Just a short drive from the city, Langdon Hall Country House Hotel & Spa offers a countryside escape that feels a world apart. Driving up the tree-lined lane, the stately red-brick manor emerges like a scene from an English period film, surrounded by manicured gardens and acres of woodlands. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, blending old-world charm with modern comforts.
Langdon Hall is one of those rare destinations that adapts beautifully to the kind of trip you want it to be. It can feel like a romantic escape for couples, a rejuvenating retreat for solo travelers, a gathering place for friends, or even a luxurious family getaway.
Accommodations with Character
Each of the 60 guest rooms and suites has its own personality, but all share a commitment to comfort and detail. Some are nestled in the main house with garden or woodland views, while others are found in adjoining buildings like the Cloisters or the Stables.
During our stay, we settled into one of the Stable Lofts, a space that felt both sophisticated and cozy. The room was anchored by a king-size feather bed dressed in crisp linens, making nights feel indulgent. The bathroom was another highlight, featuring a therapeutic soaking tub, a spacious walk-in shower, and an additional powder room.
A Culinary Destination
Dining at Langdon Hall is an event in itself. The Main Dining Room sets the stage with elegant interiors and views stretching over the gardens. Menus change with the seasons, drawing inspiration from the kitchen gardens and nearby farms. Plates arrive with artistry, each one showcasing ingredients in their finest form.
Before dinner, Wilks Lounge is the perfect stop. With its more casual setting, it offers pre-dinner cocktails crafted with precision, as well as lighter dishes for those who prefer a relaxed evening. The lounge strikes that sweet spot between comfort and sophistication, making it just as fitting for a celebratory toast as for a quiet solo glass of wine by the fire.
A Toast to the Cellar
Complimentary wine tastings at Langdon Hall add a special touch to the guest experience. Held in an intimate and inviting setting, these tastings offer a chance to explore selections from the property’s remarkable 1,400-bottle cellar, which includes vintages from acclaimed regions around the world. Each pour comes with insight into the wine’s origin and flavor profile, making it both an educational and indulgent experience. It’s an elegant way to spend an afternoon before dinner, discovering new favorites and appreciating the depth of Langdon Hall’s world-class wine program.
The Spa Experience
Langdon Hall’s spa has earned its reputation for excellence. The setting itself, peaceful and surrounded by greenery, sets the tone for relaxation. Treatments range from soothing nail services to restorative massages, along with body wraps and scrubs that leave you feeling renewed. The therapists tailor each treatment with care, creating an experience that feels personal rather than routine.
Exploring and Unwinding
Beyond its spa and dining rooms, Langdon Hall invites guests to slow down and explore. Strolls through the formal gardens reveal bursts of colour in spring and summer, while autumn paints the surrounding woodlands in fiery hues.
A Place That Fits Every Occasion
What makes Langdon Hall remarkable is its ability to shape itself around the occasion. A solo traveler can find tranquility in the spa and gardens, couples savour intimate dinners, families are well accommodated in larger suites, and friends can reconnect in the lounge or on the grounds. Few destinations manage this balance so effortlessly.
Discover Serenity Close to Home
As the evening drew to a close in our Stable Loft, the fireplace cast a golden glow across the room. The sense of peace was palpable, as if time had stretched to allow for a fuller kind of rest. That is the magic of Langdon Hall.
