Rooms & Amenities

The accommodations at Retallack Resort & Spa include two to six-bedroom exclusive barns and lodges, many offering picturesque views and private hot tubs. Each unit features modern amenities such as a fully equipped kitchen, a flat-screen TV, and upscale furnishings.

Dining & Nearby Options

Dining options include The Lookout Bar and Eatery which serves a selection of breakfast and light meals, ideal for unwinding after a day filled with activities. Guests can also enjoy snacks and refreshments at the Beach Cafe located by the water sports lake.

Leisure & Activities

Recreational facilities at Retallack Resort & Spa feature an indoor swimming pool, a health club, and an ESYA Spa offering a variety of treatments. Guests can engage in exciting water activities at the onsite Aqua Park and FlowRider, or participate in kids' activities like pottery painting and mini archery.

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.”

spacious lodgeclean beddingequipped kitchensimple access

the spacious four bedroom wooden lodge was a great surprise. bedding, towels, and robes looked clean. the fully equipped kitchen made self-catering easy. i found the hot tub lovely, and access to all facilities was simple.

the lodge decking lacked solid fencing and had large gaps. this meant our dogs and children could wander onto the road if unsupervised! i found that very concerning.

Rooms

the lodge included three bathrooms, this made it easy to get ready after swimming. cool linen and lighter duvets were perfect because of the hot weather, appreciated.
