My wife and I had a 3 day break at the Headland from 3 Feb. The hotel itself was a lovely period building well maintained and in good decorative order. The evening meal was a five course meal of excellent quality and the breakfast had sufficient variety to satisfy the most fussy eater. The service couldn't be faulted. A minor... More

Terrific to hear that you enjoyed your recent stay and the food in our Restaurant. Whilst your room was one of the more compact ones, I trust the wonderful view may have compensated. Thank you so much for your review. More

Spent 5 days there with a local tour company. Couldn't ask for a better hotel. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Food and service excellent. Room, clean and spacious. Tea/coffee and biscuits on day of arrival and departure. Evening entertainment and free gifts. Although we had coach tours every day, if you only wanted to spend time in Torquay the... More

Many thanks for your review, and it is great that you consider us fantastic value for money. I am though sorry you felt rushed during Dinner, particularly as our staff are instructed to allow guests to enjoy the food and their whole dining experience with us in a relaxed environment. Some guests require a speedier service and I apologise that... More

Stayed for a 'Turkey & Tinsel' three night weekend. We had Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day with good choices of menu. They did it all very well with unexpected 'extras' - Christmas presents, afternoon tea with mince-pies. Most rooms have sea-views. There is some on site parking for about a dozen cars, more is planned. A free... More

I have stayed at this hotel on two occasions the first was for a freinds wedding and the second time traveling on leisure. The first annoyance is that there is littrally no parking at all so you have to park mounting a grass verge. Check In was ok and the staff so so. Over all food was nice and the... More

Whilst the Receptionist you mentioned is no longer with us, I would genuinely welcome the opportunity to look into specific points, if you would care to contact me personally, so we can establish...

Have stayed at this hotel over an 8 year period, so have various members of my family. A lot of changes/improvements have taken place over the years which has resulted in very impressive standards.
