Willow Lodge, Retallack Reviews

Matthew
.Good accommodation, comfortable beds, had everything we needed. Good site facilities, lodge needs a bit of maintenance but nothing that affected our stay . We had a great time.
Fantastic lodge and central to a lot of places and attractions. Amazing views from the property and a great resort!
Great property. Had everything we needed. Ideal with upstairsdownstairs layout. Definitely recommend.
Laurie
Lovely property. Plenty of crockery & cutlery. Clean.
The place was clean and unlike other lodges at the resort, the tub is really quite private which was great for watching the stars from. Only 10min drive to padstow and loads of other beaches. will definitely visit again
Danielle
Everything you need and more. Cannot fault Willow Lodge, comfy beds, spacious, great welcome pack on arrival, clean & warm, everyone enjoyed it there! There was 4 adults, 3 children and 1 dog that stayed and not once did we feel we were on top of each other. The hot tub was also spacious and enough room for most of us to get in. Really cant say anything else other than perfect!
As a large family this holiday home was perfect. We where able to do all the Christmas catering easily with the well stocked kitchen. The kids loved the space and facilities available especially the hot tub. We would definitely use willow lodge again.
Steven
The lodge itself was very impressive from the outside but the inside needs some loving care and attention. However overall the facility had everything one wanted and the park itself was excellent.
Gerald
A lovely Lodge in a good position. Very well equipped and comfortable,we and the dogs had all we needed.A pity about the weatherStorm Eunice!! .
Wonderful place to stay, would love to return. Well equipped and plenty of room for the whole family and the dog too. Very friendly and helpful owner with great communication. Spent the Christmas break here and the owner provided decorations and the kitchen was so well equipped we cooked a full Christmas dinner for 8.
Easy booking process, great property with fantasic facilities, and a responsive host. We had a brilliant time and hope to return again soon.
Willow lodge was well presented and fully equipped with everything you need and is on a lovely quiet site. Padstow was only a 10 15 minute drive away so not far to go to the coast, but it was lovely coming away from the hustle and bustle back to the lodge at the end of the day. The resort was only small but had a lovely pool which we used twice and had a bar and restaurant which we made use of. We had a lovely holiday and would recommend both the resort and the lodge.
Fantastic lodge, fantastic site in a great area for exploring cornwalll.
Serena
Perfect location, short distance to Newquay, Padstow and Port isaac. Willow Lodge has the most fantastic views, probably the best on the site. 8 of us stayed in June and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We had a fantastic stay at Willow Lodge. Its 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. Wed 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!
My family and I had an amazing time at Willow Lodge. The facilities were brilliant. Being a corner plot was great for our grandchildren aged 5 & 8. Would highly recommend for a family holiday.
Thomas
Lodge was amazing and we loved the resort but we were disappointed that we couldnt use the pool every day. We feel that should have been made clearer to us.
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 doable. 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 2025 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.
Andrew
We've stayed here many times over the years but the investment in the new decking and flooring is a real improvement. Only disappointment was the limited access to the swimming pool but owing to Covid that's understandable.
Nicola
Good value for money and location and well supplied. Double bed misleading as it is a double matress on a single bottom bunk bed ! This was my main issue as one of the photos of the single twin room downstairs looked like it was the double and a single in the room. I feel very strongly that you cannot market this property as a double bed and a king size bed.
Stephen
We know Retallack very well having stayed in the past. This was our first time in a privately owned property and we couldnt have been happier. A lovely spacious property as described with everything you could need on your stay. Very clean and plenty of outdoor space and privacy as it is in a corner plot.
