  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.

  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 had a fantastic stay at Willow Lodge.

  It’s beautifully laid out and very well equipped. We liked that it was on a quiet corner plot of the resort and it suited our party of 2 adults, 3 kids & 2 dogs perfectly. We didn't bother with the resort facilities although it was handy to have the shop on site ( and we appreciated the food welcome gifts left for us ). We used it as a base to explore padstow and all the surrounding areas, including a visit to the Eden project that we loved. There are some incredible beaches locally that we found out about in the information pack that the owners Jamie & Amanda had thoughtfully put together. We’d thoroughly recommend it to any families looking for a comfortable base to explore the area from. We hope to return next year when we understand the lodge will also have a hot tub - the cherry on the cake!

  The property was faultless.

  It was thoroughly clean for our arrival and the facilities excellent. The lodge itself is situated in a quiet area of the resort and offers surprising levels of privacy with plenty of parking directly outside for 3 cars. There was tea, coffee and biscuits left for us by the owner which I found a nice and personal touch. For us however it was the extra mile, sorry, extra miles that the owner went to to accommodate us at very short notice after our previously booked accommodation was totally unsuitable for us on arrival in Newquay - we cannot thank Jamie enough. I will also extend a massive thank you to the team at Sykes Cottages who worked hard to secure us this beautiful holiday lodge at vey short notice.

  Nice site, 4 generations of family enjoyed the site’s facilities including the pool, restaurant and bar. There is also a tennis court and lots of water activities which were used and enjoyed by many. Great location to go out exploring. The house was clean and comfy but could do with a little bit of care to make it a great place to stay. Weedy patio with some loose, wobbly slabs which we thought were dangerous with small children, if you stood on one end they lifted right up and could trip you up. Needed more kitchen equipment for 8 adults, glasses, baking tins etc..cushions for garden chairs would be nice. Small niggles that would be easy to improve.
