My stay at Retallack had its highlights, but there were quite a few disappointing aspects that need attention. The location is great for exploring Cornwall, and the amenities offer a good variety for families. However, there were significant cleanliness issues and maintenance concerns in the lodge that detracted from the overall experience. I felt that the quality didn't align with the premium price tag.

The lodge I stayed in had areas that were quite dated, with noticeable issues such as black mould in the bathroom and around patio doors. It had a decent setup but definitely lacked the cleanliness and upkeep expected from a premium lodge.

We had a fun day at the resort with our children, enjoying the aqua park and paddle boarding. While there were some issues with aggressive guests and the service for wet suits, we still had a great time overall. However, it's worth noting that the cleanliness of the changing facilities could be improved and we encountered some hiccups with the staff's responsiveness during busy times.

I had a delightful experience at Retallack, enjoying spacious accommodation and a variety of activities. However, we did encounter some maintenance issues that detracted from our enjoyment. The proximity to beautiful beaches and the range of on-site offerings made it worthwhile, but it does need some investment to truly shine as a top destination.
