Based on reviews and a quick check of the hotel website we had high hopes of a clean tidy hotel. On arrival all was seemingly well until we entered the room. Overall the room just seemed a bit tired and in need of a little love. The dated bathroom was damp smelling with dirty splash marks around the sink from the previous guests. There was a thick layer of dust around carpet edges and corners where it may have taken a little more time to clean. The coffee cups were adhered to the drinks tray with sticky runoff from the previous attempt at a rinse and the spoons were stuck inside the bottom of the cups with sticky mess. As the booking was made through a third party there was a charge for using the spa. This was not indicated anywhere in the hotel info on the third party sites. The hydropools were a little tired and the locker doors were missing so no facilities to safely store your belongings.

Excellent value for money- everywhere was spotlessly clean. We were lucky enough to have a great sea view( though not booked). Evening meal in the bar and breakfast were excellent. All staff very friendly. The hotel is positioned in a fantastic spot overlooking the bay with great views from the hotel . Short walk down to Meadfoot Beach.

Staff all friendly and helpful without any prompting. Interior looked modern and fresh looking . A nice quiet location with good view. Free parking and WiFi everything easy and more than I expected for the price I paid . The spa was great clean and a good experience. Good breakfast the only thing I would say is needs more than one coffee machine a bit slow if others in front but great coffee. The lighting in my room was too bright with no table lamp but was quickly rectified by the room service lady within 5 minutes amazing . Will visit again worked for me who is generally quite fussy person who never really finds a room that totally suits. It was a budget last minute room may upgrade a bit next time the slightly better rooms looked spot on . Thanks for a comfortable problem free stay I may even come with someone else next time . Would recommend to give it a try whatever age range .

Located a little out of the centre, suited me as quiet with great views, but may not suit less mobile if they want to walk anywhere as very hilly area. Clean, comfortable room, pleasant staff, good breakfast. Hotel does host coach tours, which again may not suit everyone.

Walked out!
The only time I've ever walked out of a hotel because of the incredibly poor standard of accommodation was at The Headland Hotel last weekend. The bedroom was made up of old tatty, chipped furniture, but that wasn't the main reason. I've never seen a bathroom like Room 136 since the 50s. I have no idea how the hotel can expect a paying customer to put up with something so poor, including broken window blinds meaning no privacy, one of 4 ceiling lights working, and a mirror so small it was pointless. We were offered room 147 as another option but were told there's a kitchen fan right outside which is on and noisy from 6am to 9pm. No thanks. And when taking my complaint to the operational manager, his response to a colleague was, 'What does he expect us to do, magic up a new room?' Not very customer friendly. And of course, no offer of a refund (taking that up with Hotels.com).

Wonderful property and view.
Wonderful property and staff. I only stayed for one night however all members of staff were lovely. I got a massage with Sara and it was excellent. I understand lobby has recently been renovated and the rooms are next. My room was not updated however it was clean and I'd definitely return. There was a wedding going on and they took care of all guests not just the wedding party.
