Headland Hotel

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Headland for a few nights. There's no getting away from the fact that it's expensive. Totally worth it though. You're paying for the view, the facilities & attention to detail. Room itself was good enough, not amazing. Very clean, perfectly comfortable. The views out of almost every window are stunning. The building is also lovely.

The staff are attentive without being pushy and we were well looked after. Lots of wonderful places to sit with a drink in the evening & breakfast was excellent every morning looking out at the sea. Special mention to their new(-ish) 'aqua club' with indoor and outdoor heated pools. Closest I've ever experienced in the UK to being abroad by the pool. Really impressive place.

Extraordinary experience from the moment you drive in! The welcome at the drive from the doorman to the moment you leave this is an unforgettable visit. We visited for the day with a baby and pram. The staff could not have been more accommodating, the food was exquisite with exemplary service. The views are stunning and the hotel has been kept to the highest of standards, and to a likeness of its original form which we loved.

The staff were happy to share history and we loved the fact so many staff have worked their for years. It's a great place. We can't wait to go back! We highly recommend having a cream tea!

Just wanted to leave a review to say what an amazing day spa day me and a group of friends had the other day! All the staff are incredibly friendly. The overall atmosphere of the place was just wonderfull. The spa facilities were 10/10! Everything was spotlessly clean, couldn't fault a single thing. The spa therapist Summer, who did my treatments, was lovely and very talented at her job!

I had the couture package and Left feeling very relaxed and papered! Thank you again headland hotel for a wonderful experience! Defiantly be back for another spa day sometime in the future!

A fabulous restaurant. Superb food and very professional staff. An outstanding experience. The 3-course menu was very affordable considering the high quality of the food. Fine dining at its best and to top that the happy birthday message for my wife on the desert plate made the night special.

Came here for food today and views are gorgeous. Food was well cooked. Toilets very posh & got guided tours around the Spa & Pool areas. The food was amazing but we booked in the terrace after the website saying dogs welcome and sat down and we got told to move as we had our dog. The website needs updating for this matter. Staff were kind & courteous to our family. Would definitely recommend.

We booked in for a couples massage. I had a regular treatment and booked my wife a pregnancy massage. Our therapists were Amelia and Summer and they were absolutely fantastic! We both felt that each therapist had understood our needs and were caring and attentive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spa to my friends and family. All the staff we had met on the day were lovely and next time we visit Newquay we will stay at the Headland for sure.

The doorman upon entry was fabulous! Staff in the The Terrace restaurant were very nice but not enough of them although it certainly wasn't full at 2pm. Ended up having to cancel one of the 2 food orders that just never arrived. The cream tea was fine though and good value for a tenner. Will try another time and see if it's improved given current covid circumstances.

Enjoyed a couple of days break. Comfortable room, attentive staff, excellent service. Great breakfast choices in a spectacular dining room. The Aqua Spa is breathtaking and has a range of pools both indoor and outdoor. A fabulous place for a break.

Such a warm inviting place to stay. Wonderful staff and great facilities. Everything I could want in the room, fab big comfy bed and plenty of everything like towels and tea and coffee bits. Fantastic spa and location. I can't wait to come back.

Fantastic location, very good service and always exceeds our expectations. Great value for money and friendly faces waiting to welcome you.

Amazing place that makes you feel like a king staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly the spa here has only gotten better over the years and the food is at a very high standard great place for anyone. And they welcome dogs

Really absolutely fabulous. We stayed for 3 nights over Christmas and it was the best ever. The actual hotel and its surroundings (right on Fistral Beach) are amazing. The spas/ gym are unreal and add to the complete luxury of the hotel. The rooms are really well appointed and comfortable. The food was exquisite, plentiful and varied. The Christmas menus were beautifully planned with Christmas Eve particularly memorable as a different wine was served with each of the 7 courses, chosen by the sommelier to compliment that dish.

The very best thing about this hotel are the staff, they were attentive, polite, extremely helpful, really nothing was too much trouble for them. A really well run gem of a hotel. We are hoping to come back soon.

Had my 70th bday treat here in January 2022 it was a dream of mine to become a guest here for the day. My experience of the new Aqua club facilities & massage treatments was amazing. Would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing day at Aqua Club. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, from the super friendly guys at reception to Scott in The Deck who was just a superstar with great chat and thoughtful observant service. The facilities are amazing & I'm definitely coming back for another few hours of relaxation at Aqua Club.

We have just had a meal in the Terrace for our silver wedding served by Jasmin. Beautiful meal and very friendly staff. Jasmine was very helpful and welcoming

The most amazing place. The staff are the best I've ever met. Nothing is too much trouble. We feel so relaxed here. The food is delicious. I just wish I could eat more lol. I would strongly recommend the Headland for the most luxurious stay.

Spa facilities were ok although quite small, so not a lot of variety. Like some of the other reviews on here the experience was soured by the lack of customer service when we passed on our feedback to the team. Customer service not what you would expect from such an expensive hotel.

The food, the service, the facilities are fabulous. Kristy on reception was so helpful. Bar staff make a cracking French martini. Visited week before Xmas and the Norway spruce trees are beautiful. Such a lovely classy hotel vibe. Our room 130 fantastic.

I had the most incredible stay here. Everything was wonderful. I loved every minute of it. Thank you to the most amazing, friendly, welcoming and brilliant staff. Everything was at the highest standard. I felt so lucky throughout my entire stay. It was an experience I'll never forget.x

Festive afternoon tea. What a treat. Friendly staff, beautiful location.

I have been using Aqua club only. Place was super clean, changing rooms properly equipped, not super busy - really relaxed! The only thing which I would recommend is to fix sauna doors as they are not installed properly and do not closing in full what leave space for the air to come in.

Went for afternoon tea. Hotel is located in a great place with stunning views. There is free parking onside for guests and you can walk down to the beach from there. Afternoon tea was nice, good selections of cakes and sandwiches but I wish there was a bit more selection in the sandwiches and maybe some more tea options. Staff were nice. Hotel was clean and well maintained but does feel a bit dated now.

After reading the reviews my family thought we'd pop in and have a look around and have a hot drink. On walking to the hotel we were told that the hotel was at full capacity. Refused point blank at the door. Shame really as we just wanted to have a look for future booking but to be refused entry at the door was quite something. I've had a lot of nice things to say about places during our holiday but this is at the bottom of the list. A real shame.

Enjoyed a perfect weekend at this beautiful hotel, the room was elegant and very comfortable, staff were always friendly and polite, breakfast was excellent - and the views were magnificent. I was delighted to be able to bring my dog with me as well for a very reasonable extra charge. I cannot wait to return and really hope I get to stay in one of the sea facing rooms with a balcony next visit.

A fantastic hotel in an incredible location. The food is great, the aquaclub facilities brilliant and the hotel itself comfortable and welcoming. Yes, the service was a little hit and miss but what do you expect when booking a holiday in the current situation? The staff who were there were unfailingly polite and helpful and waiting a little longer for a drink is no hardship.

The room was a little stuffy at night but that's a minor issue - the bed was comfortable and the bathroom large and spotlessly clean. Really enjoyed our break and will definitely be back.

Beautiful old hotel. Amazing location right next to the Atlantic. Wonderful service. Great food. We had dinner and breakfast here on a one night stop during a Cornwall tour and loved it. The spa was a lot of fun too. Absolutely want to return for a longer stay next time.

My sister-in-law found this hotel through Conde 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.

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.

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.

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.
