The Headland

A grand, hulking Victorian pile on a headland in Newquay – famed for its starring role in the film of Roald Dahl’s The Witches – offering good food, cosy cottages and spectacular views of Fistral Beach. Activities include everything from surfing and stand-up paddleboarding to a contemporary spa.
