Headlands Hotel and Restaurant

The hotel bar and lounge have spectacular sea views across the bay to Port Isaac. The well-stocked bar is an ideal place to sit and watch the sun go down. The fishing boats will be returning to Port Isaac with the day’s catch and, if you are lucky, there may be a school of dolphins to provide the evening’s entertainment.

The lounge is a comfortable spot to sit and relax. There are views over the cliffs as far as Tintagel and the ruins of King Arthur’s legendary castle, across the bay to Port Isaac and down to the hamlet and cove of Port Gaverne. In winter there is an open log fire to welcome you.

The hotel has eleven bedrooms, all with sea views. They are individually furnished to the highest modern standards to ensure your comfort. Of course, they all have en-suite bathrooms, colour TV, direct dial telephone and tea/coffee making facilities. Due to the hotel’s tranquil rural location, the rooms are all very peaceful with nothing more than the sound of the sea to lull you to sleep. The hotel also has a sauna and impulse shower to ease away the aches and pains after a hard day’s walking or on the golf course.

Headlands has extensive grounds, some of which is formal gardens and some left wild for nature lovers. The gardens are a lovely place to spend a quiet summer’s day, perhaps enjoying lunch on the lawn. There is direct access to the cliffs and Port Gaverne’s small sheltered beach, which is very safe for bathing and is rarely crowded even in the height of summer.

The coastal footpath passes through the hotel grounds, making it the perfect base for walkers wishing to explore the dramatic beauty of the North Cornwall coast. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement.
