Room for improvement

Good location. My welcome was on the brusque side of efficient, my room small but adequate, but as seems usual with single rooms, was out back overlooking the bins. With a bit of cosmetic updating this place could be a real gem and I would stay again. The listing states ‘pool’, but when I asked about this at the hotel I was told it wasn’t a swimming pool but a plunge pool in the spa (for which you have to pay extra). So slightly misleading in my opinion.

Our room 172 was clean, spacious and included an en-suite walk in shower. Breakfast included English style cooked , yogurt & berries, cereals, fruits, toast with all jams, marmite and honey. mini pastries were also available. We ate in the dining room and from the bar menus. Staff were very professional, kind and gave service with a smile. To note Mel from the Spa was fantastic, we had x2 full hour treatments each

We had to cancel the room due to a broken pipe in my husband's home in london. The headland hotel refused our cancellation even though we cancelled at least 2 weeks before our arrival date. The manager was rude. Showed no compassion whatsoever. What decent hotel does this? The HEADLAND.

No dogs stay on leads!!!!!!!

The hotel Was dog friendly but there was a dog policy and I have a massive dog phobia but I read that dogs would be kept on leads. The hotel was full of dogs off leads in the bar and restaurant area and gardens and reception with no leads. I will never go back due to this and advise anyone to go back who feels the same as me. If ruined my trip I was even afraid to walk in the communal areas. I did let the staff know but they did nothing Infact they played with the dogs and encourage it. The rooms are dated and I didn’t enjoy my stay very sad and waste of my money

A few little tweaks and it would be incredible

The hotel is beautiful. The reception area, restaurant and bar area are modern, clean and comfortable. The staff are all lovely and friendly however, the heating wasn’t working the first night and I had to sleep in a hoody because the room was freezing. Even though we paid for breakfast and evening meal, we still had to pay £10pp extra for each visit to the pool. It isn’t a swimming pool, it is 3 separate hydrotherapy pools. The jacuzzi is as filthy. My husband and I climbed in, as 2 others got out and the water dropped a little it revealed a brown scum line. We then noticed the foam on top of the water was brown. I then got out, went back to my room to shower having spent 10 mins max in there for £10. My husband paid for a massage for the both of us. I would have paid not to have one. I was left questioning if the therapist was even qualified. It was THE most horrific experience. The receptionist was fantastic. The food was incredible. The location is great. It’s just a shame these few things let it down so much. If you pay extra for a superior room, and don’t use the spa I truly believe you’ll have the most amazing stay.

We booked this hotel as a last mimute thing for a surprise weekend away for a burthday.The hotel was spotless. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel had some amazing views and lovely gardens. We didn't get to use the spa as only there from a Saturday to Monday so can't comment on that, both the restaurant and galaxy lounge were lovely. Good food. Overall a really lovely hotel and we will definitely be returning.

A good restful stay. Really good location - walk down hill and get a taxi back up. Parking a slight issue but not a deal breaker. Rooms need updating but it is a standard seaside hotel. Best part of this hotel is the views - they are top notch.
