The Headland Hotel

Visited today for afternoon tea. I haven't been to this hotel since I was a child, but strangely it holds a lot of past history. Both of my parents and my 2 siblings have all worked in this hotel. What a beautiful place to visit, the dining room is absolutely exquisite with views over the bay. Service was absolutely spot on, but didn't really expect anything less, and our afternoon tea was not only a feast in our belly's but a feast on the eyes. Thank you for a beautiful afternoon.

What an absolutely stunning hotel with fantastic facilities. We stayed for the evening for my partners birthday and was greeted with big smiles. The Aqua spa was insane! As was the pool and spa inside the hotel. We like to try different spas for birthdays/anniversaries every year and this one has been the best. Not only for the facilities but for the service. Amazing staff, amazing facilities and stunning views. We can't wait to come back.

Went for afternoon tea with the family, setting was wonderful, menu LOOKED fantastic. We ordered our drinks and one of the two set options on the menu at 2:30. When drinks arrived, all tepid and three were wrong (no marshmallows OR cream). Once reordered no previous cups or plates were cleared. No one came to see us for a further hour. After waiting 1 hour 15 minutes the food arrived! Nothing we had ordered from the set menu, was served to us! Just to finish our experience off, we ordered 2 bottles of still water and got flattened sparkling water.

My second visit to The Headland. I used to look at this iconic building when I was a little girl on holiday in Newquay with my parents. |I was able to share a brilliant long weekend with my Mum in 2017. Made very happy memories. |My husband & I with our two dogs have just spent an amazing weekend enjoying the festive atmosphere, Christmas trees, garlands on the stairs, seasonal music. Our room overlooked Little Fistral. The weather was stormy which was fantastic, there is no better place to watch the Atlantic putting on a display!|We ate in the Ballroom as we had the dogs. The food was delicious, staff very friendly and efficient, nothing was too much trouble. |I definitely recommend The Headland Hotel and Spa, an amazing place in a beautiful part of Cornwall.

The BEST. Incredible service from start to finish, with a wonderful welcome on arrival. A beautiful hotel in a wonderful setting which allowed time to be spent with friends gathered to remember and reminiss over a loved one lost. The Ocean view certainly didn't disappoint and the whole decor and en suite was tasteful and in excellent order. A great breakfast with a huge selection was thoroughly enjoyed with delicious 😋 coffee. Super waiter service with conversation 👌 👏 please keep up the good work and thank you.

Having visited the spa many times over the last few years, my girlfriend Holly and I stayed here for our 4 year anniversary this week with our dog Roxy. Everything was perfect down to the finest detail. The team were all amazing, especially Halo who always made sure we were having the best stay possible, Holly who welcomed us so well on check in, and the doorman (whos name we didnt get,sorry!) who was great to chat to. Roxy was treated like royalty (which she loved- definitely recommend bringing your dog!). The location is incredible, the rooms are lovely, and the ambience throughout the hotel cannot be matched. We will definitely be staying again soon. Thank you to everyone at the Headland who made our stay extra special!

We stopped here for coffee and views. Had the most delicious holiday coffees. Walked around and loved the public rooms. I imagined suiting and relaxing and reading a book or having a cocktail. The Christmas decorations were fabulous. The staff was very friendly. The views were fabulous. Wold definitely come back here

Enjoyed a stay at Headland recently off season, which was nice.|Overall its a very good hotel and the staff overall are excellent. Its a nice privately owned traditional luxury hotel where service matters. Views are amazing, decor is traditional but freshened up, Spa is great but missing a steam room.|A few hiccups with coffees not arriving at breakfast, no table salt and pepper and things like that. Also the room service menu, whilst being pretty good and tasty, was missing items most nights. Would give it 5, if these little details were ironed out.

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.
