The Headland

We had a fabulous time. The location and the views of the beach and ocean are spectacular. Breakfast and dinner was delicious was fabulous views. We also enjoyed the incredible spa, totally worth it for this great experience. The staff are top notch as well. The only downside would be that our room was a tad dated. But that did not take away from our fabulous trip!

Had sandwiches and a beer. It was a good example of how something basic like a sandwich can be really good. Nice bread, cheese, chives, a few root veg crisps and a little salad. Oh and a lovely Guinness to accompany it. The hotel has a stunning location with panoramic views. It always reminds me of the Overlook hotel from the Shinning, but all the good features, not the horror 😀

Where do I begin?.... Fabulous. A fabulous place with fabulous service, fabulous staff and fabulous facilities. I have wanted to stay here for many years and it did not disappoint. Where else do you get a personalised tour of the building and facilities?. I'll not lie but for what we paid I was underwhelmed by our room, but we were hardly in it so that is really a mute point. The reception staff are excellent, the bar and waiting staff fabulous, the room staff? We didn't see you but the effort was appreciated, that's why I stripped the bed in a small attempt to make your day easier. Nothing was too much trouble even if it was a portion of ketchup on a luxury meal. Nobody encumbered you, but we're available. Verity our breakfast server was fabulous, friendly and personable... This is a place where staff are allowed to shine and approach their guests on a personal level. The bar staff are so engaging and ready to ask 'what brings you here' and smiled while I absolutely melted and talked to them about why I've always wanted to visit because of a film they are far too young to have seen, and we're genuinely interested when I told them about where all the scenes were filmed in the room we were in... They probably hear it multiple times, but engaged and that really made it for me. The facilities are exceptional..... Tell me you couldn't spend all day in the aqua club quite happily. An amazing stay with amazing people in a iconic setting.

An absolutely fantastic hotel and cottages, I have stayed in both. The cottages are full fitted out for self catering and if anything is missing the housekeeping staff are quick to help out. Spa: The Aquaclub is a must whatever the weather. The beauty spa is fabulous for a treatment and the adult only part of the hotel is also worth a visit if the Aquaclub is too busy or just because. |Food: Renmor is amazing as is the new Ugly Butterfly 2.0. The afternoon tea is a refreshing change. |All of The staff are amazing, cannot do enough for you. |Overall I highly recommend a stay whether it be in the hotel or a cottage.

Spent 5 days and 4 nights at this wonderful hotel/resort. My overall experience was made even more special by the staff. Each person was helpful with a smile. That is not typical at most 5 star hotels. We stayed in the cottages and will return as soon as possible. Thanks to Ellie who welcomed us upon arrival and Kristie who was able to help us make a friend’s birthday super special! Dogs are welcome and I was so happy to see children enjoying the common areas, pools, and beaches! However there are plenty of places for kids-free privacy for those that enjoy more solitude. The food was delicious and well prepared. One of the best chateaubriand that I’ve had in a long time. Recommend trying the mussels and tomato salad, as well. Some aspects of the bathroom need updating such as the shower glass being too short to keep water in the shower and unfortunately the world we live in requires connecting most of the time, so higher speed WiFi with additional capacity to stay connected would be better. You will not be disappointed!!

We had a spa treatment and afternoon tea today 17/9 it was outstanding. Hubby was reluctant on the spa but is now a convert lol. It was lovely and relaxing. Ellie our server in the restaurant was delightful. She was engaging had a great manner and a welcoming smile. She will go far in hospitality. A great time was had see you in the near future

Just back from yet another fantastic stay at the Headland. On this occasion to celebrate 125 years since the hotel first opened. The Headland team and owners organised a party to celebrate the event which as regular visitors we were invited to. A truly memorable event which we will always remember. There is a reason why we keep going back; The Staff. All the facilities of the hotel are excellent as you would expect from a five star hotel but the staff take it to another level. There attention to detail is amazing and they are constantly checking in a non invasive way if your okay. We have now introduced over 50 people to the hotel and all agree what a remarkable hotel it is. I talk of all the staff as been fantastic which they are but Kai, one of the managers goes over and above to make sure all our needs are met. Well done Headland team. Here’s to our next visit at Christmas.

Lovely hotel, and great location. We stayed in the cottages and it was nice and peaceful. Short walk down to the beach. The cottages are comfortable, and have more of homely feel, with a well equipped kitchen. Staff we exceptional and friendly. Auqaspa was nice, although busy most of the day, you can still find space to relax. Super dog friendly which is lovely

My sister-in-law found this hotel through Condé Nast or the like and wanted to go enough that we decided on Cornwall instead of Wales for our weekend in the UK with her. The hotel is old and classic, but modernized enough to be thoroughly comfortable. We got a room facing the pitch and putt out front, complete with double bed and built in bunks through a travel website for the last weekend in August. The room was large and well-appointed with comfortable beds and crisp linens. The sink taps were separate for hot and cold, and the shower either ran borderline-burning hot or cold. There was very little air flow in the room unless the window was open. The hotel was classically decorated. I loved the "library" on the 1st floor with its book wallpaper, LEGO model of the hotel, and modern dog lounger. There's a large double stair case, with seating at each level, much needed since the elevator isn't terribly fast. The lounge area, which we were told used to be the ballroom, had a seating area at each window to enjoy the views. There was a patio outside with a glass windbreak for the same purpose. There's a spa area downstairs, and there's a booklet full of treatments available. We didn't try to book any, but we did enjoy the pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and aromatherapy showers. While in the sauna, another guest informed us that they were booked for 48 hours solid anyway. Just having access to the aromatherapy showers was a lovely treat after a day of hiking in the coastal air. We ate our evening meals in the lounge area, not having seating at the Terrace (the casual restaurant), not having brought proper dress for the formal dining room, and enjoying the comfy chairs and couches. The full Terrace menu was available. The first night we quite enjoyed the mussels, rocket salad, fresh herbed mozzarella balls, the soup of the day, and the 5 Super Food salad (which changes daily, but always features 5 super foods, so you get the key nutrients in one sitting). Everything was tasty, especially that salad. The second evening, we split the vegetarian platter and the small version of the super food salad. We were quite full the second evening from enjoying cheese and crackers (which we bought at the Sainsbury's in town) while watching the sunset from one of the brick alcoves built into the seaside hill below the hotel. There about 2 dozen alcoves of brick or stone built along the side facing the beach or the coast, though only a couple had chairs. I would think they would've been quite crowded at a different point in the season, since they afforded such lovely views and provided just enough a windbreak. They're incredibly dog friendly and kid friendly. There were dogs and kids running around everywhere the whole weekend. Many folks brought their dogs and kids into the lounge area while they dined. Obviously, you go for the views, but the hotel was a lovely enough experience on its own to make it worth the trip.

Sorry - the hotel was great in many ways. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, the beds were comfortable and overall the service was pretty good. The views were great. However, the shower cannot keep one temperature - complaints among three rooms that my family members were in. That is ridiculous - its 2012 and we are in a developed country. At midnight the alarm on my clock went off. Again, the room maid should be checking that during every cleaning between guests to make sure that doesn't happen. I asked someone to come up in fix it. They sent someone up who hadn't touched one before and was new. After three or four minutes I asked him if he knew what he was doing and he said he didn't ......... I asked him to leave and just unplugged it. My cousin had her wedding here and it went perfectly. I would give it five stars on that.

If you are in Newquay and not a B&B type of gal, this is the only must place to stay. It is so old world England, you would do yourself a disservice not to stay here and experience it. Walking on the cliffs at sunset is surreal.

Our family had a birthday celebration whilst on holiday in Newquay so we decided to push the boat out and go for fine dining at the Headland. We were not disappointed in the quality of food, the service at the table was impeccable by the staff and the overall dinning experience was just perfect. 8 Happy customers and a nice sunset to boot. Points to note- its not cheap, you need to get a parking permit from the reception if only eating in the restaurant.
