About this property

Dating back to the beginning of the nineteenth century, Golmar 13, which has been restored respecting traditional methods and using local chestnut and stone, was originally the main house in the small hamlet of Golmar. The hamlet sits at the head of an untouched bowl-shaped valley some 200 metres above sea level on the seaward side of the densely forested ridge that separates the ría de Cedeira from the Atlantic. From its privileged position, the house enjoys what is possibly the most extensive coastal view in the whole of Spain; looking down across green fields, black cliffs, and 90km of sea and coast (all the way to the Islas Sisargas on the Costa de la Muerte). The hamlet forms a cul-de-sac, meaning that nobody passes through! Here you will find perfect tranquillity, the only sounds coming from the wind moving through the eucalyptus and the Atlantic swell breaking on the rocks far below. Dirt tracks and footpaths lead down to the cliffs or through the forest to one of Galicia's legendary lighthouses at Punta Candeleria. Walk about the hamlet at night, and you may well come across a wild horse, fox, or wild boar! By car, Golmar is a five minute drive from the fishing village of Cedeira, with its protected bay and beach, its shops, and famous tapas bars (the best percebes in Spain are supposedly collected from the base of its cliffs!) Drive for another 10 minutes and you come to the much photographed beach of Vilarrube, where a 1.5km stretch of fine white sand divides the mouths of two rivers that in a myriad of blues and greens (for ever changing with the state of the tide) run in to the far side of the ría de Cedeira. The beach is backed by a dune system with plants unique to this stretch of coast.

Accommodation at Golmar 13 is on two floors:
Downstairs:
Large drawing-room with open fire, French windows opening on to garden, and sea-view; dining-room with sea view; fully-fitted kitchen with original wood-burning stove; double bedroom with shower room.

I have found my second home.

I have now spent three summers in Golmar 13, and I can not imagine a summer in any other place. We are all different, and all we are looking for different characteristics of an accommodation. With that said, I would still say that this is a house that everyone would enjoy. It is one of the most beautiful and personal houses I stayed at, and it feels like a second home to me. The house itself is large and can accommodate many people. My friends and I usually spend 6 weeks in this house during the summer months, and it is held 12 people without any problem. The bedrooms are large, airy and have good natural light. The day can not be bad after waking up in these bedrooms. The beds are also large and comfortable. The house has two large living rooms, and these are perfect for a group to sit and hang out at. The rooms are large and have comfortable sofas, and one in the living room has a wide window overlooking the Atlantic. The second living room has a large fireplace, and here we have spent many wonderful evenings by the fireplace, playing cards and drinking tea. The kitchen is large and spacious, and the surfaces are good for cooking. There are also tables and chairs in the kitchen, so you can hang out there while cooking. There is also a lovely dining room where you can enjoy long dinners. And then it is the nature that surrounds the house. There is not much that beats it. The garden is really amazingly beautiful, and I love to spend long days in the shade under one of the trees in the garden. It is surrounded by green nature and eucalyptus trees, and dramatic cliffs along the coast. The view is spectacular, and the sunsets here are incredibly beautiful. Birds chirping day long, and you can really find a peace of mind when you're there. For families, this is a perfect destination to travel to. Because the house is so protected from major roads and traffic so the kids can run free and play. There is also much to do, and my friends and I usually spend several hours a day surfing on one of the beaches nearby. The waves are usually right size and good for beginners to learn on. The water is cold, but it's no problem if you acquire a good wetsuit. I've also got a very good picture of the wonderful host Andrew. He will always help if something is needed or has gone wrong. It feels safe to have him as a host. I can recommend this house with all of my heart. I hope for your sake that you go there. / Johanna

Traumhafte Aussicht (Fantastic views) - Golmar 13

Wir - eine Familie mit drei kleinen Kindern - waren Anfang August 2016 eine Woche in Golmar 13 und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Wir kamen von der Algarve mit 40°C und in Galicien ist es im August sehr angenehm warm. Golmar 13 bietet alles, was eine Familie benötigt - schöne und viele Zimmer mit verschiedenen Niveaus, zwei Bäder einen Garten mit traumhaften Ausblick und viel Spielzeug sowie eine Tischtennisplatte. Andrew und Maria waren immer für uns erreichbar. Die Gegend hat sehr schöne und viele Strände, die in der Hochsaison nicht überfüllt sind. Alles in allem eine sehr gute Destination Golmar 13. As a Family with 3 Young kids we stayed 1 week begin Aug 2016 at Golmar 13 and we enjoyed it very much. We arrived from the Algarve with 40°C and Galicia is very well in Terms of temperature in August. Golmar 13 is equipped with everything what you need for a family, especially the various rooms with different levels (my daughters loved their room with special linen and free-standing bath tub), two bath rooms, the garden with beautiful views and many toys as well as table tennis. Andrew and Maria were always reachable. The area has many fantastic beaches and even during high season it is not crowded. So overall Golmar 13 is a great destination.

Wonderful, stunning views

This is a wonderful retreat in an idyllic hamlet. Stunning views, great local walks, sea cliffs, swimming and surfing beaches,towns and seafood. The home is large, comfortable and beautifully furnished. The owners provided lots of helpful local information and were great to liaise with. Our two families had one of the best holidays ever.
