Torqay marina to the right, Meadfoot beach to the left. Everything at the hotel is first class, rooms food and two very profeshional acts... More

We arrived at the hotel just in time for the evening meal and was greeted at the reception by the manager. We found our way to our room and headed for the dining room where the fantastic 6 course evening meal awaited us. We have stayed here before and knew what a treat we were about to have. The service... More

Thank you for your excellent feedback and we are thrilled you so liked your stay. Although your room was not an Executive one this time, I am glad you found an alternative one comfortable and well-equipped. I was very concerned to hear about your fuel, and we will be closely looking out for anything like this, along with our neighbours.... More

I would certainly recommend this very friendly hotel.The weekend break was a lovely surprise from my other half. I couldn't believe how reasonably priced he said the stay was. We were upgraded to an executive room and had a pot of coffee and biscuits on arrival. The six course evening meals were beautifully presented and served efficiently by Peter. Breakfast... More

I was unfortunate enough to fall ill during my recent holiday at this hotel with a stomach bug. The manager and staff went out of their way to ensure that I, and my wife were comfortable and well catered for whilst confined to our room. This is a fantastic hotel situated just outside the main town area but easily accessed... More

They took us to The Headland Hotel in Torquay last week door to door for 5 days for the price of £185.00. The Headland Hotel could not have been better at any price. The food was absolutely outstanding so much choice and cooked to perfection every meal. The room we had was well decorated good size and a beautiful sea... More

REVIEW OF RESTAURANT ONLY. In many ways, the Headland Hotel is perfect- a great location, a warm, clean and comfortable interior and polite and friendly staff. The big letdown however is the food. We went on Mothers Day and, to be fair, alarm bells should have sounded louder when I read that the three course lunch was only £13.95. Starters... More

Just returned from our holiday at the Headland hotel and really enjoyed our stay there. The holiday was a 5 day break with a coach company and I can honestly say the food we had there was very good.
