Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Gunwalloe cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Gunwalloe vary, but you can find a great deal from £72 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Gunwalloe is best to stay in for beaches?
When looking for the best beaches in Gunwalloe, you'll want to stay in the immediate vicinity of Gunwalloe Church Cove or Porthleven.

Gunwalloe Church Cove is the heart of the area, known for its distinctive 13th-century church right on the sand. This small, sheltered cove is ideal for families due to its calm waters and the convenience of having facilities nearby. You'll find a National Trust car park and a small cafe, great for a day out with children. The beach itself is sandy and great for building sandcastles.

For those looking for a more expansive beach experience with a bit more activity, Porthleven, just a short drive or a pleasant walk along the South West Coast Path from Gunwalloe, offers a much larger pebble and sand beach. Porthleven is a working harbour village, so you'll find more dining options and shops here.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Gunwalloe?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Gunwalloe is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is at its warmest, with average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 22°C, making it ideal for enjoying the stunning beaches and coastal walks.

During this peak period, the area is bustling with visitors, and you'll find all local amenities and attractions fully operational. It's a fantastic time for families to enjoy the sandy coves and explore rock pools, or for couples to savour long evenings by the sea. Many local events, such as surf competitions and village fairs, are also scheduled for these months, adding to the vibrant setting.

As another option, May is another excellent time to visit. The weather is pleasantly mild, with temperatures typically between 12°C and 16°C, which is still lovely for coastal strolls and exploring the South West Coast Path. During May, you may find better value on hotel stays and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Gunwalloe with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Gunwalloe beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Gunwalloe?
The best beach activities to do in Gunwalloe centre around exploring the stunning coastline and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

For families, a visit to Church Cove is a must. This sheltered sandy beach is known for the tiny, ancient St Winwaloe Church, which is partially built into the sand dunes. It's a great spot for building sandcastles, paddling in the clear, shallow water, and exploring rock pools when the tide is out. The beach is easily accessible and offers a relaxed environment for a day by the sea.

Couples looking for a more adventurous experience might enjoy walking along the South West Coast Path, particularly the stretch leading from Church Cove towards the more dramatic landscape of Dollar Cove. This walk offers breathtaking views of the rugged cliffs and the chance to discover secluded coves. Dollar Cove itself is famous for its shipwreck history; rumour has it, Spanish treasure ships ran aground here, and sometimes coins are still found on the sand after storms. It's a fantastic spot for a scenic walk and a bit of beachcombing.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Gunwalloe as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Gunwalloe for you.
