Retallack Resort

A great place to stay. Very relaxing and peaceful with a small lake. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. We stayed in one with a hot tub which was great. In the daylight it feels like it will be overlooked but when it is dark it felt quite private as other places near us didn’t have hot tubs so people weren’t outside. Close to Padstow and the A30, so easy to get to lots of places. We will definitely return

Great location, friendly staff and nice accommodation. Pool & facilities clean. Treatments expensive. Accommodation not cleaned very well & heating wasn’t working. Outside areas scruffy and the speed bumps were horrendous!

On arriving they are so dog friendly, everyone who saw Bruno was giving loves. It was such a warm welcoming! Driving down to the lodges was a bit unscenic. There was a lot of building works going on but as soon as you hit the lodges the view changes and it’s gorgeous again. The lodge is beautiful. There is a few bits that need a bit of attention such as some of the wallpaper in the living room had tiny bits missing, the shower looked a bit outdated at the bottom and there was a couple of chips in the floor. The sofa sets outside were a bit mouldy but I think this could be resolved of a wash and perhaps providing guests with covers to put over during the rain? The cleanliness of the place though was unmatched. Everything was pristine and the cleaners are constantly about all day. The sofa was incredibly comfortable and the beds. The bath was fantastic and the facilities in general were lovely. Had a great stay!

Lovely stay at Retallack with our young son and dog. Lodge was well equipped and had modern furnishings, though was beginning to look a little worn in places e.g. Some stains on carpets and sofa etc and a few marks on walls - just a little bit of a refresh and repair required. Only other bit of feedback would be it would be great to have an area to let dogs off lead / have a nice walk around site. Overall however, brilliant accommodation and we had a great stay. Would recommend.

We loved the stair gates at the top and bottom of the stairs. The lodge was lovely and clean. Only issue is we didn’t have a tumble drier and weather was awful so had to put heating on to dry washing which then made us to hot. Would definitely recommend this lovely place and stay here again.

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!
