Booked this beautiful hotel for my husbands birthday, stayed Sunday to Tuesday with a spa day booked on the Monday ||||Our room was lovely and the views were stunning! We had dinner at The RenMor - The staff were so lovely and the food was amazing! Also had breakfast.. again amazing! such a selection to choose from and we were always quick to be seated ||||The spa day was so relaxing we had the couples massage followed by the afternoon tea which I would definitely recommend! Later that evening we popped down to The Deck for Pizza and a cocktail and watched the sunset which was perfect ||||All staff went above and beyond - They all wished my husband a happy birthday and they were all so friendly - thank you for making our stay so special 🥰

We stayed in a sheltered sea view cottage for my son’s 30th birthday. There were 5 adults and we had an incredible stay! The 3 bedroom cottage was delightful. The pools are amazing, we all used the spa which was very nice and had breakfast in the Ren Mor on my son’s birthday which was brilliant! |I am so glad I chose the Headland Hotel it was perfect for our family celebration!

We have just returned from an offer we saw which was a Trio of delights, a stay in a cottage, an evening meal and spa treatment. All I can say what wonderful value for money, we hadn’t been to the Headland for five years and wow all I can say is the place is getting better with age. The refurbishments that have been done the wonderful Aqua which available anytime in your stay is all amazing not forgetting the breath taking views of fistral beach. The staff right from the start were extremely helpful and polite. We liked the laid back feel of the place but also the indulgent luxury, we most certainly leave it so long again. Thankyou

Myself and my girlfriend stayed a night for her birthday, having traveled 3 hours down, and upon arrival the front of house team were so warm and helpful from the get go. We were checked in within minutes, and bags taken for us, nothing was too much hassle. The facilities, restaurants and room were all perfect, and in our case perfectly decorated by the concierge team. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, including the night porter who assisted us and provided a seamless delivery of snacks at 12.30am! We would most definitely come back, time and time again. Thanks all for an amazing experience.

Dog friendly with a welcome treat as they enter. The film The Witches was shot here. Staff attentive and extremely helpful and friendly. We sat on the terrace overlooking Fistral beach - comfy sofas and table and chairs available outside as well as inside. Spotless.

Returned from a 4 night stay at the Headland Hotel New Quay last Thursday.|This was our second visit to the hotel and we had a wonderful stay. Our only concern albeit a little one, was that we thought the menu could have had more choices especially if fish is not your go to dish. However there’s a new restaurant due to open this week which I’m sure will cater for everybody’s needs. I have to say that everything else regarding the Hotel is amazing. Thank you to all at the Headland Hotel for another very enjoyable stay.

This is the worst Cornish spa I've been to, and I've been to loads as I live in Cornwall. I visited the Aqua Club for a friend's birthday. The inside spa was busy, lots of children, young people and selfie snapping. The pool is too narrow to accommodate many people at once. There are not enough loungers. The bubble beds with bases of rails are uncomfortable to lie on, and the following day the back of my my head has a raised bruise from resting it on the angled section. The music was more suited to Ibiza so not very restful. The outside section was packed, with nowhere to sit and no space in the water facilities. The only saving grace for this excuse for a spa was the lovely food and staff, although some in the kitchen were too loud. Not relaxing, not fun. I don't expect to bruise myself on spa equipment when using it normally. Shocking.

We have just returned from the Headland Hotel and overall we had a fantastic, relaxing break - the hotel has the most stunning views and wonderful spa facilities, with a great splash pad for kids. We also had a very good massage whilst there! However, for the price point there are certainly a few areas that need to be improved on. We stayed in a 2 bedroom sheltered sea view cottage. We had a beautiful little garden with the most stunning views, and it was secure for our toddler and dog which was great. However, the bathrooms and beds are in desperate need of being replaced and the standard of cleanliness was pretty poor... cob webs and sweet wrappers from previous visitors were found. We asked for my mums room to have a mattress topper put on and they just left it in the room for us to do (this was resolved when I flagged). During the stay the light clean was to a very low standard. We also had an issue regarding where we could eat breakfast with our dog and we were requested to pay extra to eat in their only dog friendly restaurant. After 2 conversations with a duty manager, this was resolved but the website needs to be clearer here. You shouldn't be expecting cottage guests to pay for a breakfast twice. There should be an option for customers in cottages to have breakfast with their dog without paying extra! I am also pretty sure this a change in policy from when I booked, when I looked back at my confirmation. Other areas of feedback: - Whilst dog friendly, they aren't overly welcoming of dogs with a long list of rules and above breakfast issue - Please have some toddler friendly cutlery and plates for meal times - Make the website clearer that roasts on a Sunday stop at 4pm, we were left really disappointed Sunday when we found this out. And the remaining menu in the terrace is quite basic - The reception area needs refreshing, it does not give a great first impression of the hotel - peeling wall paper, old carpets etc...

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.
