INTRO
Welcome to our latest issue of Headland Lifestyle. We have had a blowy and stormy few months over winter and we are now looking forward to an exciting 2020 here at The Headland. The new Aqua Club and The Deck restaurant will be opening in just a few short months and our destination will be able to offer so much more for guests to enjoy. We are all thinking more about our wellbeing and our new pools will provide luxury spaces in which to relax the body and reinvigorate the mind. The Deck will offer the opportunity for guests to enjoy a delicious new Mediterranean-inspired menu. In this issue we give you an insight into our interior design for the Aqua Club as well as some exciting events and activities to get involved with this spring. I’d like to wish all our guests a wonderful time here at The Headland and I’m delighted to offer our five-star service across a wider experience this year.

THE HEADLAND LIFESTYLE
D E S I G N T H AT P AY S H O M A G E T O C O R N W A L L’ S U N I Q U E L A N D S C A P E The design and interior of the new Aqua Club is well underway at The Headland’s multi-million pound leisure complex, due to open in late spring 2020. The Aqua Club will comprise of six pools, a sun terrace with impressive ocean views, and a stunning new Mediterraneaninspired restaurant called The Deck. Local interior designer, Matt Hulme, from Dynargh Design is bringing his talent and experience of working in the hospitality sector, across Cornwall and London, to create a design that provides a calm and sophisticated oasis with ocean influences. Headland Lifestyle spoke to Matt about the creation of the interior of the Aqua Club and The Deck.
06
“Cool blues and natural tones have been used throughout the design which has been created to provide a seamless experience between leisure and dining. There will be a combination of indoor and outdoor pools at the new Aqua Club and so the flow between the spaces is important. The Deck is situated at the centre of the new experience, and is a natural break to connect the bodies of water. It can also be accessed by a welcoming boardwalk from reception”. The Deck will provide versatile dining; whether visitors are coming to relax in the outdoor edge and hydrotherapy pools, have fun with the children, or swim lengths in the fitness pool. It will be the perfect spot to stop for a light bite to eat, to recharge after a session of swimming, or experience evening dining in a beautiful poolside setting.
THE AQUA CLUB
Matt continues; “Finding the right balance between a welcoming, luxurious experience and functionality has been key to the design. Materials needed to be hard-wearing and waterresistant, yet stylish enough to reflect The Headland’s five-star sophistication. The architecture of the building is a work of art in itself, with graceful, sweeping curves and panoramic vistas. We are using materials that enhance the unique features of the building while also paying homage to Cornwall’s stunning natural landscape.” Inside and out, the Aqua Club utilises natural stone and its amazing texture to create something beautiful, yet slightly rugged. Combined with clean, crisp whites with hints of blue and green, the space is light and airy and provides a modern sophistication and elegance.
The reception has been remodelled from its original design to make a bigger impact for the visitor when they first step into the Aqua Club. Bespoke furniture has been developed for The Deck, reception and changing rooms, all of which has been created with functionality and style in mind. Darryl Reburn, Managing Director, says: “The interior design represents one of the final stages to the new Aqua Club and we are very excited to see it take shape. We can’t wait to share it with our staff, guests and members. Quality design that lasts is important as it has to sit alongside our current historic architecture and we are delighted at the results.”
Cool blues and natural tones have been used throughout the design, which has been created to provide a seamless experience between leisure and dining.

RECIPE WITH EXECUTIVE CHEF

RECIPE
Seared Cornish scallops, wild garlic aioli, three-cornered leek, chorizo and citrus
Top tip:
Wild garlic aioli
Method
It’s never a good idea to buy scallops that have been steeped in a container of water in an ill-advised supermarket and/or fishmonger. You don’t want them water-logged or falsely plumped up, they should be nice and dry for searing.
•
2 egg yolks
•
Small handful of wild garlic
01. Whizz the eggs, Dijon, a little salt and the wild garlic in a food processor until well combined.
Scallops are truly the ‘bonbons’ of the sea
leaves — blanched, chilled and squeezed of excess water •
1 level tbsp Dijon mustard
•
300g sunflower oil
•
100g extra virgin rapeseed
02. Drizzle in the oils whilst still processing and add the lemon juice to taste.
or olive oil •
Squeeze of lemon juice to taste
•
Seasoning
Hand-dived scallops are the ideal, and much more gentle on the environment, but you’ll find the price to be eye-watering. When they are very fresh, a squeeze of lemon and some seasoning is all you need. No cooking necessary... chilled, sweet and still pulsing with life. A death-throe squirm with a drizzle of citrus juice and down the hatch. Yum.
When cooking, there are a few simple rules 1. Use a very hot, lightly oiled pan or griddle 2. For a well-seared and browned crust, turn over for a minute or two, basting butter optional. 3. Serve immediately. Don’t overcook and don’t delay. These perfect morsels degrade quickly once cooked. Perfectly caramelised scallops, smoky chorizo, citrus segments such as orange and pink grapefruit... all combined with a punchy garlic
03. Add a little water if desired for a thinner consistency.
sauce... all very tasty and vibrant. Pleasing to the eye and the palate. What more could you want?
Three-cornered leek. Did you know? Allium triquetrum is a bulbous flowering plant native to the Mediterranean but also found widely around pockets of England, more so around the coastal areas of Cornwall. Also known as three-corner garlic and onion weed, the name is derived from the three-pronged nature of the stalk, as seen in the above picture. The stalks pack a leeky/garlic punch and the flowers are beautiful white droplets with green veins that contain a similar flavour hit. You can leave them raw, briefly blanch them, or quickly wilt in a little warmed butter... all very easy. Just be sure to give them a good cold water wash first.

S P R I N G in C O R N W A L L SPRING INTO LIFE IN CORNWALL AND SEE THE FIRST BLUEBELLS Birds singing, newborn lambs, beautiful colours… oh, we just love Cornwall in the springtime and we’ll let you into a little secret, it’s one of the best times to visit. We asked our partners at Visit Cornwall to give us their rundown of why spring is such a great time in Cornwall.
C O R N I S H C U LT U R E I S I N F U L L S W I N G We’ve got the World Pasty Championships at the Eden Project on 29th February with plenty of music to entertain you while you wait for the tasty results. We celebrate the life of St Piran on 5th March, one of Cornwall’s most popular saints who, by legend, arrived from Ireland to Perranporth having surfed across the ocean on a millstone. The ancient sport of hurling with a silver ball will be played out on the streets of St Columb Major near Newquay (take cover if spectating!).
B L O O M I N G M A G N O L I A S M A R K T H E E A R LY A R R I V A L OF SPRING Cornwall is always head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the country when it comes to shaking off its winter coat and, thanks to the Great Gardens of Cornwall (www.greatgardensofcornwall. co.uk), we’ve now got proof. They’ve been keeping an eye on the champion magnolia campelli trees at six gardens across the 14
county and will officially declare spring to have sprung when all six have at least 50 blooms. It’s always wonderful to see the first flush of pink emblems of spring at their absolute best, so get along to Caerhays, Trebah or Heligan super quick and catch them at their best.
IT’S THE PERFECT TIME TO SEE SEALS We’re not the only ones who are pleased to be saying goodbye to winter and a big hello to summer; grey seals have also been feeling the wrath of the cold, winter storms. Coinciding with their breeding and pupping season, winter has brought troublesome adventures to many of them, but thankfully the marvellous Cornish Seal Sanctuary has been on hand to rescue those in need from along the Cornish coast. Get along to the sanctuary now (early spring is the best time to see pups) to catch these beautiful creatures as they are treated to a spot of rehabilitation before they are released back into the wild. Newquay Harbour also has a resident family of seals and, if you pop down as the fishing boats are returning with their catch, you may well spot them asking for a snack from the fishermen.
THE FIRST DAFFODILS Daffodils and primroses start their spring displays early in Cornwall. The Isles of Scilly pride themselves on being the first in the UK to harvest their daffodils thanks to a warm climate.

GLORIOUS SPRING WALKS
ANTONY WOODLAND GARDEN, NEAR TORPOINT
Step out onto the South West Coast Path and you’ll find cliffsides draped in colour and teaming with new wildlife. The cliffs around Newquay and The Headland can rise up to a staggering 200 feet and are perfect for looking down into the ocean as well as across it. Please keep dogs on leads while cliff path walking. There are dog friendly beaches where they can run free, to the left and right of our iconic Headland location.
Next to the magnificent, National Trust owned, Antony House near Torpoint (where Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland was filmed) is the privately owned Antony Woodland Garden. This superb woodland garden contains 300 varieties of camellias, magnolias, rhododendrons and azaleas, plus both indigenous and exotic trees. The garden is also home to a National Collection of Camellia Japonica and is divided into three sections: The Wilderness, West Down and the Woodland Walk. From the Wilderness the path leads along the river and into a shaded area of trees, known as the Cathedral, where bluebells and wild garlic dominate the woodland floor in late spring.
C A R P E TS O F B L U E B E L L S A R E O N TH E I R W AY April and May are an amazing time to see carpets of bluebells in Cornwall, here is our rundown of some of the best places to see them.
L A N HYD R O C K E STATE, B O D M I N
MOUNT EDGCUMBE, CREMYLL, TORPOINT
Step into an indigo dream at Lanhydrock where nearly every inch of woodland floor turns blue, from the entrance to the estate right down to the River Fowey at Respryn Bridge. Combine your walk with a visit to Lanhydrock House and its formal gardens (National Trust).
Mount Edgcumbe House is the former home of the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. Set in Grade I Cornish gardens within 865 acres of country park on the Rame Peninsula in South East Cornwall and overlooking the Tamar River and Plymouth, the woodland around this historic house and estate is full of great walking trails and carpeted with bluebells in late spring. Dogs welcome.
TEHIDY COUNTRY PARK, CAMBORNE
GODOLPHIN HOUSE AND GARDEN, HELSTON
Tehidy is the largest area of woodland in West Cornwall with nine miles of paths and 250 acres of peaceful woods and lakes to explore, together with a café and picnic area. With a different type of beauty for every season, Tehidy is an enchanting place to visit all year round, particularly in April and May when the Cornish bluebells appear, making for an even more stunning woodland walk. Visitors may stroll around the lake, explore leafy glades and wilder areas of woodland or be immersed in the rich flora and fauna.
Discover Godolphin House and Garden tucked away in lush countryside with over 700 years of Cornish history. Soak up the peaceful atmosphere as you explore this romantic home and wander around the sixteenth-century garden, one of the most important historic gardens in Europe. It has barely changed over the years and boasts a beautiful path taking visitors through its winding bluebell wood.
L O O E V A L L E Y, D U L O E The hill valley descends from the village of Duloe in South East Cornwall down to the Looe Valley at Sandplace. The road (B3254) winds down (mind the two sharp bends) and is flanked either side by wooded slopes carpeted with bluebells. If you turn left over the bridge at Sandplace and park up at Tregarland Bridge, you can take the most idyllic walk on a public bridle path just above the Looe River and scenic Looe Valley railway. With wild garlic brushing against your ankles, walk along the path and enjoy views of the bluebell woods.
P E N R O S E E STATE, H E L STO N Penrose Estate, owned by The National Trust, is a mixture of rich farmland and woodland around Loe Pool, the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall and cut off from the sea by a broad shingle bar heaped up by heavy Atlantic seas. There are many paths to explore around the estate and it’s a great place for bluebells in early May.
PENCARROW HOUSE AND GARDENS, NEAR BODMIN Pencarrow House and Gardens lie at the foot of a sweeping valley between Bodmin and Wadebridge. The largely Georgian mansion is still owned and occupied by descendants of the family who settled there in the 1500s and has been open to the public since the 1970s. Bluebells and wild garlic carpet the woods in May and June. Free parking and dogs are welcome off leads in the woods.
GLENDURGAN GARDEN, NEAR FALMOUTH This superb tropical garden is fantastic for families, full of fun, natural beauty and amazing plants. Wander through the garden down to the beautiful hamlet of Durgan on the Helford River and walk beside the carpets of bluebells amongst fragrant rhododendrons. Watch birds and boats, skim stones and build sandcastles, or discover a boat-seat to relax on, gigantic tulip trees and ponds teeming with wildlife.
ENYS GARDENS, NEAR PENRYN Within the 30 acre gardens lies the open meadow known as Parc Lye, where the spring show of bluebells is breath taking. Visit the ponds, where the waterwheel can be found; the flower garden, which is gradually being restored to its former glory; a New Zealand garden, which reflects J.D. Enys’s plant hunting interests, and many woodland areas, showing different types of planting including many remarkable trees. Dogs on leads welcome.

Celtic & Co. A N E W Q U AY T O N AT I O N A L S T O R Y
16
C E LT I C & C O
It all began in 1990 when we saw an advert in the local paper for a small boot making business for sale. We bought it with just seven pairs of boots, two sewing machines and a hydraulic press and quickly taught ourselves to make them. Then, with determination to create a living in our hometown of Newquay, we decided to try our hand at making footwear from British sheepskin, originally for the surfers the area so famously attracts. We rented a small building in the middle of Newquay and employed just one seamstress to start with; then began making sheepskin boots, known now as the Original Celt Boot. The response was incredible, and we couldn’t make enough of them! One day, a keen customer came in requesting a pair of slippers be made for him, so we tried it, and the customer was thrilled. This was the birth of our best-selling product of all time – the Bootee slipper, still made today. When we started out, we named the company ‘The Original Ugg Company’ and we received an early registration of the UK trade mark ‘UGG’. We later sold the rights to it in 1997, which then funded the move to our first ‘large’ workshop and warehouse space. We changed our name to Celtic Sheepskin Ltd at this time and had to move premises several times as the business demanded more space, but we are still based in Newquay, the town where it all started. In 2013 we changed our name to Celtic & Co. as a way of retaining our distinctive heritage but also to reflect our wider product range. These days we are proud that Celtic & Co. has become a British fashion brand offering luxury products made exclusively from the finest, all-natural fibres, sustainably without impacting on style.
Nick & Kath Whitworth
Founders and still hands-on directors of Celtic & Co.
One of the UK’s largest retailers of luxury sheepskin products with a fantastic customer base worldwide. 17
THE HEADLAND LIFESTYLE
We are thrilled to announce that in April 2018 we were recognised by the Queen for our efforts, receiving the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, the highest official UK award for British businesses. Now in 2020, our 30th year, we are one of the UK’s largest retailers of luxury sheepskin products with a fantastic customer base worldwide including the likes of Judy Dench, Ian McKellen and even Pippa Middleton and HRH Duchess of Cambridge to name a few. When we founded Celtic & Co. all those years ago in North Cornwall, we drew inspiration from our surroundings, and it’s a landscape that still inspires our collections today. The sheepskin boots were designed to keep surfer’s toes warm and be machine washable, to remove tide marks. Thirty years on, we’re still handcrafting boots, slippers and flip flops the traditional way, but are also now renowned for a range of clothing and soft furnishings made from only the finest natural fibres, with understated luxury being the hallmark of the brand. We are proud to say that sustainability has been at the heart of our ethos from the beginning. For 30 years we have pioneered the slow fashion movement and take great steps to always look for ways in which we can impact our environment positively without impacting on quality for our customers. We avidly promote slow fashion and sustainability any way we can within our team as well as with our customers. This is commonly adopted with many companies, but we feel we are set apart from others because it isn’t a new concept for us. We have also made huge changes within the business over the last year alone by appointing a sustainability working group task force. We meet regularly and have already put in place plastic free packaging for customers. Within the company we compost all our organic waste, including tea bags, and recycle anything and everything having installed new bins in the offices
18
and factory to make recycling easy. We use discarded pallets for exhibition stands and DIY projects at home. We also utilise recycled corrugated boxes to ship our orders out. When we get a box back from a return, we reuse it until it becomes unusable, then we recycle it. As a company we stopped using plastic tape replacing it with a paper solution for our packaging and now use wooden pencils instead of disposable plastic pens. Collectively, we are making changes both within our businesses as well as throughout our wider operations to promote a more sustainable fashion future. This year, with it being a big one, our customers will see some of our best collections yet and a few revivals of old favourites too, to mark the occasion. We are very excited to be celebrating this year with our wonderful customers and look forward to meeting many more.

TH E WAVE PROJ ECT
Surfing as therapy is a concept that has taken off all over the world. Last year, surf therapy organisations from across the globe held an international conference, while here in the UK surfing is being prescribed as therapy by the NHS for children experiencing anxiety and depression. The organisation that started all this was The Wave Project, a registered charity based in Cornwall, whose very first surf therapy course took place right here at The Headland Hotel – ten years ago. Founder Joe Taylor said: “We have such a deep relationship with The Headland. I can remember back on our first course, the staff at the hotel were always so supportive. In those days, surfing as therapy wasn’t an accepted concept, so having a venue that supported the idea was really important to help get it off the ground.” That first surf therapy course led the charity to spread nationally – and inspire similar programmes all over the world. Now, the charity delivers programmes directly in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, while surf therapy projects modelled on The Wave Project are happening across
Europe and Australia. Later this year, the charity will be hosting the International Surf Therapy Organisation’s European chapter at a symposium here in Cornwall. “It was all a far cry from those early days, when The Wave Project operated on a tiny budget and depended heavily on the good will of volunteers”, says Joe. “In our first season, we were an entirely voluntary organisation,” he said. “We had no paid staff and practically no budget. The surf school here at The Headland – which ironically was called ‘Surfing is Therapy’ – were amazing in helping get the project delivered. The kindness and patience of the surf coaches was a model which we have tried to copy ever since.” Over the past decade, The Wave Project has been carefully measuring the impact of surfing on the mental wellbeing of children. The charity has gathered around 3,000 case studies and used a validated psychological scale to measure changes to their wellbeing.
21
THE HEADLAND LIFESTYLE
Evaluation of their surf therapy programmes has shown the children feel more confident, resilient and socially connected after a surf therapy course of around six weeks. The Wave Project’s evaluation data has since been peer-reviewed, and found to provide measurable improvements to wellbeing and mental health for children who are anxious, isolated or at risk of mental illness. Surf therapy quickly gained national attention for its remarkable results. Last year, the work of The Wave Project was featured in media all over the world, from the BBC to the New York Times. Yet staff at the charity are most proud of the real impact that surfing has on the young people they work with. One of the earliest participants was Charlotte Banfield, who first attended a Wave Project event here at Fistral Beach in 2012. Born with cerebral palsy and struggling with very low self-esteem, Charlotte used surfing as a way of improving her confidence. She went on to do a six-week surf therapy course, and grew more confident with each wave. Her resilience grew too as she learned to be braver in the water. By the age of 17, Charlotte was competing as part of Surfing England’s adaptive team. In 2018, she won gold at the Adaptive Surfing Championships in La Jolla, California, and hopes to become the first Olympic gold medal-winning surfing Paralympian. Charlotte has been one of the guests of honour at the Wave Project Annual Awards, held at The Headland Hotel each year, 22
alongside high profile supporters of the charity, like Olympic gold medallist Victoria Pendleton, snowboarder Jenny Jones, and reality TV star Lucie Donlan. The awards celebrate some of the amazing stories of surf therapy from all over the country, including children who have overcome trauma and mental illness, volunteers who travel 500 miles a day to help out at sessions and surf coaches who give all their spare time to deliver free lessons.

THE EDEN SESSIONS The Eden Sessions may have started small way back in 2001, but with a stunning location simply unlike anywhere else on earth, it was always destined to become one of the most unique and breathtaking outdoor music events to exist in the UK. Fast forward to 2020 and the event has grown beyond recognition. In the early days of 2001, the Eden Sessions consisted of just a handful of Indie bands. However, over the past 19 years it has seen the likes of Oasis, Elton John, Ben Howard, Pulp, Jess Glynne, Jack Johnson, Bryan Adams, Royal Blood and Blink 182, to name but a few, perform to sold-out crowds and rave reviews. The Eden Sessions are a series of live music concerts held during the summer months within the spectacular setting of the Eden Project in Cornwall. With visually beautiful surroundings and its natural acoustics, it’s easy to see why the sessions draw such big names within the music industry year upon year. Lighting up the summer sky with vibrant colours reminiscent of the wonderland ‘Pandora’, created in James Cameron’s visual masterpiece ‘Avatar’, Eden Sessions are truly a treat for the eyes and ears. Recently described by Q Magazine as ‘the summer’s most imaginative event’, and ‘the nearest you can get to watching a gig on the moon’, the Eden Sessions have continued to go from strength to strength and show no sign of slowing down as they approach 2020. With three acts already announced: Lionel Ritchie on the 17th June, The Script on the 15th July and Diana Ross on the 21st July, it looks set to be another great year ahead. The Eden Project has a strong ethos that runs through all the great work they do, connecting people with each other, the living world, and how people can work together towards a better future. When the Eden Sessions were created, they were designed not only to bring big names in music to Cornwall but also to encourage concert audiences to think about how they can reduce their impact on the environment.

Spa Experience The Art of Relaxation – Review of The Headland Spa
28
S PA E X P E R I E N C E
In an age when lives are busy, digital distractions are many and expectations are high in life and work, we all need to find a little ‘me time’. Where better to do so than in one of Cornwall’s most stunning spas? Perched high on the cliff above Fistral beach in Newquay stands The Headland Hotel and Spa. The impressive, Grade II listed building stands sentinel on the clifftop, giving way to an interior that harks back to its glamorous Victorian roots. The hotel itself exudes traditional luxury – think dark wood, gleaming brass and sink-into sofas, with views of the Atlantic rollers that are hard to beat. The Headland Spa, however, is a juxtaposition of style. As you descend the sweeping staircase down to the spa, leaving old-world opulence behind, you are transported to a modern haven of tranquillity and beauty, that boasts a five-bubble award for its facilities. The Spa’s central feature is the hydrotherapy pool which is surrounded by a Cornish salt steam room, Swedish sauna, hot tub and a range of showers to invigorate or soothe, depending on your preference. You are free to take your time here, letting the various water therapies wash over you. An ‘inner sanctuary’ houses the massage and Rhassoul rooms and, for the ultimate
in romantic relaxation, there is also a couples’ massage and hot tub suite. Each highly-trained therapist can tailor treatments to your individual needs and, after your treatment, you are free to let your cares slip away in the relaxation room. Get wrapped up in a soft blanket, sip on herbal tea and be soothed by gentle music. The Spa also boasts its own restaurant, where you can enjoy the same award-winning food from the hotel but in a more informal setting with the backdrop of the Atlantic sitting behind – lunching in your robe is the ultimate way to continue your relaxation experience throughout the day.

A N E S S E NTI A L PA STI M E AT TH E H E A D L A N D While technology has advanced in recent years, at The Headland there is nothing better than gathering round with your nearest and dearest to play a good old-fashioned board game, loved by both young and old - even if it does generate a few arguments over who has won. At The Headland we always see families and couples tucked away in deep concentration over board games, so here are what we find are the best (in no particular order – we can leave that to you).
CHESS
M O N O P O LY ( M U LT I P L E V E R S I O N S )
BANANAGRAMS
Monopoly is renowned as Britain’s favourite game. Whilst we might think of the familiar British edition with its famous London landmarks as the ‘proper’ version, the game was originally set in America. Families now enjoy many versions of the game including the argument causing ‘cheats’ version. As it is so well known, Monopoly is one of the many games that everyone can still play even with pieces missing, many have often played with real money too, just to make it interesting.
A relative newcomer when it comes to heavyweights of nondigital entertainment, Bananagrams is a fast paced, addictive game. A mix of scrabble and the TV show Countdown, the aim of Bananagrams is to be the first to complete a vertical and horizontal chain of words. Have your family and friends shouting ‘peel!’ every two seconds whilst at the same trying to remember how to spell...
30
A game of intelligence and forward thinking, chess has survived through the ages evolving from a variety of ancient similar games. Even a chess novice can appreciate the skill and art that lies in being successful at chess. Although, not necessarily the easiest thing to persuade impatient children to play, once learnt chess is a skill that will last a lifetime. You can use the giant chess set in our Little Fistral and Morning rooms.
BOARDGAMES
SCRABBLE
JENGA
The official rules of Scrabble now allow for proper nouns to be used, opening up a whole new world of celebrity names. Say what you will about ‘Jay Z and Beyonce’, but they do offer a brilliant way to get rid of those pesky Z’s, Y’s and B’s.
Believe us when we say we find Jenga blocks all over The Headland; under chairs and tables, in wardrobes and in kitchen cupboards. Jenga blocks (much like Lego) cause that pain to remember when you stand on them in just your socks. Jenga is an entertaining game, the aim is simple, players take turns to take out wooden blocks from the tower and place them on top resulting in an ever growing and unsteady structure. The last player taking a piece as the tower topples, loses.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT Released in 1982, Trivial Pursuit is a classic game, with wide ranging questions on general knowledge and popular culture. The game has been known to spark a number of arguments, with families apparently even disagreeing on whether the wedges you win represent slices of cake or cheese.
CRANIUM A staple of family get togethers and self-catering locations, Cranium is a brilliantly diverse and creative game. With its four categories, Cranium is designed to be “The Game for Your Whole Brain”, ranging from creating figures from clay to answering general knowledge questions.
B AT TL E S H I P S You can play this on paper (creating your own sound effects) or the posh electronic version. Battleships pits two foes head to head, both vying to be the first to sink all of the other’s ships. While the game is mainly based around luck, you can use skill to outwit what you think your partner will try to do.
CLUEDO The classic murder mystery game plays upon the skills of cunning and deduction, with all bar one of the players trying to figure out the culprit and the murder weapon. The Headland's spooky architecture lends itself well to a great game of Cluedo and it is often played in our side lounges. Cluedo makes the perfect family game as it's full of deception and guile. Certain parents can become so engrossed that the children may show some concern at their ability to commit a crime.
THE LOGO GAME Reflecting our brand aware society, The Logo Game is the game of things you know and love. The things that you’ve grown up with; things from your childhood and things from today. The game is not just logos, but products, packaging, flavours, characters, advertising, and the world around you. From the high street to your kitchen cupboards; from the car in your garage to the clothes in your wardrobe, this is one where the parents can be smug about knowing ‘The Smash Robots’.
...at The Headland there is nothing better than gathering round with your nearest and dearest to play a good old-fashioned board game...

REASONS
you should enjoy a family self-catering holiday in Cornwall Are you craving a holiday by the ocean with more freedom and choice? Do you dream of a holiday that brings you closer as a family but still gives you the space to do your own thing? Take a look at our 10 reasons you should enjoy a family self-catering holiday in Cornwall. 1. More Freedom Rather than be tied to timelines, you get to decide how tranquil, or how active your holiday will be. Whether you prefer to spend time relaxing in the sun watching the surfers on Fistral Beach, or you prefer getting in the ocean and having a go yourself, there is something for every member of the family. With no set time for breakfast, self-catering breaks allow you that lie in you have been dreaming of. Or, if you're an early riser, watch the sunrise over the waves with your morning cup of hot coffee, whilst the rest of the family are asleep. 2. A Wider Choice of Food Whilst all-inclusive hotel breaks have the pull of ‘all you can eat’, what they often lack is options, choices, and the ability to eat at a time that suits you. Self-catering in Cornwall allows not only the chance to visit one of many beautiful waterside restaurants and cafés where you can enjoy fresh, locally sourced produce, but also the chance to sit down together as a family in the comfort and privacy of your ‘home away from home’. If you are out enjoying the sun there is no need to worry about rushing home for the dinner service. Instead embrace the freedom, stay longer on the beach, and then grab something from your new favourite restaurant which you have discovered by exploring the area or have been recommended by our award winning concierge.

3. Time with the Generations With plenty of space, self-catering cottages allow you to create a very personal family feel to your holiday. Rather than being confined to one bedroom, you can be enjoying a glass of wine, or one of Cornwall’s many scrumptious local ciders on your balcony whilst the children bed down for a movie around our cosy cottage fires. Instead of being in separate rooms, come together for your evening meal and spend time laughing about the memories you’ve made that day with the grandparents. 4. The Most Beautiful Beaches Cornwall is home to some of the most breathtaking beaches in the UK, if not the world. From sweeping stretches of sandy shores, crystal clear turquoise waters, to magical hidden coves, Cornwall has it all. Popular beaches include the surfers' haven, and world famous, Fistral Beach; the paradise of Kynance Cove, and the always beautiful Polzeath Beach. Find out even more with our local beaches rundown which can be found on our blog at www.headlandhotel.co.uk/news. 5. Dog Friendly Dogs are just part of the family at The Headland. Being able to bring our four-legged friends is such an essential for most of us these days and the holiday wouldn’t feel complete without them there. Cornwall is so often referred to as the most dog friendly location in the UK, with over 50 beautiful beaches welcoming dogs all year round, a further 80 with some seasonal restrictions, and only seven that don’t allow dogs. Not only can they enjoy the beautiful beaches but many of Cornwall’s top attractions are dog friendly too. Take in the beautiful grounds of the Eden Project where dogs are allowed in the outdoor area on leads, or even visit Healey’s Cider Farm where you and your four-legged friend can stroll around the grounds, see the animals, and even enjoy a tractor ride together.
T O P R E AS O N S F O R S E L F - C AT E R I N G
6. Live Like a Local Perhaps the biggest reason to self-cater in Cornwall is to experience everything it has to offer, and to get the chance to live like a local. The Cornish community is home to so many amazing independent businesses, restaurants, cafés and experiences. By choosing to self-cater you allow yourself the freedom to become fully immersed in the local culture. Take that coffee in a small independent café overlooking the ocean; spend the afternoon wandering the shops for clothes, or even spark a conversation with someone in the local bar, and who knows, maybe they tell you about a secret beach that visitors don’t usually get to find and you make an amazing memory to last a lifetime. 7. Surfing Cornwall is famous for its year round surf spots. With so many unique places you will be spoilt for choice. The most famous is Fistral Beach, included as part of the pro-surf tour. This beautiful beach has cemented its place as the home of British surfing with wave chasers visiting from all over the world. The beach has waves to suit beginner to expert. With more surf schools than anywhere else in the country, Cornwall is the perfect place to have a go at the local’s favourite way to get closer to nature. Having your own self-catering cottage allows you to not only pick and choose when and where you want to surf, but you can also dream of tomorrow’s surf and come together with your family at night, telling stories of the waves you caught that day. 8. Cornish Film Locations Cornwall is home to many great attractions and is also the home of several well-known and much-loved television shows. Two of the most famous being BBC’s Poldark and ITV’s Doc Martin, both filmed right here in several locations. Many hotels offer bus tours at scheduled times, however, by choosing to self-cater you have the flexibility to potentially avoid the crowds and go at a time that suits you.
9. The Cornish Weather Cornwall was recently classified as having a sub-tropical climate, putting it on par with parts of Mexico and Vietnam. With an average temperature of over 10°C for more than seven months of the year and consistent sunny weather, it is little wonder that Cornwall continues to grow as a holiday destination for so many people. Book a self-catering cottage and take in the sunset from a private back garden, on a clifftop overlooking the ocean. What better way to end your holiday than by having a family meal with fresh, locally sourced produce in the privacy of your own secluded garden, as the last of the day's sun dips below the horizon. 10. The Events Cornwall is home to many events that range from music, art and food festivals to beach cinemas and much more. Probably the most well-known is the yearly Boardmasters event. The world’s biggest names in music come to Newquay to play in one of the most picturesque locations for any music festival, overlooking Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay. Book yourself a beautiful self-catering cottage and allow yourself to enjoy all the great music. At the end of the night replace a tent in a muddy field with a cosy cottage.

THE NEW
LAND ROVER DEFENDER 34 34
Headland Lifestyle took the chance to speak to Carrs Landrover in Cornwall about the new Defender, a vehicle we are expecting our outdoor loving guests to be arriving to us in soon.

LAND ROVER DEFENDER By Dominic Trewin Land Rover At The Headland we have some clear favourite vehicles in our car park. Rugged and versatile Land Rovers and Range Rovers often lead that list. 29th January 2016. The final Land Rover Defender rolled off the production line, and the deafening sound heard directly afterwards was that of regret. Land Rover knew they’d made a mistake of epic proportions. Even Ralph Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, admitted to the mistake, and said that “it was one of my toughest days to stop the Defender, the icon”. A new Defender has been in the planning for a long time, and it was never meant to be just the revival of the name, attached to some posh-roader that couldn’t cut it when the going was hard. It had to be a worthy successor.
2020 DEFENDER If you manage to catch any of Land Rover’s social media feeds, you can’t help noticing that it’s full of ‘reimagined’ or ‘of the moment’ and ‘reassuringly recognisable silhouette’. And while that’s more than just marketing hype (there really is something to it), the fact is, the Defender really isn’t like anything we’ve seen before. Sure, the ‘powerful, squared-off wheel arches’ give it a fantastic style and the ‘solid shoulders’ do share more than a passing resemblance to the predecessor, but let’s not get too 36
hung up on what was, look to the future and you’ll see that Land Rover have created something special. (Unlike the original Defender, it will be just as capable on-road as off).
D E V I L I N TH E D E TA I L Land Rover use a monocoque architecture for the new Defender, which gives it triple the torsional rigidity than the older bodyon-frame engineering. This isn’t soft and soggy like the original, but thanks to the clever suspension (a mixture of traditional coil and electronic air suspension) it isn’t firm enough to be uncomfortable. You’ll never feel under-damped or over-sprung. There are some features that point to its past – the Alpine lights and side-hinged rear tailgate for example, but Land Rover have done it in such a way as to make you feel that it’s all brand new, never seen before, fresh thinking for the modern age. Of course it’s a little softer, or perhaps that should be ‘friendlier’ than the original. It’s easier to live with and is more capable as an all-rounder; the original Defender might have got you up Ben Nevis, but the new one will get you there in comfort, and still climb like a mountain goat. Looking at the result of the 2020 Defender, you’d have to say that Land Rover absolutely made the right choice to finish production; to concentrate on bringing the model back as a ground up, completely reengineered model.
LAND ROVER DEFENDER
UTILITY
90 & 110
To add further credence to the whole ‘proper off-roader’ theme, Land Rover have given it a wading depth of 900mm, a towing capacity of 3,500kg, load space of 1,075 litres unless you fold the 2nd row seating flat, which adds a further 1,305 litres (expedition anyone?), short overhangs, an active electronic differential and of course, configurable terrain response. On the inside, things are still geared toward off-road and utility without being sparse or uncomfortable. Neat little touches like flush mounted door sills means the clean-up is easy. Exposed structural surfaces give an air of ruggedness, and hard-wearing fabrics on high wear points of the seats help to keep everything looking fresh. Small details, great thinking. Still looking for more? How about an HUD (Heads Up Display), heated seats across all three rows, adaptive cruise control, wireless charging, USB ports, connectivity… imagine a Range Rover with the ultimate in off-road ability and you’re somewhere near. Forget everything you knew about the older Defender, or imagine it 100x better.
Thankfully, Land Rover haven’t done away with everything to do with the Defender – it will still be available in the 90 and 110 variants, with delivery of the 110 expected to be early 2020, and the 90 coming slightly later in the year. With four choices of engine – two diesel and two petrol, ranging from 2.0 to 3.0 litre, and of course featuring mild hybridisation – it's all things to all people. And finally… the finishing touch, the coup de grâce for the competition… those perfectly formed, white steel wheels. They absolutely finish the job perfectly. Carrs Land Rover is situated in the Cornwall Business Park, just off the A30, making it easily accessible from across the county. As an approved Land Rover retailer, we are perfectly suited to provide you with new, approved used and aftersales services. As well as serving the Cornwall region we also welcome customers from further afield.

NEWS ROUND UP
DOUBLE AWARD WIN { for HEADL AND CONCIERGE }
Sarah Gaskin, our wonderful concierge, was awarded the title of Concierge of the Year at the Boutique Hotelier Personal Service Star Awards, and Regional Concierge of the Year at the Golden Keys Concierge Awards, sponsored by Morris Visitor Publications. Held on 15th October at Hilton Olympia, the Boutique Hotelier Personal Service Star Awards celebrates individuals from independent hotels across the United Kingdom who consistently strive to provide their guests with the best possible experience. The 15th annual MVP Golden Keys Concierge Awards, which were held on 24th October at the Park Plaza, recognise high achievers from the 400-strong British contingent of Les Clefs d’Or, or The Society of the Golden Keys. Sarah said; “I am thrilled to have received these two awards from such well-respected industry organisations, particularly in such quick succession. I love the role of concierge. I’m one of the first people to meet guests when they enter The Headland, and so I set the tone of their stay. Every day is a pleasure, and hearing the words ‘thank you Sarah’ makes me grin from ear to ear every time.” Sarah, who lives in Newquay, has worked at The Headland for eight years. Starting as a hotel porter, her passion to help guests and enhance their stay shone through, and she naturally leant towards the position of concierge. In her current role, Sarah performs a variety of tasks for guests; from booking taxis, restaurants and private jets, to supporting marriage proposals on the beach. Darryl Reburn, Managing Director, said; “We were so pleased when Sarah received these awards for her efforts. She works very hard to exceed guests’ expectations, and deliver the five-star experience for which The Headland has come to be known. There is no challenge too large or small for Sarah – in fact, the greater the challenge, the better she performs.” 2019 has been a busy year for Sarah, who in June was accepted into Les Clefs d’Or. A professional association of hotel concierges with approximately 4,000 members across 80 countries, Sarah is the only member in Cornwall and Devon, and one of only 19 female members in the United Kingdom. During her time at The Headland, Sarah has been a keen advocate of the hotel’s talent development programme, which supports ambitious employees who are motivated to excel in their careers within the hospitality industry.
“ I love the role of concierge. I’m one of the first people to meet guests when they enter The Headland, and so I set the tone of their stay. Every day is a pleasure, and hearing the words ‘thank you Sarah’ makes me grin from ear to ear every time.” – Sarah Gaskin
