Everything about The Headland Hotel totally explained
The
Headland Hotel is located in
Newquay,
Cornwall,
England,
United Kingdom. It overlooks
Fistral Beach. The hotel is the setting of the film
The Witches, the 1990 adaptation of
Roald Dahl's novel.
In 1897 the
Headland Hotel Company
was formed, and the Headland Hotel opened its doors for business in June 1900. It was considered highly luxurious for its time – with fireplaces, hot and cold running water, electric lights, and electric service bells. It has attracted several royal visitors, including Edward VIII, King George VI, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. London orchestras would come and play here throughout the summer season, and at its best the ballroom saw at least 300 guests waltzing on its wooden, coil-sprung floor.
With a 75-year family history of owning and running hotels in Newquay, John and Carolyn Armstrong bought the hotel in a rundown condition in 1979 with the help of John's shrewd mother. Bedruthan Steps, Sands Resort, Watergate Bay and the Nare Hotels are owned by the family, as are Watergate Bay's Beach Hut Restaurant and Extreme Academy. In less than 30 years they've spent well over £12 million on an extensive facelift of the hotel. One of the most radical developments has been the building of Cornwall's first five-star Cornish theme holiday village on the headland overlooking Fistral Beach.
Boasting a unique history, location and architecture, the Headland Hotel is a Grade II listed building on a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (being a raised beach containing many interesting fossils).
