Why we love it
The setting
The Headland Hotel & Spa sits on the clifftop at Meadfoot, a short walk from the South West Coast Path and the small beaches that line this part of the Torquay coast. The building looks out over the water, and most of the rooms face the sea or the gardens. It is set back from the busier harbour area, so the location is quiet, but you can still reach the town centre on foot in around twenty minutes.
What to expect
This two-night stay puts you in a Standard Double room with a full double bed and a private bathroom, at roughly 20.8 square metres. The deal price covers the room with no meals, so you can add breakfast at booking if you want it. The hotel has an indoor hydrotherapy pool and a spa, plus a terrace and lounges that face the gardens and the coast. Free WiFi is included throughout.
Things to do nearby
The South West Coast Path runs almost from the door, with the trailhead about 96 metres away. Meadfoot Beach is a five-minute walk at 326 metres, and Peaked Tor Cove and Beacon Cove sit a little further along the same stretch. The Little Theatre is 132 metres away, and Torquay Inner Harbour, with its restaurants and the marina, is under a kilometre on foot. Torre Abbey Sands is 1.6 kilometres along the seafront.
Best for
Couples after a quiet coastal break with spa time. The clifftop setting and sea-facing rooms suit walkers and anyone who wants the Coast Path on the doorstep rather than the busier town centre.
