WHAT WE LOVE...

With its wild and dramatic location and stunning Victorian architecture, The Headland Hotel offers an unforgettable coastal escape - either in the hotel itself, or in one of the beautifully-appointed cottages. Traditional elegance meets modern luxury at this spa retreat - famed for its starring role in the movie adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1990 mystery-adventure, The Witches. Expect a relaxed environment with lashings of comfort in an unrivalled location; The Headland is perched high on the cliff tops, its imposing red-brick structure giving way to friendly service and a timeless charm. It's the perfect getaway to discover the north Cornish coast, inviting you to relax and unwind in a beautiful setting - whether you choose an individually designed suite or a stylish cottage, there's plenty of opportunity to kick back and enjoy delicious seasonal dining - over three restaurants - and indulgent spa days.
