Guests say
Headland View in Newquay offers a restful space with modern amenities, praised for its cleanliness, warm atmosphere, and proximity to beaches and town. Guests appreciate the spaciousness for families or couples, and the welcome packs add a thoughtful touch. Some minor maintenance issues were promptly addressed, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Reviews consistently mention the property being clean, with spotless bed linen and towels. One mention of a mould issue in the fridge suggests a slight deduction, but overall, the property is well-maintained.
The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to beaches and the town centre, offering sea views and a sea breeze. One review expressed disappointment about the view, but the location remains a strong point.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the property is described as warm with plenty of hot water, some guests found the sofa and seating arrangements inadequate for four adults, and one bedroom lacked a wardrobe.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and quality bed linen. However, there are reports of a non-functional vacuum, a difficult-to-light gas fire, and a lack of smart TV and other modern amenities, which suggests room for improvement.
Guests were pleased with the welcome packs, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and there is only one mention, the score reflects this uncertainty.

Whilst there is a partial view of the sea the main view is of a car park. The apartment is in need of an update - the tv is not a smart tv so unable to view any of our streaming services; there is no smart speaker or radio; sofa incredibly uncomfortable and not large enough for 4 adults to sit comfortably; the gas fire is incredibly difficult to light; there is only outside seating for 2 people; one of the windows in bedroom does not shut; the fridge has mould under the milk shelf which cannot be cleaned as the shelf is super glued in place; there is no coffee maker or large cafetiere; no hairdryer; no toiletries provided in the bathroom; there is no wardrobe in the 2nd bedroom and the wardrobe in the other does not have a hanging space for dresses so they get bunched up on the shelf; there is only 1 bedside lamp in each bedroom. Whilst some of these are being picky, put together they made our stay less enjoyable and comfortable than it should have been for the price we paid. On the plus side we could not fault the response from Sykes when we contacted them to say that the bed had not been zipped together (as requested), that there were several light bulbs blown in the lounge and kitchen and that the shower head was almost falling off the wall into the bath. They sent housekeeping and maintenance the same day and resolved these issues. The apartment is in a great location and very easy to walk to the beach and town.
