The Headland, Cornwall, hotel review

This grande dame hotel is legendary in Newquay, having occupied its very own headland beside Fistral Beach for 125 years. It balances heritage with modernity, along with superb wellness offerings and dining overlooking a view that never gets old

Location

Architect Silvanus Travail chose a stellar spot for his statement hotel, which opened in 1900. Standing in solitude on Towan Headland, it overlooks the wild Atlantic, with the surfing hotspot of Fistral Beach right beside it (though neighbouring Little Fistral is a quieter, more secret option at low tide). Guests can step outside straight onto the South West Coast Path for a hike, while golfers are a short walk from Newquay’s 18-hole course.
