Whether you’re after a romantic break for two or a fun-packed holiday for the whole family, Retallack Resort & Spa has got it covered. Just eight miles from Padstow, the five-star luxury self-catering holiday destination is a great base for exploring the stunning North Cornwall coast and picturesque countryside. In Spring 2023, Retallack Resort & Spa officially opens their new £11m Hillside development of unique and exclusive Barns, landscaped to fit their beautiful Cornish location.

But with so much for all ages onsite, you might find it hard to drag yourself away from the resort. With a huge ‘total wipeout’ style Aqua Park, Water Zorbs, SUP’s, Cornwall’s only FlowRider and a Wake Park, there’s plenty of water-based fun for the whole family. The Lookout Bar and Restaurant is the perfect place for family breakfasts, lazy lunches and romantic evenings – there’s something for everyone from the best Cornish produce. Seasonal live streamed entertainment is available during the school summer holidays.

And while the youngsters wear themselves out, those wanting a more leisurely break can indulge in a treatment at the ESYA spa, taking its name from the Cornish for ‘at ease’. If you’re feeling active, there’s the state-of-the-art gym and two outdoor tennis courts. The two fully stocked fishing lakes make the perfect spot for peaceful sunrises and sunny afternoons. You will require your own equipment and fishing permits are charged at £10 for 12 hours.

From the brand new two-, three-, four- and six-bedroom Premium Barns, where every detail has been covered – open plan living at its best, with sociable space to bring everyone together (bubbling terrace hot tubs are available in the four- and six-bedroom barns) to the relaxing spacious Lakeside Apartment for two and selection of Luxury Lodges, there’s plenty of accommodation choice. Retallack Resort & Spa is dog-friendly so your four-legged friends can enjoy a holiday too.

The resort is close to the historic market town of St Columb Major and just a short drive away from the picturesque harbour town of Padstow as well as the popular family resort of Newquay, home to seven golden sandy beaches. Not to mention the proximity to some of Cornwall’s top attractions including Cornwall’s Camel Creek Adventure Park and The Eden Project.
