Headland House Luxury B&B

Headland House Luxury B&B Overview

First Impressions

You know what hits you first about Headland House Luxury B&B? It’s the setting — perched right on Headland Road in Carbis Bay, this four-star gem feels like someone’s elegant family home that just happens to have the most incredible views. I mean, when couples are rating the location 9.7 out of 10, you know something special is happening here. The whole place has this refined but relaxed vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something locals would rather keep secret.

Location & Setting

Carbis Bay is honestly one of those spots that makes you wonder why anyone bothers with the Mediterranean. You’re literally a stone’s throw from that gorgeous sandy beach, but here’s the thing — you’re also perfectly positioned for exploring St Ives proper without dealing with the summer crowds every single minute. The coastal path runs right past, so morning walks become this almost mandatory ritual (in the best way). Plus, there’s parking on site, which anyone who’s tried to navigate St Ives by car will tell you is worth its weight in gold.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in felt more like a boutique hotel suite than your typical B&B setup. Everything’s been thoughtfully updated — you get that period charm without the creaky floorboards and dodgy plumbing that sometimes comes with historic properties. The attention to detail is what really impressed me, from the quality linens to the way they’ve managed to blend modern comfort with the house’s original character. Actually, the whole place feels like someone who really knows hospitality decided to create their dream guesthouse.

Breakfast & Dining

Now, breakfast — this is where Headland House really shows off. They’ve got everything covered: continental if you’re keeping it light, full English if you’re planning a big day out, plus vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options that actually look appealing. It’s set up buffet-style, which I was initially skeptical about, but everything stays fresh and the selection changes enough that you’re not eating identical meals if you’re staying multiple nights. The dining restaurant area overlooks the bay, so you’re basically having breakfast with a view that most people pay good money just to glimpse.

Why Guests Love It

Here’s the thing about this place — it gets the balance right between being special enough for a proper getaway but comfortable enough that you’re not walking on eggshells. The hosts clearly know what they’re doing, and that 9.5 rating isn’t just about the stunning location (though that certainly doesn’t hurt). It’s the kind of place where you find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even checked out, especially if you’re traveling as a couple and want somewhere that feels romantic without being overly fussy about it.

Apartments in Cornwall suit families seeking beach huts, full kitchens, and garden terraces for barbecue evenings.
