“The Headland Hotel & Spa boasts impressive seaside views from its dining areas, and offers unique hydrotherapy treatments; however, some facilities require reinvestment. With its Table d'Hote menu and proximity to Meadfoot Beach, the hotel could be ideal for families and couples alike. Overall, there's potential here, but updating is needed.”
