A Dramatic Location on the Headland

A dramatic location on the headland near Fistral Beach, with an award-winning spa and AA Rosette restaurant – includes spa access and more

Accommodation

The Headland overlooks the postcard-perfect Fistral Beach in Newquay. Winner of two prestigious Gold Awards at the Cornwall Tourism Awards and Gold and Silver accolades at the South West Tourism Excellence Awards, this family-run hotel dominates the coastline and the original building featured in the memorable film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Witches.

Splendid rooms are spacious and traditional, exuberating luxury. You can expect traditional luxury at its best in the Coastal View rooms, which have views right across the coastline and towards Trevose Lighthouse. Crisp linens and plush furnishings underpin the luxury experience alongside satellite TV and Wi-Fi access, as well as a separate seating area, work desk and modern bathroom.

Cosy in the winter and refreshing in the summer, the One, Two and Three Bedroom cottages are airy and painted in fresh, seaside hues. Each has an excellent, open-plan working kitchen, a log-effect gas fire and lots of space. Outdoor decks and living areas provide a lovely touch, with scenic sea or village views.

Dining

Recently awarded its second AA Rosette, The Headland's Samphire Restaurant features jaw-dropping ocean views as well as dining to die for. Drink or dine alfresco on the terrace as you take in the gorgeous sunset, and don't miss out on a Cornish breakfast or afternoon cream tea – expect finger sandwiches, generous portions of cake, clotted cream and homemade scones.

Spa

The hotel spa, the first one in Cornwall to be rated Five Bubbles, includes a Cornish salt room, a Swedish sauna, aromatherapy showers and a hot tub. A range of treatments are available here too, from marine-themed rituals to ELEMIS massages – true relaxation and bliss.
