Langley Castle Hotel

Langley Castle Hotel

8/10 Good
"We stayed at Langley Castle Wednesday and Thursday. The castle itself is stunning, towering stone walls, peaceful grounds and interiors that balance medieval character with modern comfort. The staff were exceptional throughout our visit, friendly, attentive and genuinely welcoming. Check in was smooth and the breakfast and the evening meal was very good. I booked the castle view room with the roof terrace, it was very quiet, apart from the visiting Peacocks and Peahens, and is accessed from the room via double glazed doors; there is also an air conditioner in the room which was a godsend! The bathroom unfortunately is very dated and needs some money spending on it to bring into the 21st century, (the shower was awesome though) some new furniture would be a good addition as well, unfortunately the room was very dusty and needed a good clean. The grounds are peaceful and perfect for a quiet walk. The castle is full of history to explore or as we did have a relaxing escape. Overall we had a lovely stay and would happily return. Langley Castle is a unique peaceful and interesting venue."
