Headland Hotel

Welcome to The Headland, a hotel overlooking Fistral Beach. Everyone has a favourite time of year at The Headland. Whether it's the cosy escape in a turbulent winter, the balmy summer nights or picnics on the beach, you're always welcome here at The Headland. Cornwall in the spring is fresh and revitalising. The storms take a break (usually), the sun sits higher in the sky, and the sea calms itself if its playing nicely. A great time for coast walking and exploring before high season hits. In summer the beaches fill with families and surfers, there are day trips out of Newquay harbour, sightseeing and fishing and long balmy evenings sipping cocktails on The Headland's veranda overlooking Fistral. There's cocktails on the terrace as the sun dips into the sea and poolside dining with Atlantic views. From crisp, cool air to the crunch of fallen leaves beneath your feet, autumn is a season of transformation and cosy comforts. Whether you're planning outdoor adventures or simply savouring the warmth of a crackling fire, there's something truly special about this time of year in Cornwall. Broody, magical, mystical. Mother Nature shows her strength. The seas lash the cliffs, the winds batter the coastline, but it's safe and sound at The Headland. Storm chasers gather here at this time of year for the spectacular views from our rooms and restaurants. And when the elements take a rest, you can venture out in to a spectacular landscape of low sun, long shadows and crisp salty air. The Headland is situated 1/2 a mile from the centre of Newquay right beside Fistral Beach. Newquay has superb transport links with it's own international airport and frequent train service. Taxis are plentiful and reliable.

Best for dog owners and couples after a spa break, with pet-friendly rooms, a private hot tub and pool access overlooking Fistral. Less good for guests needing on-site parking, since none is listed at the hotel.

Nearby: Fistral (700m) and Towan Beach (0.7 miles). See our Newquay guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
