About The Headland Hotel and Spa

Overlooking Fistral Beach, this stylish Victorian hotel features a Five Bubble rated spa, surf school, approach golf course and a wonderful sea-view terrace. Awarded a 5-stay AA rating, the Headland Hotel is a 10-minute walk from Newquay center. The impressive leisure facilities include a brand new Aqua Club which includes 6 outdoor and indoor pools (open all year round). The spa includes a Cornish salt steam room, a Swedish sauna, a hot tub, and experience showers. Treatments by Elemis, Voya and OPI can be booked in the state-of-the-art ash wood paneled rooms or work out in the fully equipped Life Fitness gym. There are three restaurants, and the hotel has been awarded an AA rosette. Guests can enjoy the best of Cornish coastal produce in the restaurant RenMor. The Deck as part of the Aqua Club offers poolside drinks, and Mediterranean dining. Afternoon teas and Cornish breakfasts are available, and the bar offers cocktails and fine wines. The spacious 5-star bedrooms at The Headland have free Wi-Fi access and satellite TV. All rooms feature a cozy seating area, a work desk and a modern bathroom with fluffy robes. The hotel has a communal laundry room, where guests can access a washing machine and a tumble dryer, as well as ironing facilities. Perched on a rugged headland, this hotel is just a 20-minute walk from Newquay Railway Station. Free on-site parking is available, and Newquay Golf Club is a 5-minute walk away. The surf school also offers coasteering, standup paddleboarding and private surfing lessons. The Headland is dog-friendly and up to two dogs can stay in each bedroom per nights. Regrettably, we are not able to accommodate any other pets. Our bedroom capacities are limited to maximum of 2 people. 1 adult and 1 child (12 and under) can travel together. Ugly Butterfly by Adam Handling is also available as a dining option but is operated separately from the Headland.

    Excellent Spa hotel but I didn’t realise there would be so many pampered pooches in the hotel. It was strange to see customers sit with dogs on their knees for breakfast. Too many dogs for my liking as it really was busy with them .

    Phenomenal location right by Fistral Beach and absolutely wonderful dog friendly. Supplied water bowl, treats, poop bags, and a dog blanket. Excellent restaurants on site, Ugly Butterfly was 10/10. No attention paid to special occasion as we had let the hotel know we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Worth noting this property does not have AC. Weather when we stayed was fine without as it wasn’t during the heat wave and we were supplied with a small fan for our room.

    The spacious rooms, views of the water, the pool and steam room area, Many seating areas on the grounds with views of the water. The breakfast in the restaurant was excellent. Within walking distance to Newquay. Breakfast for room service was a problem—I did not receive everything I ordered and they forgot silverware. But, after that, I went to the restaurant and was happy

    The hotel itself. The building. The history. Staff were very professional and kind Can’t say much on that one. My octopus was overcooked but I was offered something else and restaurant manager was extremely attentive straight away. I declined as I was happy to wait for my main. Handled very professionally

    Although an old building, it's in good condition. The location and views are second to none. The staff are well trained, and their personal touch gives the feeling of a luxury hotel experience. It's definitely not the cheapest hotel in the area, but combining a stay here with a visit to the (absolutely outstanding) Ugly Butterfly restaurant in the same building makes for a really special stay. I would advise against staying here during hot/humid times of the year - the hotel obviously has no control over the weather, but the old building doesn't have air conditioned rooms (well, mine wasn't anyway) and at night time the humidity made for very uncomfortable, impossible to sleep, conditions.

    We stopped here as part of walking the SWCP. And it was such a beautiful hotel and experience. We loved it! All the staff were amazing and super friendly/helpful. The spa was such a treat! And the incredible dinner whilst the sun set made it such a special evening. Would highly recommend! Our room could have been slightly larger. Though for one night it was perfect.
