I had a mixed experience at the resort. The rooms were clean and spacious, which was a definite plus. However, I encountered a few issues with service, as some staff seemed overwhelmed and unresponsive at times. The location was convenient for visiting local attractions, and while I enjoyed some aspects of my stay, there were definitely areas that could use improvement.

We had a wonderful family break at Retallack, enjoying the spacious accommodation and the variety of activities available for everyone. The lodge was perfect for our needs and the kids were particularly thrilled with the hot tub and Flow Rider. However, there were some maintenance issues that detracted from the overall experience, and the dining options could be improved. Despite this, we made great memories and are looking forward to our next visit!

We had a wonderful stay at Retallack with spacious lodges that perfectly catered to our family's needs. The friendly staff were always ready to help, and the variety of activities available kept everyone entertained. However, we did encounter a few issues like a late check-in and a couple of cleanliness concerns that need addressing. Overall, it's a great place for families looking to explore Cornwall.

Retallack Resort has a variety of activities, which kept us entertained during our stay. The price is reasonable for what's offered, but the cleanliness and maintenance of the lodges significantly need improvement. Several issues we faced, like water pressure problems and a dusty environment, made it hard to fully enjoy our time there. While the staff was friendly, many concerns seem to be neglected.
