The Langrish House Hotel is a picture postcard manor house set in romantic rolling countryside and steeped in history. Staff were attentive, friendly and polite. Breakfast was served promptly and delicious with a generous quantity of tea/coffee to start the day. The room offered to us was spacious and comfortable with en suite facilities and a very large comfortable bed. Our only comment here would be that the room was rather warm overnight. This did not detract from enjoying our day. Overall, ours was an enjoyable stay and I would recommend this hotel to those looking for a quiet stay in beautiful surroundings.

A beautifully set bed and breakfast in an old country house. We attended a party hosted at Langrish House and stayed the night afterwards. As a venue it was great, the party was held in an old tutor style hall with a balcony bar, there was a dance floor and plenty of space for up to 70 or so. The staff were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was tasty with a full English, toast and filter coffee on tap.
Overall the place was spotlessly clean, well kept and felt like value for money. Perhaps not where I'd choose for a romantic break as the bedrooms I saw were small and facilities were basic, but for a weekend break with your dog - great!

This place is lovely. Central tho it looks like it's out in the rural from the photo. Warm and welcoming service. A lovely room and extras like a supersonic coffee machine. I'd recommend it highly.

Customer service was great by the staff. Especially Robina. No request was too small. The house is stunning & clean. Breakfast was well cooked & the right size with lots of choice. Just a couple of suggestions:- A tea & coffee station in the drawing room & a small bar to enjoy a cold glass of beer/wine in the lovely gardens after a walk. Would stay there again. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Visited here for a rather average afternoon tea. The inside decor is slightly dated and we had to wait 10 minutes at reception before anyone acknowledged us. The scones were nice and warm however sandwiches definitely weren't the freshest.
