeing Spa, which the resort says opens between 9am and 6pm depending on the time of year.<\/p>\n

Base Camp and the sensory park<\/h3>\n

Base Camp soft play<\/h4>\n

Three floors of soft play, ball pits, slides and a climbing wall keep toddlers and teenagers busy whatever the weather. It’s open daily from 9.30am to 6pm, with an extra charge. Parents can sit in the Base Camp Café while the kids burn off energy.<\/p>\n

The sensory park<\/h4>\n

Outside, a wheelchair-accessible play area is designed with neurodivergent children in mind.<\/p>\n

Gwel an Mor fishing and golf<\/h3>\n

Clover Fishing Lake<\/h4>\n

Clover is a two-acre coarse fishing lake with 12 roomy swims. Guests can book half a day, a full day, a night or a full 24 hours. Anyone 13 or over needs an Environment Agency rod licence. It’s a lovely quiet spot first thing, before the rest of the resort wakes up.<\/p>\n

The Famous Nine golf course<\/h4>\n

The nine-hole, par 3 course copies the ideas of some of the world’s best holes. It’s short enough for a round before dinner!<\/p>\n
