Retallack Resort

We really enjoyed our stay at the Retallack Resort, the location is great with all the towns and beaches being a short drive away. The accommodation; 2 bedroom Barn was excellent a home from home, modern, clean and very spacious! Our 2 teenagers had plenty of space and our room with ensuite felt very spacious. We used the swimming pool, gym and tennis courts which were looking a little tired and could do with up-grading but this didnt overly bother us still did the job and a bonus to have on-site. The bar/restaraunt was great for coffees and drinks - we ate one evening in the restaraunt basic food for the price so decided not to use again - we didnt try breakfast. The reception staff were extremely helpful and efficient - checking in was quick and very welcoming a good first impression. A great stay - will stay again!!

Pleasantly surprised as this was a new place for us. The places we usually stay are stunning but due to the wet weather we wanted to opt for somewhere with things the kids could do. The accommodation was fab, very clean and modern. It could have done with a few more kitchen utensils such as a chopping board. My only grumble was the pool is a bit grim, the sides were very dirty and the baby pool was yellow. The sauna was out of action and somebody smashed the steam room door which put the pool out of action due to glass in the water (this couldn’t be helped but still a disappointment) most of the water activities required children to be 8yrs old which ours aren’t so that left us a bit stuck. Most of the evening activities stopped on 31st August so again there wasn’t much for the kids. These weren’t disasters as they aren’t things we would normally have on our holiday but still it would have been nice if there were activities for the kids.

The Lodge was very clean and very well appointed and the park well laid out and quiet. The staff although friendly were not well informed and frequently we fell foul of poor information about facility opening times and the reception didn't seem to know what was going on. This should be easy to sort and would have made a huge difference to us as we missed restaurant closing times and even didn't participate in an event because we were told a cafe was closed that was open. Easy stuff to sort and nearly soured an excellent experience.

Great location and lovely properties. Clean, spacious and modern. 15 min drive into Padstow and great location for beaches. Would return. Note though, there is no golf course at this property and no slide at the pool.

Lovely lodges with lots of amenities. Staff were very friendly.

Luxury Barn stay in central rural location. Warm, modern and plenty of room!

We stayed in a ground floor lakeside apartment for a week in early June. The apartment itself was clean and had everything you needed from plates and cutlery to microwave and washer dryer. The weather was wet and cold when we were there so had to use the heating which worked well and their was plenty of hot water. The unit itself looked tired in places, vinyl plank flooring in kitchen looked like it had suffered water damage at some point, paint peeling on reveals around rear patio door and the shower tray leaked continuously which in turn was damaging the door frame and architrave. Woodwork on deck definitely needs attention, slippery when wet and looking worn. That said , the unit was very comfortable and so quiet at night. We loved feeding the ducks in the morning as they swam right up to balcony. If you rent a top floor apartment on the lake the balconies are small and set back from the waters edge. We didn't eat here so unable to comment on food but we did use the gym which was small but functional. The site itself is fairly remote which adds to the peace and tranquility, staff are very polite and helpful and there is a well stocked shop on site which isn't overpriced. Overall, i would recommend Retallack its still good value for money despite the negatives.

4 nights and we were very pleased with our accommodation, exceeded expectations

Facilities were great. Had a very luxurious & stylish finish. Although the weather wasn’t always up to scratch, the accommodation made up for it when we needed to be indoors. Spacious with everything you need. Loved the outdoor space too. Staff were extremely friendly, happy & helped with all our queries. Shop was well stocked. We generally ate out around Cornwall. Would highly recommend this place.

We’ve stayed a few times and love the size and finish of the property. The hot tub was great and it’s nice and close to the beaches. We’ll be back again.

Great place to stay, resort is always very clean and perfect location for a trip to Cornwall with Padstow, Rock, Watergate Bay all very close by.

Had a wonderful experience at the resort. Had all the necessary facilities with luxuries at the property.

Very good overall - would go back and stay again. I would say that the black 4 berth barns get very hot in the summer with no fans provided it can get very warm from 10-6pm. It would have been nice to have more amenities such as toilet rolls as we only had two provided for our Monday - Friday trip. Other than that it was very modern, double parking, felt safe and secure. We didn’t use any of the gym / pool facilities but will do next time we attend and our little man is a bit older (2 months old).

We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, lodge was clean, tidy and well equipped, lovely location, nice & peaceful

Overall a great stay. The reason for the average score to service was due to 2 of our 4 booked swim sessions being cancelled at the last minute during our stay. We stayed in a barn that was fantastic, I couldn’t fault it. However the gym was very poor, so small you couldn’t fit more that 2/3 people in. The sauna was broken so we couldn’t use it for our stay. The pool is tired and in need of an update. Having said all of that I would return just for barn which had a hot tub and the location. However if they update the gym and pool facilities it would be a full 5 stars!

As advertised, lovely reception staff. We had a small issue getting in the front door, but one call and an onsite maintenance man was there and fixed it!

Cheaper option as booked in January. Cottages are clean, modern and comfortable. On site restaurant was fully booked for both days we were there so book in advance. Easy reach of Padstow, Newquay, Mawgan Porth etc which I think are great in the winter months.

Good in general but the mattress quality was below what we were expecting. Few basic necessities like hand soap in bathrooms were missing. Barns were bit too close to each other which was a surprise.

The site is beautifully kept and very pretty. The accommodation and facilities was clean and well presented, although needed some TLC in places. Great flow rider.We had more than enough space for two adults and two teenagers in a 4 berth lodge and everything we needed. Staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Great lication for visiting the rest of Cornwall. We would definitely visit again.

It was okay, the lodge was warm throughout and it was nice to have a completely separate dwelling from others. The swimming facilities are good. Unfortunately there were a couple of things we had issues with, the cleanliness throughout the lodge was not up to standard; bathroom fixtures were faulty and moving; the lighting in the kitchen/lounge was terrible when it was dark outside, to the point that you couldn't really see what you were doing in the kitchen. A big disappointment was when we decided to go to the onsite restaurant "The Lookout Bar and Eatery" or Catch22; we didn't expect to be impressed and unfortunately it was worse that we could have expected, I ordered our food at 19:10 and we didn't receive our food until 19:50, they were not busy at all, it was only fish and chips they were cold and didn't taste good at all. It isn't unreasonable to expect better service than this at the price they are charging, I didn't complain at the time as our toddler was desperate to eat and it was better than nothing... I wouldn't stay there again.
