Overview

Anyone travelling with children, especially those of a younger age, know the challenges parents face when trying to find a perfectly equipped holiday home – one that ensures an easy and relaxing break can be enjoyed by both mums and dads as well as by their little ones.

Designed by a family for families, Lodge 40 Retallack has covered all the bases when it comes to providing a luxury holiday home that manages to cater beautifully to the needs of multigenerational families who have little ones in tow.

From fantastic outdoor areas to a playroom within one of two living rooms, as well as a children’s room with single bed and cot bed; the lodge which also includes tons of toddler and baby equipment, makes a super spacious retreat that is perfectly suited to provide a care-free holiday for the whole family.

Set within 40 acres of glorious countryside, Retallack Resort and Spa enjoys a tranquil atmosphere, where a range of on-site facilities have been designed to give both older children and adults alike, a unique and fun-drenched holiday experience.

Arranged over two floors the lodge has been beautifully furnished with each room feeling bright and contemporary. Three gorgeous bedrooms along with the children's bedroom and three bathrooms, mean privacy and comfort for all, while a selection of DVD’s and children’s toys are provided to ensure that even on wetter days, there is no shortage of entertainment. A fantastic deck with dining set as well as child’s picnic table and a Wendy house, encourages plenty of time spent socialising together outdoors while the youngest members of the family can delight in hours of playtime.

Explore the golden sands of Mawgan Porth or paddle the Atlantic surf at nearby Fistral Beach before heading home to sink into the bubbling hot tub for a delicious soak. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms mean plenty of sumptuous space for six adult guests plus children, with a huge open-plan kitchen and dining room the ideal place to prepare and share meals together.

*One additional travel cot is available on request

Fab week away
4.7/5

The lodge had everything we needed for a brilliant week away and provided plenty of space for 8 of us with a age range from 7 to 75. Check in and out was effortless and we didnt have any issues at all.

Mariana, 19 Aug 2026

Hi Mariana, thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that you found the Lodge to be brilliant and that it had plenty of space for 8 guests! We do hope to welcome you back for another great stay. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.

Disappointed
2.5/5

Beautiful home with lots to offer but sadly Lots was broken and the place was very dirty We had a number to call if we had any issues But the person didnt answer and would call back hours later. We didnt have any oven gloves or grill tray when we arrived in the Saturday And we didnt receive any till Monday afternoon. Hydro bath was broken Kids baths toys fully of black mould Dining Chairs arent fit for use anymore we had to put cushions on them Main wardrobe is used for storage We have reported all the problems we had but sadly havent heard anything about whats being done yet. Resort had lots to offer and was beautiful location and booking directly through them would prob be better as they have people on site 24/7 for call outs if you have any issues But cant help private rented homes

John, 16 Sep 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you thought the home was beautiful and we do hope you and your family enjoyed your time in Cornwall. We were however sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay didnt meet expectations. This property consistently receives good reviews which is why weve investigated each of the issues raised. As a privately owned home, there arent any on-site staff available, however the local contact does their best to respond and resolve issues as quickly as possible, and we believe they contacted you within 2 hours of receiving your message. Unfortunately, as a busy holiday let, some items do occasionally go astray between bookings, such as the missing oven gloves and grill rack - but we are pleased the housekeeper was able to promptly revisit the property to deliver replacements and assist where possible We purposely dont make mention of the hydro bath within our online property descriptions as the jets have been disabled for some time due to health and safety. We will however now add a note, so this is even clearer for future guests. On inspection, we couldn't find any issues with the dining chairs however were pleased to report that the sofas within the property were recently re-padded, and they also receive a full professional clean at the end of each season. The property owner continually invests time and care to maintain high standards, and regular maintenance is carried out annually . We do hope you enjoyed your time in the area and hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Great location for a traditional family holiday
5/5

We had a fantastic time in this large lodge enabling the children to have their own space to themselves plus a safe space in which to wander. The inflatable game on the lake plus the surfing were fantastic for the older children. The location for the site is also great being in easy reach of Newquay, Padstow and numerous great beaches.

Andy, 13 Sep 2025

Hi Andy, Thank you so much for your review. We're delighted to hear that the lodge provided the perfect space for your family, especially giving the children room to enjoy themselves safely. We're also glad you found the location convenient for exploring Newquay, Padstow, and the beautiful nearby beaches. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you all back again soon! Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal team

Fantastic property
5/5

We had a fantastic stay, location is perfect, everything clean and tidy. Only downside is that swimming pool is quite small and not very exciting for youngsters.

A beautiful spacious family orientated holiday lodge definitely feel comfy and cosy
5/5

Me my partner and our 4 children stayed at this lodge for 7 nights and it was a beautiful lodge very comfortable and nice and cosy it was also really lovely to see how family orientated the owners are and how they have accomadated for familys with children of all ages.. The upstairs frontroom with the playhouse in is a really good and lovely idea and it is really cute our 6 year old twins absolutely loved it and it was so nice to stay somewhere where there was something for them to do so me and my partner could still relax and enjoy our holiday too.. We stay at the retallack resort and spa every year because it is perfect for us as a family and all of us enjoy it there but this lodge was definitely more family friendly and a lot more spacious than the one we stayed in last year we would like to try and book this one every time we go as like I said it is the perfect lodge for us as a family.. Also all the little pictures and ornaments and quotations are just really cutr and a lovely touch it really was a lovely lovely lodge to stay in and we had a lovely time and like I said we would love to stay there again.

Fab holiday!
5/5

We had an amazing holiday at the lodge! We took my sister's 17 month old daughter and she had the best time! The play house upstairs was her favourite! The weather was also good enough for her to be running around outside. We all loved the swimming pool on site aswell! As for the rest of us we all had a very relaxing break, family friends visited and were so impressed that they too are interested in having a holiday at the resort too!

Mel, 15 Mar 2025

Hi Mel, Thankyou for taking time to leave a review. We are glad you had a fabulous stay at Lodge 40, Retallack Resort & Spa and had a relaxing and fun stay. We would love to welcome you back in the future! Best Wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.

A second stay
5/5

We enjoyed last year so much, that we booked again this year. We noticed that the house has had work and maintenance done on it over the year and so the condition remained excellent. All the additional things for keeping a toddler occupied and safe (bath toys, high chair, potty, bed guard, stair gates, plastic utensils and the list goes on....) alongside a really comfortable, clean and spacious home from home are the reasons we will book again!

Sarah, 30 Jan 2025

Hello Sarah, thank you for your lovely feedback and for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so happy that you enjoy staying at the lodge and appreciate the work the owners put into it. We look forward to welcoming you back again. Best Wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.

Extended family trip
5/5

We had a fab time at Lodge 40. The Lodge itself is kitted out amazingly for babies/toddlers, from all the things you can see in the playroom pictures and kids bedroom to highchairs, plastic plates, bath toys and stair gates. We took both sets of grandparents with us and two floors with space on each meant we didn't feel cramped. Great and quick response from the company when we needed help on day 1. We enjoyed our stay so much were hoping to book again for next year. Thoroughly recommend for families with littles!

Sarah, 10 Feb 2024

Hi Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are so glad to hear you had a fabulous time in the lodge. Happy to hear you felt it had everything you would need and want. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. The owner asked we pass on this message for you: We are so glad you had a lovely stay at Lodge 40. Having had 3 small children under 2 when we bought the lodge 10 years ago and kitting it out for our own purposes, we are so glad that families still continue to make the most of all that it has to offer for small children. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Retallack Resort & Spa
5/5

Nine family members stayed for a week at the Resort and pretty much everything was wonderful. The lodge we stayed in was better than we thought it could be with facilities to cater for young and older alike. Two large lounges, more televisions than we knew what to do with, toys and games provided, large hot tub, the list goes on and on. We had en suite facilities to the two upstairs bedrooms and downstairs there were two bedrooms served by their own bathroom, all of which was in its own separate area off the downstairs lounge. Add all of the above to a spectacular site in a superb area of the U.K. with utterly fantastic weather we could not have asked for more. I suggested that pretty much everything was wonderful and the only drawback we could found was nothing to do with the lodge but more Resort oriented. It may be the norm for Cornwall but we did find drinks in the Resort bar were pricier than we are used to.

Tracey, 11 Jun 2023

Hi Tracey, thank you for leaving us a review. We are so glad you had a wonderful stay and exceeded your expectations. It's good to hear you made full use of the facilities and the location. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Best Wishes, Luxury Coastal.

Nice lodge but lack of extra amenities
3.5/5

The lodge itself was nice and the hot tub is a great addition. I would say the lodge was a little dated with the furniture and had I paid peak prices I would have been quite disappointed. There is a big lack of basic extra amenities, extra towels, extra bedding, extra pillows etc. Also the lack of fans was something that was disappointing as it was hot at night and the air was stagnant so no breeze. Therefore did not sleep well. Otherwise a good location and nice views. The balcony on the lodge was really nice.

Guest, 16 May 2023

Hi Mateen, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the location and made the most of the hot tub. Towels and bedding are provided for each guest on the booking as we do not wish to be wasteful however we are always happy to request additional items if guests reach out to us during the stay. We hope to welcome you back again in future. Best wishes, Lois
