The Headland Hotel & Spa

Clifftop Victorian above Fistral, dogs allowed in every room

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A red brick Victorian landmark standing alone on the headland between Fistral Beach and Newquay harbour, with 80 acres of grounds, an Aqua Club and a set of self catering cottages behind the main house. Dogs are taken in every hotel room and every cottage rather than a small allocation, which is unusual at this level. The building is the one from the film of Roald Dahl's The Witches. It suits people who want a proper resort with the surf beach at the bottom of the garden.

Why it's in the collection

The South West Coast Path runs straight past the gate, and Fistral Beach is a two minute walk downhill with no summer dog ban to plan around. Crantock and the Gannel Estuary are a short drive for a calmer, sheltered paddle.

Best suited for

Two dogs per room at GBP 33 each a night, on a lead inside the hotel.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dogs are taken in all hotel rooms and all the cottages, not a set allocation. They eat with you in the RenMor and Ballroom dining areas and in the outdoor spots, and they stay on a lead everywhere inside. Fistral Beach at the foot of the hotel takes dogs all year with no seasonal closure.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
