Retanna Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked 2 days ago 2 reviews

Friendly park in a Cornish wildlife haven
Halfway between Helston and Falmouth
Large playground and games field

Retreat to Retanna Holiday Park, where the emphasis is on friendly service and maximum R and R in quietly attractive surroundings. There’s no rowdy entertainment or bar here, just rabbits hopping around the neighbouring fields (and there are no dogs allowed)... The modern facilities include a smart ablutions block with free hot showers, a laundry room, fridge freezer and washing up area. There’s also a large playground for the kids and a recreation field. Let the owners know your preferences in terms of pitch location (quiet, near to the facilities or play area, etc - just use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page) and they’ll do their utmost to make your dreams come true.

What customers say

Guests enjoyed a very well-appointed, comfortable caravan with spacious accommodation, lovely furnishings, and a great bathroom, including a bath. The peaceful surroundings, close parking, and easy access to Falmouth were highlights. While the second bedroom was described as tight and lacking a bedside table, and some found the mattress too soft, the manager has noted the issue regarding teaspoons and hopes for a return visit.

2 bedroom static caravan (deluxe)

Liked Very well appointed and comfortable caravan. It has a bath!
Tea and coffee and hot chocolate in cupboard
Easy driving access to Falmouth and surrounds.

Disliked No teaspoons. Perhaps they’ve all been taken or lost?
Mattress too soft for my personal taste but nothing wrong with it, just preference.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the review. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
I will look into the teaspoon problem.
Hope to see you again in the future.

Local attractions

Halfway between Helston and Falmouth, Retanna Holiday Park’s location is brilliant for exploring all the best-loved towns in Cornwall, plus the craggy coves, quaint fishing villages and subttropical gardens of the Lizard Peninsula. Porthleven, Praa Sands and Falmouth offer miles of golden sands that are great for families and surfers alike, and all manner of watersports can be found in the surrounding area. Several tourist magnets are very close to Retanna, including the Cornish Seal Sanctuary in the lovely village of Gweek. Visitors prepared to venture a little further will find Cornish classics such as the Eden Project, Lands End and the Minack Theatre less than an hour away.
