Family Stay Aug 22
Having stayed at Retallack several years ago, we found that things were much the same, but obviously with more development going on. Our lodge looked a little tired, compared to where we stayed before, perhaps because it is up for sale, the owners have lost interest. The upstairs balcony was rather dirty with bird droppings and the wood was rather slimy, which made it more or less unusable as a pleasant place to sit. The children especially were disappointed that there was no wi-fi, but that was something we should have checked beforehand. On a safety note, the two burners on the left hand side the hob kept blowing out, so there is a problem there. The children and their father tried all the water sports and activities, and enjoyed them. The addition of paddle boarding would be welcomed. From a disabled spectator point of view, I have to say that driving down to the lake to watch, the road/track down there is dreadful, with large pot holes and mini lakes. I think we would stay at Retallack again, but probably not at that lodge, unless the new owners make some improvements.

Retallack The Willows No.38
Lovely large property on resort with good facilities. WiFi not that great and didn’t allow for Netflix streaming etc which was a disappointment. Also house listed as having DVD players but none present and only basic tv (suggest having smart TVs so visitors can log onto their own accounts). Water pressure upstairs was low and thus the showers were not strong. Kitchen needs new frying pans and pots, very old and no longer non stick. Great location, close to lots of fun places. We loved The Hidden Valley, what a find for children 5-8. Recommend the Hawkesfield cafe.

Not really suitable for wheelchair
Property was clean and well laid out for a family, but being on a very steep slope was very difficult to push down to most of the water facilities and snack bar. Also no rubber slip mat provided for shower, we had to get one as very dangerous, the bathroom floor has smooth tiles which are very slippery when wet. Mattress on bed is bigger than base of bed, so quite difficult not to slip off edge when getting out of bed.

Great for inter generational get together
3 generations of us had a fabulous time. The space was great so that with having two sitting areas and TV meant that one got designated for games and one for TV. Also meant could have a quiet area in the day too. Spacious bedrooms were useful too. Great to be able to sit and eat together inside and out. Used the pool, sauna and steam room. The little shop was useful. The younger ones in the group booked to go on the water obstacle thing and really enjoyed it. We loved sitting by the Beach Cafe watching too. Brilliant location for getting further afield too. The only downside was poor service at the restaurant for two of our younger members because they felt unwelcome because they had not booked, though there were empty tables. There was a comment along the lines of having to check with the chef first! Housekeeping were fabulous and made sure there was a cafetiere and talked me through getting the cooker to work. Would definately go again.
