    For doing the SWCP this location was ideal -as it also was for the beach, town centre and railway station. It is room only but no shortage of shops, cafes etc within 10 mins. Communication with proprietor excellent.

Company information

We bought Headlands in June 2005 and since then we have made a great many changes to the guest house. Over the years, as our family has grown, we have had to make some changes to the day to day running of our business, the facilities offered and the general lay out of the guesthouse. All the changes have been made to try and balance our work & home life but also with our guests at the front of our minds to ensure that we remain true to our ethos of great value, clean and comfortable accommodation. Therefore, we are "room only" accommodation for individual reservations (a takeaway breakfast bap is available as an option extra for group bookings). Our check in is contactless (via a lock box) as is our check out - however, we live on the premises so we can be on hand to be able to help our guests with any queries or issues that they may have. All of our rooms have been modernised and decorated over the years in order that we can ensure our guests enjoy a comfortable stay with us. Our ensuite bathrooms are small but functional, all our double beds are a standard 4ft6" and have the same quality mattresses that we sleep on in our own home - we believe that a comfortable night's sleep is key to an enjoyable holiday.
