Very well equipped and located in a perfect location. The site has lots going for itself. Fantastic fields to play sports on, lots of parking space, and a great pool and spa on site. We made full use of the hot tub, BBQ and pizza oven which were on our patio.

We also loved the TVs, living room spaces, open-plan designs and brilliant kitchen facilities.

There is lots to do in the area. I would recommend going to Healeys Cider Farm (about 25 mins away). Padstow town was also really nice!

For a group holiday, we found it perfect and will be booking again.

Comfy beds, nice furniture, good Wi-Fi

We have stayed at Retallack Resort many times - the last few times we have booked it through Queenwood Holidays. Amy provides a very personalised service, nothing is too much trouble. Her team are at the resort frequently and always handle any issues promptly and professionally, always checking if there is anything you need. The lodges are beautifully appointed and at the same time very dog friendly which for us is a must. The resort itself is in a great location approx 15 mins from Padstow and many glorious beaches. Thank you Amy for many wonderful stays and we’re already looking forward to the next one!

We went to Herons during May half term and what a stay it was. The house was amazing, in its own private space. The pool was amazing and it felt like we were abroad as weather was delightful.
The house was really spacious and comfortably fit our large family of 12 in.
The cinema room was one of our favourite rooms and it was nice to watch a film at night with the kids.
The resort itself has a shop and a bar which was nice.
The location was also excellent. Only 10/15 mins drive to Padstow and around 30 mins to NewQuay. We did travel to St Ives also and that took around 45 mins.
This is the first time we have been Cornwall and it’s one of the best holidays we have been on. Stunning place.
Finally the Service Amy provided prior and during our stay was excellent. My mother in law needed oxygen and Amy sorted this with the vendor prior to arrival. Nothing was too much for her and she was on standby to fix problems, such as sorting the sauna and hot tub when we had some issues.
I would definitely recommend staying in Herons in particular and using Queenwood Holidays. Just want to thank Amy and her team for an amazing experience.

Absolutely stunning! We stayed in one of the lodges by the lake, loved watching the ducks other birds. The lodge itself was spotless, although a few bits of furniture are looking a tad tired. This didn’t take away from the home away from home feel though.

Someone came from queenwood after we arrived to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed, which was a really nice personal touch and the lady was absolutely lovely and friendly.

Will definitely stay again!

Amazing place to stay. Had all we needed. Host was very approachable and very kind. My family and I will definitely be returning. Very dog friendly and great places to see which are very close in location. Amazing week away with the family.

My experience at 208 SNUG [Point break] AT RETALLACK RESORT-Saint Columb Major started very nerve-wracking due to the lack of communication. However, a valid reason was given. Whilst they were issues with the accommodation [appliances not working, light bulbs required, plumber required for the toilet, window frame separating from the interior wall, broken chair on the balcony, no dustpan, unusable BBQ unit], my main issue and yours as well, is the CLEANLINESS which you can not escape.
All lampshades were full of dust or cobwebs.
Cutlery not clean
All windows on the top floor had cobwebs with dead flies or insects.
Sewer/ Drain flies the nest or a vast amount in one of the bedrooms of the top floor.
A few towels [white] had massive red/rust stains on them.
Beds headrest full of dust
The carpet in all bedrooms by the side table and bed has to think dark notice dust on the skirting board and on the carpet.
It truly felt that we spent most of the week cleaning and relaxing. The accommodation can be of high standards. However, once the basics have been addressed, I would only recommend people to stay at this accommodation. However, I recommend others on the same plot, which SNUG owns.

We stayed in watersedge 111 far from luxury accommodation carpet upstairs threadbare in places,upstairs Bath takes hours to run as the water just trickles out the sink in the kingsize room needs the drainage sorting as the water doesn't go down the plug, brown scum around shower needs a good clean ironing board but no iron no espresso machine as advertised tumble dryer not working no bbq as advertised, no welcome hamper freezer drawers broken and everything needs a good clean very disappointing as the prices are expensive you'd expect the accommodation to be up to standard.

My Husband booked Puffin21 for my 60th birthday. After a long drive from Essex we arrived and wernot overly impressed. The coffee machine had dirty pods in it, the toaster was full of dirty toast crumbs, the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes, the oven and grill were dirty and not all the lights were working. There were cobwebs which I don't think had ever been touched. I contacted Ami who is in charge and herself and another girl came the following day to try to rectify things. Unfortunately they couldn't do everything. The oven needed a screwdriver to enable it to be cleaned and the couldn't reach the cobwebs. The actulodge needs maintenance. The downstairs curtains are hanging off the rail, some of the rings on the door handles are broken, the downstairs stair gate is broken, the freezer drawers are broken, one of the bedroom lamps doesn't work, the downstairs bathroom blind doesn't work and there is a broken wall light upstairs. When we stripped the bed before we left there is no matress protector or pillow protectors.
Unfortunately the whole lodge could do with a deep clean and maintenance team need to give it a once over before summer season starts.

Queenwood Holidays (Amy)
Marketed as 2 bed luxury stylish lodge!
Sandpipers 32b, Retallack, Cornwall

Actual and very disappointing findings on arrival. Extremely small en-suite shower room off the main bedroom with limiting ceiling height around the basin. Dated fixtures and fittings. Well used kitchen and cookware. Used wood burner grate with remains of previous usage. No immediate supply of wood as advertised within the property. Filthy mop and well used broom only for cleaning. Uncomfortable aging sofa. Property generally tired and requires an update to fulfil the term of luxury. Inappropriate hot tub lid that did not fit properly and no relevant instructions for use of sauna room. On reporting our concerns to Retallack reception we were informed that it was not their responsibility as the lodge is privately owned by Queenwood Holidays and we would need to contact Amy, Queenwood H, directly. However, Amy passes all concerns to her housekeeper, who in turn passes to general staff that have limited knowledge and just do their best. Amy failed to reply to any direct contact from her customers!!
More shockingly, Queenwood H. Operate hidden extra costs by charging a damage deposit on top of the lodge price of £100. On departing we left the lodge cleaner than on our arrival. I have attempted several times to request a refund of my owed damage deposit. Sadly the refund is not automatic and Amy does not respond to requests. Finally on stripping the bedding before leaving I was disgusted at the condition of the stained mattresses and duvets especially during times of Covid. Shame on you Queenwood Holidays! Never again will I use this company.

We returned from a 4 night stay at the Retallack resort last week in the haven 43. The lodge itself is very spacious, the beds and bedding were super comfy and the hot tub was a real highlight. The added features such as welcome hamper, and robes were a nice touch. The resort is lovely we made plenty of use of the indoor swimming pool the kids really enjoyed in there, my partner and friend also had a lot of fun trying out the flow rider surf machine. We did come across a few minor problems during our stay which after contacting Amy she tried her best to rectify the problems for us, and none of these affected our stay. Over all we had a lovely time and other than the fact it was a long journey travelling there and back with a little one we would stay again! Thank you Amy

We had a really disappointing experience with Amy and Queenswood holidays. Booked last minute via Air B&B where a one night stay was advertised. Amy came back to us and said this was an error but she would honour a one night stay at double the price advertised. We were quite keen to stay in Cornwall for a further night so took the offer. When we arrived the interior was clean and fine but the outside area totally neglected with rotten fencing around the lodge that made it unsafe for children. We were offered the lodge next door but this outdoor space was exactly the same with a broken fence making it even more unsafe. Amy said we couldn’t have any of her other lodges unless we paid even more (we were already paying £450 for one night). In the end we stayed in the first lodge and Amy said she would refund £50 as a good will gesture…..I’m still waiting for this days later and expect it will never arrive. Communication was poor and she was not true to her word so would sadly not recommend this company. On the plus side for future guests the decks were being cleaned for future guests so I’m sure they’ll look fine onwards.

What can I say other than Amy thank you! Our 4 Children had an awesome time. Lovely warm house, hot tub steaming and ready for us to enjoy on arrival, and generally a very clean and tranquil environment for us to relax for 3 nights. I’d recommend all day long and we have plans to visit again in August. So convenient for a 20min trip to Newquay or Padstow. Great fun!

We just wanted to say that the lodge was simply fantastic and Retallack resort was perfect - the kids loved the pool. Communication with Amy at Queenwood was faultless. Thoroughly recommend.

Amazing property , loved the swimming pool and Hot tub! Amy's concierge call and attention to detail were amazing! We will be coming back! Throughly recommend Queenwood Holidays for your Cornwall holidays!
