If you need a reason to visit Cornwall, the headland hotel and cottages are it. All finished to a high standard with spectacular views. The hotel itself has the right mix of old fashioned hotel charm and contemporary styling. The cottages are a home away from home. The service in the hotel is always outstanding, the bar and terrace staff... More

Had a lovely 4 night stay in the hotel. We stayed in a Fistral Suite which was ideal for us and our 4 year old grandson. Plenty of space and very comfortable. It really is home from home for him now as this was his 9th visit. The location is brilliant for days on the beach followed by a dip... More

I recently booked a spa afternoon at the Headland Hotel for my friend's hen party. I was blown away by the service I received. The spa manager Martina was extremely helpful with planning in the lead up to the day. On arrival we were met by 2 of the spa therapists who looked after us throughout the afternoon. As well... More

We try to visit this hotel at least once a year because it's definitely special - wonderfully spacious, comfortable and stylish but not at all pretentious. It's a really family friendly hotel with delightful staff and we can take our dog too! He loves walking on Fistral beach and along the cliff paths. We've just experienced the worst weather we've...

Thank you for your review. We have been unlucky with the weather of recent but as you described the Hotel has plenty of facilities to keep you occupied when the wind is howling outside.

I have heard great things about this hotel and had booked a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. Unfortunately we have a death in the family near our reservation. The management team was considerate and great to work with. We look forward to staying here in the future given their focus on customer satisfaction.

Due to a problem walking my wife and I cancelled a holiday abroad but decided we needed a nice break in the UK, for this we looked at a number of hotels in Cornwall that provided a good standard.

The hotel is beautiful, and the staff, without exception, brilliant. We stayed here at the recommendation of friends, who we came with this time. Their room was lovely, we paid £12 less and our room just didn't compare! To make it worse we were in an interconnecting room and the room next door had two men staying, part of a... More

This is a gorgeous, elegant hotel with overtones of 30s glamour and possibly the friendliest staff on the entire riviera...and yet I can't help but feel that it could be a genuinely superb international destination. Even the royals stayed here...back in 1911...and they've probably coasted on that as the continent opened up and the demand for elite coastal hotels evaporated.... More

We did indeed have Royalty stay at The Headland and they were not disappointed! English seaside holidays I hope are on the up, we may not be able to compete with the continent weather-wise but we do have a fantastic location with views that any country would envy. Our staff take enormous pride in their work and this is reflected... More

The 40 classic cars with their eighty occupants visited the hotel for a short coffee and refreshment stop whilst en route to Cape Cornwall having commenced their journey six days earlier at Cabo da Roca, Portugal. The staff looked after all in an efficient manner with many suggesting that they would re-visit the hotel when more time was available.

Another return trip back to the headland cottages, this year with a nearly walking one year old, so we chose a cottage all on one level so as not to worry about stairs etc. Waterside 1 is tucked round the back and was spacious, had an enclosed garden and was lovely and quiet.
