This is a lovely, well-thought through, B&B. Breakfast was good, the rooms were clean and ours had a good view from the top floor (Porthminster, four nights). Dave and Fenella are great hosts and the guest lounge is welcoming - including an honesty bar. Would definitely recommend the Portminster Cafe and the Porthgwidden Cafe for dinner tho worth booking if... More

We arrived in the most miserable weather conditions, however the warm reception and gorgeous interior soon put a smile on our faces. There is no stone unturned here. Everything has been thought of here without any fuss. Our bedroom was so clean and comfortable and the views were stunning, even with the rain beating down it was beautiful outside. Breakfast...

I was incredibly lucky to stay at this boutique hotel over the Easter break. Because of my last minute enquiry, I'd have to change rooms. The house itself is gorgeous, with lovely views and a fantastic decked area with umbrellas, cushions & blankets for relaxing during fine weather. The hosts, Mark & Fenella, are terrific: very helpful, friendly and great... More

We stayed at Headland House over the Easter weekend and had a fabulous stay. One of the nicest places I have ever stayed. The décor is beautiful, Mark and Fenella have obviously put a huge amount of work into creating a relaxing sea side hideaway! As everyone says on this site, Mark and Fenella were fantastic hosts, so welcoming and... More

My husband and I found Headland House through the Mr and Mrs Smith website where it had excellent reviews and looked like the perfect place to spend the Easter weekend celebrating our first wedding anniversary. We were by no means disappointed; Headland House really is a slice of heaven in Carbis Bay, with the perfect hosts in Fenella and Mark.... More

This place is lovely. The owners had a vacancy when we had an issue at another hotel and needed to move. They could not have been more helpful or welcoming. We had a sea view room on the 2nd floor, a comfy bed, nicely decorated with tv and DVD, a mini fridge and tea making facilities (and hot chocolate, yum!)... More

You've seen their website, you've read their reviews, you know what to expect. However, I wasn't prepared for just how far the staff will go to make your break special. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. Our room was as shown on their site, and immaculate. The communal living area was spotless, tastefully decorated and comfortable.... More

We loved our little room overlooking Carbis Bay near St Ives and found the hosts very welcoming and friendly. They couldn't do anymore than they do to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. We arrived at 4pm to a fresh pot of coffee and a delicious chocolate fudge cake, which were complementary - such a lovely touch! The hotel is... More
