Langdon Court

If your headed to Plymouth and want to feel and be feted like country gentry then this is the place. Of the 3 weeks we spent touring England Langdon Court tied for our most memorable and enchanting. Yes, it is a lovely well preserved antique, so big city amenities are not the focus. However the service and staff are wonderful. The rooms, bath and beds most comfortable. The breakfast choices are suitable to a wide range of tastes whether you are from abroad or prefer British fare. Only the evening menu was not to our taste, but they do have an excellent wine list and charming elegant bar. If you are looking for perfect romance or a quite weekend retreat I highly recommend heading for Langdon Court in Down Thomas, and a day of shopping in Plymouth.

We love staying here. The staff make you so welcome and the bedrooms we have stayed in this time and last year were lovely. Always a good evening meal. Many thanks to Sonia, Bradley and the rest of the staff for making our short break so nice.

It's beautiful! The scent of lillies filled the air as we moved through the elegant hallways admiring the intricate stained glass windows. The bedroom suite was very spacious and attractive with a four poster bed as the main feature.

A fabulous old country house in beautiful tranquil surroundings. Stayed 2 nights and accommodation, food and staff were excellent

Beautiful place, but not a very good experience. Booked online, no confirmation. Emailed again and said we wanted the Christmas menu. Still no response. Eventually had to call as wasn't sure if they were booked up being December. Apart from a table of 4 having afternoon tea, we were the only other guests, not in the dining room but seated in the bar. Sparse Christmas decorations, zero Christmas atmosphere. Waited 30 mins for starter. No condiments with Christmas dinner had to ask for cranberry sauce, could have done with more gravy as well. Asked for some festive music as it was quiet as the grave, didn't expect Slade, but nothing! Just a bit of a miserable experience and afraid we won't be back!

Beautiful hotel and very friendly staff. Cleanliness on the rooms must improve immediately.

Spent the evening here for a wedding. Sadly didnt stay the night but the rooms looked great. BBQ tasted fantastic and the meat and burgers were not skimpy but as you would expect them to be.

Went for candle making for my friend’s birthday, felt like I had gatecrashed someone’s party! Beautiful room but no where to sit, did the candle making which took 5 minutes and then stood around. Had two drinks, candle costs £35 to make with the vessel. Clearly there was a large party that’s had booked the full venue, Botox sessions, iv drips and lip fillers were offered?! Everything was cleared away and our candles still weren’t dry. I thought there was a bar but no, we paid, literally left as it was being packed up and had to find something to do for a hour before picking up our candles whilst guest stayed and drank wine! Would not recommend, made to feel very uncomfortable.

I went to a wedding here at the weekend. They had hired out the whole venue for the day and what a beautiful setting it was. The ceremony was outside with fantastic views of the grounds and countryside. The food at the reception was delicious! The wedding party was 65... I'm not sure how many wedding guests the venue caters for but in the room we were in- the wedding breakfast would have felt squashed with anymore guests. As it is summer lots of people congregated outside for the reception so hehe size of the room didn't really notice in the evening with the additional guests. We stayed overnight in a standard double room. It was decorated very nicely though the bedroom it's self was slightly squashed...we had a separate dressing area and bathroom. Lovely shampoo products etc and high quality tea/coffee in the room. The bed was very comfy too and we had a view of the entrance driveway to the hotel. Continental and cooked breakfast very nice but feel the toast could be a bit more well done! We were told it was a champagne breakfast but were disappointed when this wasn't the case. This is a beautiful venue to hold a wedding and if anyone else I knew were getting married here I wouldn't hesitate to book a room for the night again either.

This is a hotel restaurant, in a beautiful 17th century manor house. As well as the a la carte menu, there is a bar brasserie menu, which can be had in the restaurant if you wish. They occasionally do offers through newspapers. The brasserie menu had starters (about £6) of ham terrine with piccalilli and salad; spring vegetable salad with quails eggs; and warm crispy duck salad with saute potatoes and spiced plum sauce. Mains (around a tenner) included chicken breast with pea risotto; beer battered day boat fish and a mini bucket of chips (see picture); Buck rarebit on ciabatta bread with bacon and poached egg. Puds (£4-5) ran to amaretto and treacle tart with Devon clotted cream, or lemon tart with rasberry sorbet. A la carte - which we didn't have - was more upmarket still, with suckling lamb, crab, scallops, cassoulet with confit duck legs, etc etc. But the real joy of the place was that these dishes were cooked to expert perfection. This was some of the best 'hotel restaurant' food I've had in years. Shame the service was lamentable.

Although this is an amazing building, set in a beautiful area, the staff and owners leave a lot to be desired. However, if you are willing to put aside their rudeness, it is well worth a visit. The gardens are lovely and very relaxing. Not too far to come for a night but definitely away from the hustle and bustle of Plymouth!
