Willow, Retallack

Willow is a detached four-bedroom house on the Retallack Resort & Spa near St Columb, sleeping 8 across two floors with 2 bathrooms. The house has a private hot tub on a secluded decked terrace, two separate lounges, an en-suite off the main bedroom, and a family bathroom. EV charging and a garden are included; access to the resort's shared swimming pool is available on site.

Mawgan Porth - a wide, surfable bay with a car park at sand level - is 5.3 miles away. Watergate Bay follows at 5.7 miles, and Bedruthan Steps beach at 5.8 miles. All three are accessible in under 15 minutes by car, making the resort a practical base for surf-focused groups. The resort's own facilities reduce the need to go out every day.

Changeover is Saturday, which aligns with the school holiday calendar and suits families travelling in summer. Mawgan Porth is the closest beach for swimming; the drive to Newquay takes about 20 minutes.

Best for groups, families with children, and resort-style holidays with activity days rather than a peaceful rural retreat. Not great for guests wanting a remote or no-resort-feel property. 35 reviews on Sykes.

The 4-bedroom house across 2 bathrooms sleeps 8, with an en-suite off the main bedroom and a separate family bathroom. Saturday changeover fits school holiday rotas. EV charging on site makes the property practical for guests travelling from further afield - Mawgan Porth at 5.3 miles and Watergate Bay at 5.7 miles are both straightforward drives. The private hot tub on the decked terrace is for exclusive use, not shared with other resort guests.
