Noisy and smelly this time @ hotel we usually like

I do like this hotel. Staff always nice and decent food & bar. Room itself was tidy and clean but window open when we arrived letting in the smell of food from the very loud extraction fan outside our window. Had to close window to keep out smell which made room pretty hot. Fan was pretty noisy throughout the stay though one gradually gets used to it.

Good for Room 181. Very BAD for Room 147. Overall the Hotel is not bad. Located in a convenient location, walking distance to high-street. Hot spa for only £10 per person. I've booked 2 rooms. One is clean and tidy, the other is noisy and dirty. The room seems on top of the kitchen with hot air coming up. The staff rejected my request for changing room. She said that the hotel was fulled. At the end, she only provided a fan on request.

Room for improvement

Good location. My welcome was on the brusque side of efficient, my room small but adequate, but as seems usual with single rooms, was out back overlooking the bins. With a bit of cosmetic updating this place could be a real gem and I would stay again. The listing states ‘pool’, but when I asked about this at the hotel I was told it wasn’t a swimming pool but a plunge pool in the spa (for which you have to pay extra). So slightly misleading in my opinion.

Our room 172 was clean, spacious and included an en-suite walk in shower. Breakfast included English style cooked , yogurt & berries, cereals, fruits, toast with all jams, marmite and honey. mini pastries were also available. We ate in the dining room and from the bar menus. Staff were very professional, kind and gave service with a smile. To note Mel from the Spa was fantastic, we had x2 full hour treatments each

We had to cancel the room due to a broken pipe in my husband's home in london. The headland hotel refused our cancellation even though we cancelled at least 2 weeks before our arrival date. The manager was rude. Showed no compassion whatsoever. What decent hotel does this? The HEADLAND.

No dogs stay on leads!!!!!!!

The hotel Was dog friendly but there was a dog policy and I have a massive dog phobia but I read that dogs would be kept on leads. The hotel was full of dogs off leads in the bar and restaurant area and gardens and reception with no leads. I will never go back due to this and advise anyone to go back who feels the same as me. If ruined my trip I was even afraid to walk in the communal areas. I did let the staff know but they did nothing Infact they played with the dogs and encourage it. The rooms are dated and I didn’t enjoy my stay very sad and waste of my money

Very good value stay. Some problems with the drains, which led us to keep the windows closed, which was uncomfortable in the heat!
