The property received high praise for its cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'gorgeous', 'lovely and clean', and having everything on hand for a comfortable stay.
The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and beautiful lakeside view. However, one review mentioned fencing that impacted the view and access to the lake, slightly affecting the score.
Guests found the property very comfortable, with all necessary amenities on hand. The only minor discomfort mentioned was the lack of a large frying pan and the impact of external work on the use of the hot tub.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the hot tub. However, ongoing external work and a power outage, as mentioned by a guest, indicate some issues with maintenance during their stay.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.
Set on the grounds of the Retallack Resort and Spa, on the outskirts of St Columb Major, Cornwall, rests this fabulous, four-bedroom holiday home, 207 The Glades. Perfect for large families, this three-floor property boasts fantastic positioning to on-site attractions and amenities, as well as tastefully-presented living areas, providing you and your loved ones with everything you need for fun-filled, self-catered Cornish escape. Step inside your new home-away-from-home and be charmed by bright, vibrant interiors, including a fully-equipped kitchen, where the designated chef can prepare tasty, home-cooked meals to be enjoyed in the inviting living/dining room, complete with a wall-mounted TV, or even alfresco on the dining seating in the rear enclosed patio, which comes with an indulgent, private hot tub, perfect for relaxing in whilst you take in the tranquil, lakeside scenery. In the evenings, treat yourself to a long soak in a quirky jacuzzi bath or perhaps even a rejuvenating shower, before retiring to one of four, plush bedrooms, all of which come with a TV, with two enjoying access to balconies with stunning views of the lake and natural surroundings. If you fancy exploring the resort, the indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room, as well as the gym and weights room are free for guests to use during your stay. Fishing is also free for those bringing their own equipment. Thrill seekers can experience the Flowrider, an innovative wave machine for body boarding and surfing all year round, or take part in seasonal watersports, on a lake near the lodge, which includes wakeboarding, paddle boarding and a giant inflatable aqua park. For extra pampering, indulge in a soothing facial or massage at the on-site Esya Spa. Stock up on supplies at the aptly-named The Shop or even take a break from cooking one evening by booking a table at the The Lookout Restaurant & Lounge. For some family fun, Crantock beach has great sand for building castles, or scramble over the rocks at Treyarnon Bay to swim in a rockpool at low tide. Cycle the Camel Trail along a picturesque disused railway line following the estuary to Padstow or feed the animals and enjoy the play areas at Dairyland Farm Park, all just a short drive from your idyllic lodgings. For a holiday to remember, book a stay at 207 The Glades.
A little rural community called Winnard's Perch can be found in Cornwall, not far from the real town of Saint Columb Major. The Lookout Restaurant & Lounge, a local convenience store, and home-cooked meals can be found in the peaceful village. These are great places to unwind after a long day. You can get a sense of the past by visiting historical sites on the fringes of the hamlet, like the ruins of Castle a Dinas and the St. Breock Downs Monolith. Visit one of the many traditional pubs in Saint Columb Major for some drinks by an open fire and a splash at Watergate Bay, a popular surfing area. Visit the thriving town of Newquay where you may go around the Blue Reef Aquarium Newquay in search of unusual sea life and view your favourite animals at the zoo. See Cornish treasures like the magnificent Eden Project and Wadebridge, which is filled with unique eateries and the picturesque Camel Trail.

Very clean, tidy and comfortable. Plenty of parking outside the house. Certainly felt like home for the week. Had a wonderful time. Providing a cream tea was a lovely touch. Family enjoyed the facilities on site. Handy to visit local attractions. Would definitely recommend!
Tracey
There was herras fencing everywhere there weâre diggers digging up the land behind our accommodation, so to use the hot tub in the day we were doing it in front of the workers and then to sum it up we had no power for the day and evening. The owners were really helpful but all we got out of Sykes and Retallack was it is in the terms and conditions no help whatsoever so I will not be using either of the two again. They are not interested in the customer at all

We brought some pint glasses, could do with normal big frying pan. Disappointed about the fencing, did spoil view and access to the lake. Which is why we booked the house.
