The clock strikes 7pm as I venture down the sweeping maroon staircase into a scene straight out of a roaring twenties drama. Perched on a hillside, the Victorian hotel stands steadfast against fierce Atlantic winds as a burnt orange sunset radiates through enormous bay windows.

I brush shoulders with flappers in embellished dresses and feathered headpieces, while men in sharply tailored suits from a time gone by scurry into the dining room. Disappointed that I don’t have an invite to the exclusive murder mystery that’s about to unfold, but spurred on by an empty stomach and desperate need for a cocktail, I’m seated in the Renmor — one of The Headland’s exquisite culinary offerings.
One of Cornwall’s best-known hotels, The Headland overlooks Newquay’s famous Fistral Beach and has done since it welcomed its first guests in 1900, having been completed two years prior. Its expansive ballroom made it the perfect venue for orchestral performances and gatherings of the south’s high society, including King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, before it was requisitioned as a RAF hospital during World War II.
This year, The Headland is celebrating its 125th anniversary with a special offer that’s running from Jan 2 to April 3. You’ll be able to enjoy a bed & breakfast stay in one of the bedrooms or one-bedroom village view cottages from just £125 for up to two people per night — that’s a staggering £255 discount on the £380 nightly rate.
