“Fantastic Cottage overlooking the Sea”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2011
2
people found this review helpful

In early December we stayed at the cottages at the Headland Hotel. It was a week of heavy snow and ice in Britain but we couldn't have been in a better place than in the Headland Cottages. We had a great view over Fistral Beach from our living room and bedroom with a gas fireplace to warm the cottage. The kitchen was modern and well set up. The cottage was clean with a very well done, slightly modern, take on a seaside cottage.

Looking out at the Headland Hotel was another treat although moving the parking lot would have made it completely perfect. We had breakfasts at the Hotel restaurant which has a huge window overlooking the sea and enjoyed sitting in the bar and rooms in the evening.

It was winter and off season so it was perfect for us for a quiet, romantic weekend walking by the sea and spending quiet nights in the cottage. I imagine that Newquay is very different in the summer and a lot more of an assault to the senses but the Headland seems to be close to everything and yet still secluded enough, on it's own at the end of the beach.

There was nothing negative I could say about the cottage and the hotel. If you want your own little cottage overlooking the sea and beach with a remote feel while being close to it all I would recommend the Headland Cottages.

“Phenomenal service. Incredible location. Just wonderful!”

This will read like a list because there were so many things that were great about this hotel...
Staff - Just wonderful. They were welcoming and made the whole stay a joy.
Fistral View Room - Comfortable king-sized bed and palatial bathroom. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was a particular perk during our winter break.
Lounges - Several rooms (large and small) downstairs where you could sit with a book enjoying the open fires.
Leisure facilities - Great indoor swimming pool with long opening hours (7.30-22.30, no children after 21:30), games room for children and a full-sized snooker table hidden away.
Food - Sublime! Breakfast overlooking the beach. A choice of pastries, cereals, breads, fruits, yoghurts and cooked breakfast menu. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and a real treat. I'd also recommend the dinner menu - lovely!
Overall, our weekend was fabulous. They just need windscreen wipers on the windows so that you can see the beach through the spray!
Oh, and the staff were totally gay-friendly. It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend!

“Even more outstanding than the last visit”

Just returned from a weekend at The Headland after a gap of 3 years.The Hotel is even better than last time. Our bedroom was one of the newly refurbished rooms and have truly amazing huge en-suite bathrooms. The quality of fixtures and fittings are second to none.The staff are all professional and genuinely caring as usual and nothing was too much trouble. Reception even managed to supply me a toothbrush as i'd forgotten mine. The Headland is just a lovely place to be and I want to be there now.

How nice it is, these days, to find a hotel where the staff are genuinely interested in making your stay as enjoyable as possible. The location, food and staff are superb. We shall definitely be returning in the near future.

“Fabulous hotel and attentive staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2011

We stayed at this hotel because we had gone there once before for coffee and we really liked the look of this hotel. On check in we were made to feel very special and the receptionist gave a tour of the hotel and our room. We chose a Fistral Bay view room and we couldnt have asked for a better view, a view of Fistral Beach , the ocean and the adjecent golf course. The room itself was a little dusty in places but maybe it was an oversight on the cleaning Staff. The Bathroom was amazing an enourmous bath two wash basins and a double Shower with an overhead Shower head, the best shower we have had had in all our years of travelling. We had booked an evening meal for our first night and that in it self was was very tasty. The breakfast on both mornings was lovely with lots of choice. There is so much i could write about the Headland but to be honest words cannot describe the wonderful stay that we had there. We will return but next time we aim to stay in a Cottage in the grounds , we looked around these and they were also wonderful.
