We had an amazing stay at the Headland, one of my favorite city break hotels thus far. The hotel greeted us with a hotel tour that ended at our room, which had been upgraded 3 room categories. My favorite things about the room were the leather dog foot stool and, of course, the stunning views of Fistral Beach. If you are heading to Cornwall and want a first class hotel, this would be it. If you would like something self catered, they have gorgeous ocean front cottages. This hotel is 100 percent dog friendly!
You many recognize this hotel from the movie, The Witches,
(Roald Dahl.) If you are a history buff this hotel is full of great facts including:
Ghosts of the past
During the Second World War the hotel was requisitioned and became an RAF hospital. On several occasions guests have reported the harmless ghosts of men in uniforms walking around the corridors late at night, and in 1994 a guest was awakened by someone stroking her cheek - perhaps a gentle nurse checking her temperature? Extensive renovations throughout the late 90's may have awoken more of the ghosts of the past; one of several sightings include a woman wearing a maid's uniform disappearing through a wall into the Ladies Powder Room - spookily in exactly the same position as there was once a door.
