On the far flung southern coast of England sits Cornwall, a captivating location brimming with rugged natural beauty, cosy British cuisine, roaring waves and mesmerising culture and history. Close to Padstow in Northern Cornwall, and lake facing, your two bedroom holiday home at Retallack Resort is one of the most premium options the resort holds and is perfect for a family of four.

Awarded five stars, Strawberries + Cream is the optimal experience in true luxury. Built out of stone, the property contains two ensuite bedrooms, two baths, a suspended terrace, a private hot tub with calming views of Fistral Lake, and free pool access. Dog friendly, you can even bring your pampered pooch along for the adventure!

You can spend the day breathing in that nourishing coastal air and taking in the wild beauty of the area before returning home to your decadent living area filled with plump velvet sofas, the ideal environment to curl up with a book, glass of wine or film with the family. You can also make use of the complementary health club by accessing the pool and gym.

After parking, enter the property to be greeted by the large hallway. Hang your coat in the cloakroom and put your shoes or wellies in the utility room. The open plan living area is centred on the water and from here you’ll find many idyllic views of your natural surroundings.

The bedrooms are designed with comfort at the forefront. With plush pillows, warm lighting and thick throws, you can snuggle into your sanctuary for a good night’s rest, read blissfully, or pop the television on. The master bedroom also holds a striking lakeside terrace.

The kitchen always forms the heart of any home and you can easily utilise the open plan kitchen to chat to those out on the terrace while you rustle up a meal. You might want to prepare some classic family favourites, small snacks suited to a picnic or some indulgent treats to help you flip the switch into holiday mode.

Gather at the table and allow our chefs to deliver to your door. You can enjoy fresh seafood boxes or delicious pizzas from the resort restaurant. We’d recommend the St Columb Major butchers for meat produce. You can then enjoy your own BBQ on the terrace.

One of the property’s most sought after features is it’s hot tub. There’s no better way to describe the feeling of spending a day exploring only to ease yourself into the heat of the hot tub other than blissful. Flanked by green, this is your own little oasis – a true little home that will welcome you again and again to the charm of Cornwall.

What you should know…

  • Cornwall can be rainy and unpredictable weather-wise, but fortunately there’s plenty of cosy comfort to enjoy within the resort, including your own hot tub and pool access. Even going for a rainy coastal walk can be quite pleasant if you’re dressed properly
  • Be prepared for the wild weather with layers. If the sun is soaring, you can enjoy lovely temperatures but its best to also pack hats, scarves, gloves and thermals for the wind and rain, especially if you plan on hiking
  • Cornwall is a hugely popular tourist destination. Make sure to book anything you don’t want to miss in advance
  • Please note that the best way to explore Cornwall is by car especially if you want to get to some of the more rural gems

Your home for the duration of your stay is located not far from Padstow in Northern Cornwall in the south of England. It forms part of the Retallack Resort allowing guests access to a huge array of entertainment and services, including free pool access, use of the gym, surfing lessons, coarse fishing, use of the Elemis spa, and meals at the LookOut restaurant. Then there’s the cinematic coast of Cornwall to contend with. The peninsula of Cornwall is quite a paradox. It boasts sandy beaches, wild moorland, and enchanting villages. Surfing aficionados will be drawn to the towering waves. Here you can truly be at one with the water. Whether you head for indoor lessons at Flowrider in the resort or tackle the wild waters head on, you’re bound to have a memorable experience. Surfing isn’t the only sport on the agenda. The intense landscape makes all sorts of activities an exciting prospect including scuba diving, rock climbing and zorbing, amongst many others. As such, adrenaline junkies in particular are drawn here. You might also enjoy heading to Port Isaac for surfing opportunities!

As one of the most popular destinations in the UK, you’re in good company. You’re not far from the town of Padstow, a quintessential Cornish town renowned for its lovely harbour and pretty views. It’s a hugely admired location for food fans – there’s a tremendous gastronomy scene here to enjoy and plentiful fresh produce, especially if you enjoy indulging in seafood. You can also enjoy the seafood restaurant by Rick Stein, a celebrity chef of the area. You might like to spend time at his cooking school too where you can learn to make seafood dishes and curries.

Padstow was formerly a trading port where Celts traded between Britain, France and Ireland. Commonly pilchards, slate, copper and tin were exported here while coal, timber and salt were imported. The Medieval feel of the town makes this a truly intriguing part of the country to visit. You might also like to take a boat trip so that you can see the beaches and the famed coastline of North Cornwall in all its splendid glory. You may get the chance to see many amazing native creatures including seals, dolphins and even majestic whales. For a taste of history, head to the Padstow Museum which is free to enter and take some time learning about lobsters at the Lobster Hatchery which aims to assist the lobster population in the area.

Cyclists might enjoy taking on the River Camel Trail which runs alongside the scenic estuary. You can also choose to hike if cycling is not your thing. You can enjoy some local beers at Padstow tasting co or try a gin and tonic or glass of wine. They also boast some of the best black olives in the area.

For an elegant sample of history, explore Prideaux Place, a grade one listed country house built during the Elizabethan age. The house itself is remarkable but you can also take a tour through the accompanying deer park.

If you happen to be in Padstow for Mayday, make sure you partake in the celebrations. Here it’s referred to as the Obby Oss. Take a trip to the bays of the area including Harlyn, Trevone, Daymer, Booby’s Bay which is dog friendly, Bedruthan Steps and Port Quin. You can also take a ferry to the aptly named Rock, a lovely little village on the other side of the estuary with many delicious dining spots of its own.

A trip to Canal Creek Adventure Park comes highly recommended. Here you can enjoy a vast assortment of rides including the log flume.

Make sure you take some time to visit Newquay dominated by the fantastic Headland Hotel which featured in the adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel ‘The Witches’. Visit the sleepy village of Port Isaac, the location of television show Doc Martin. Tintagel is a wonderful place to truly fire the imagination – it’s domineering cliff faces, Merlin’s cave and the castle where King Arthur was supposedly born.

The less touristy Bodmin is home to an interesting jail and the languishing Bodmin moor where many a hike can be had.

With so much to do, take some time to settle on the ideal itinerary for you and your loved ones. You really can’t take a wrong turn, but of course, you must try a traditional Cornish pastie on your travels!

Cornwall is a hugely popular travel destination for families. It has everything you could want for your trip; the great outdoors, opportunities to try new experiences and lots of quality family time.

Within the resort you can enjoy dining together at the LookOut restaurant, practice your surfing skills, enjoy an indulgent spa trip, make use of the pool and even try coarse fishing. Getting out and about in Cornwall is a must. The dramatic lush scenery is fantastic and there are also many chances to try something new, such as surfing on the grand waves. You can actually have a go at surfing at the Flowrider if you don’t want to get out on the open waters quite yet.

Alongside surfing, you might like to try zorbing, rock climbing or scuba diving, each a unique and immersive way to experience the wild beauty of Cornwall.
Close to Padstow, you can enjoy all that is quaint and charismatic about the location including the picturesque harbour and delicious dining opportunities. Whether you want to try a Cornish pastie, yummy pizza or some freshly sourced seafood, there are ample dishes for you to sample. Of course, the classic British staple of fish and chips abounds here and is well worth a purchase – delicate flaky white fish in batter with lightly salted chips and lashings of vinegar truly is a treat! Don’t forget the tartare sauce and mushy peas.

Getting out on the water for a boat trip or safari makes for an exciting adventure. You’ll get the chance to see many amazing forms of wildlife including whales, dolphins and seals. Head to the Lobster Hatchery to see what locals are doing to protect the local lobster population and take the kids to the free Padstow Museum to learn more about the history and culture of the area.

Take in as much salty sea air as you can by embarking on any number of hiking or cycling trails, including the River Camel Trail. There are also a vast number of bays where you can choose to wander, swim, surf or enjoy a picnic, including Harlyn, Trevone, Daymer, Booby’s Bay, Bedruthan Steps and Port Quin.

A day at Canal Creek Adventure Park is tremendous family fun with a great variety of rides to enjoy. You must spend some time in Newquay with the disarming Fiscal Beach on your doorstep and the windswept Headland Hotel perched atop a cliff. This was where scenes from ‘The Witches’ were filmed and many young children may be firm fans of the film. A day trip to Tintagel makes for a lovely adventure as you discover the rumoured birthplace of King Arthur and explore Merlin’s cave.

Back home, enjoy your hot tub and a cosy film night in the open plan living room before snuggling up in your sanctuary with a good book or feast with your loved ones.
