Services & Local Area

Local attractions include the Camel Creek Adventure Park, located 4 km away, and St. Eval Church, about 7 km from the resort. Public transport is accessible via the St Columb Major bus stop within walking distance, providing easy access to nearby towns such as Newquay and Wadebridge.

“The spacious barns with hot tubs caught my eye, seemingly designed for families seeking both adventure and a bit of luxury in the Cornish countryside; it's not every day you find a resort boasting its own FlowRider alongside an Aqua Park. I think it's a great advantage to be dog-friendly, with such comprehensive recreational and dining facilities. It certainly seems like a relaxing retreat with a dash of excitement.”

Retallack offers a lovely base for exploring North Cornwall. The lodges are spacious and the staff is friendly and welcoming. However, maintenance issues and inconsistent water pressure detracted from our stay, and some areas appear to need updating to meet the five-star standards claimed by the resort.

Our stay at Retallack was a mix of highs and lows. On one hand, the lodges were well-equipped and offered everything we needed. On the other hand, service and dining options were a letdown, especially due to the staffing issues. The aqua park is a definite highlight for families, but the overall experience could be improved.

Our stay at Retallack was a family affair, filled with fun activities and great facilities for everyone. The accommodations were spacious and provided everything we needed. The staff were responsive to our needs, making our trip more enjoyable. However, the TV signal was a bit unreliable at times, which was a minor issue for us since we spent most of our days outdoors enjoying the activities. Overall, it was a lovely experience with some room for improvement.

The lodge at Retallack Resort had some lovely aspects, such as its spaciousness and well-equipped kitchen, but unfortunately, it fell short in cleanliness and maintenance. The staff were friendly, but the service felt inexperienced at times. While the various activities like the aqua park added fun for families, the overall condition of the property and the noise from ongoing construction detracted from the experience.
