  We really enjoyed our week in Willow Lodge (number 10) on the Retallack resort, the property was very well appointed, immaculately presented, comfortable with two 'living room' areas and had everything we needed.

  The only thing missing was oven gloves (but given COVID restrictions this was probably by design), honestly - that was about the only thing we missed! The location of the lodge was great, tucked away on the edge of the resort gave a good level of privacy. There were only 3 of us staying in the property plus our dog which meant loads of room, I think 8 could stay very comfortably, 10 would be fine, 12 might be a squeeze but very do-able. We did need to contact the property owner over a very minor issue to do with using the facilities at Retallack - they we back to us within a couple of hours and made the issue 'go away', so service and communication was also excellent. The property is ideal for the North Coast of Cornwall, Padstow or Wadebridge is 10 mins in the car, Newquay is 20/25 mins away. There is a small Tesco in Padstow, Tesco superstore in Wadebridge and large Morrisons in Newquay - so the area is well catered for if you want to self cater rather than eat out every evening. Port Issac is worth a mooch not much there however it is very petty - but be warned, it's busy! Perranporth is a stunning beach which goes on for miles, great of you've got a dog and lots of lovely little cafe's to grab a coffee and cake. Tintagel is a very pretty little area with a lovely cliff walk and lots of places to eat, once again it was busy but easy parking and no queues for food etc. If you don't mind an our in teh car then head towards the South Coast, Mullion Harbor is beautify with a lovely little tea room, Gunwollow Church cove is worth a visit, Lizard Point is also very nice with a great cliff walk from Lizard Point to Kynance Cove then a walk back through farmland to the Lizard car park. In summary an excellent property, appointed with everything you could need for a holiday and ideally placed for exploring Cornwall - would happily recommend it and would visit again.

  We had a lovely holiday at Halcyon Days property. The bedrooms and beds were extremely comfortable, the showers were perfect and cleaned well. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We did bring additional washing machine/dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid/disinfectant spray, toilet gel, bleach and spray as we used these everyday. We couldn’t make the dryer work but used these hanging rail on the balcony instead. The jacuzzi was fab and really enjoyed it. There were board games at the property to keep everyone entertained, which was a bonus. We booked this property because it had access to the Retallack Resorts indoor swimming pools free of charge (just got to call the resort and pre-book slots) with access to gym, sauna and steam room. We didn’t use the gym but the sauna wasn’t working when we got there which was a shame. There’s also entertainment that included at Retallack when booking this property for children and adults also a small playground/game room at the resort. The restaurant is terrible (the service was bad and it took 1.5 hours to get our food.) so remember to do a shop at the supermarket or have it scheduled for delivery to the property prior to coming. We regretted not doing this because everything was far away and we couldn’t get food delivery. Negatives: We had some minor hiccups at the property as the kettle was old, the barbecue wasn’t cleaned, the property is dog friendly so it didn’t match my cleanliness standards and vacuum wasn’t usable but aside from that we had a lovely stay. Rate 4/5 in spite of the negatives as we enjoyed our stay.

  1. The Lodge is well located taking into consideration the closeness of lodges on the site and quiet after construction has finished for the day 2.

  WiFi was the biggest issue - not having it directly connected to the Lodge and having to rely on the resort WiFi - you need to make this clear in the advert as families with children will face the same grief that I did on the first night and a large bill for data as well 3. The first night there we had water coming through one of the light fittings in the bunk bed room, clearly not the first time it had happened. Gene came out and resolved the issue, with the promise that a plumber would come on the Monday - we never saw the plumber. Room was damp and we ended up buying one of those container for damp conditions, ended up full of water 4. The original listing showed TV is a couple of the bedrooms and your current listing says that there is a TV in the twinned bedded room - there were no TV's 5. Some of the simple things like hooks on the back of doors to hang damp towels 6. The single room upstairs needs more than a bedside table and thought needs to be given as to whether it is actually suitable as a bedroom. 7. The upstairs balcony, which did some great views, had a birds nest with the resulting mess all over the balcony 8. The decking downstairs is rotting and my son chair leg went through it 9. There should have been some warning given about the construction traffic at the back of the lodge - it starts at 7am. It covered the cars with dust and on the last night there we had no water as they cut through the main pipe. Was resolved after a couple of hours

  We booked this house which looked ideal for our family holiday use. The site and location are superb for a family beach recreation getaway. SADLY the property Halcyon Days was certainly not as expected for the cost of the weeks rental. The property once we actually got inside .. (cleaners were late and very poor) was filthy Dogs hair dust cobwebs everywhere and absolutely no cleaning agents available. We went to the site shop bought bleach bin bags and cloths. Spent our first hour cleaning ! When we went to use the jacuzzi the patio slabs around it were loose very dangerous. The BBQ had been used and left with food in it Each balcony its furniture needed cleaning as did the patio furniture. We were contacted a few days before departure explaining the lakeside view and access was fenced off. No reason or explanation offered even after asking ? We still have no idea ? The grass area outside the patio area wasn’t cut as nothing can get in due to the Harris fencing ! As a family away celebrating a significant birthday we were desperately disappointed with the state of what should be a great house for vacation. It is neglected and in need of serious renovation especially in the communal areas. I’d recommend the site there are plenty of other houses lodges but avoid “Halcyon Days” until the faults are put right.

  The property was not very clean. In the cutlery draw was pretty dirty, there was rubbish beside the house and some sheets were quite stained/ marked. The shower in the upstairs twin room the temperature control was broken. The cooking equipment was minimal for an 8 person cottage and the oven was unpredictable and required a lot of monitoring to not burn food due to hot spots in the oven The fridge was so iced up affecting the space in the fridge but also meaning the risk of freezing the food if at the back of the fridge. I'd say also a small size of fridge for an 8 person cottage. 1 chair at the dining table was unsafe as it was falling apart. As the super king beds were zip link the option for them to be twins would have been handy. Although overall we had a lovely weekend the above points were noted by the group. There was a nice welcome pack of tea and coffee and cleaning pack.
