Historic Property, ambiance was low in public areas , I.e no background music in the bar. Reception Team were wonderful!! Room upon arrival was Cold, radiators would not come on, so had to result in using an Electric Fan Heater to get some heat into the room. Not a touch on the Sister Hotel… Derby Manor.

We arrived at noon, nobody on reception until 2pm. Friendly check in staff. Room 15, at the top of the house was tired. Broken loose tiles in the bathroom and cobwebs around the main light. Bed pillows a little lumpy. Kettle, hot chocolate, coffee and decaf fee coffee sachets and a selection of teas and biscuits.

Beautiful!
A beautiful hotel inside and outside. We were fortunate to have the Kings Room which was huge and stunning. The breakfast was across the street at the sister hotel which was beautiful too. An excellent breakfast with delightful staff. Had a wonderful stay.

A historical adventure
I was in the Kings room which was huge, nice bathroom with TV, shower and Jacuzzi bath however there were a lot of black hairs in the bath so had to clean it before use. The four poster bed was huge and comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities and bottled water. Would benefit from a small fridge to keep drinks cool and fresh milk. Nice little area telling the history of the house and there were some pleasant rest areas in the lounge and bar. Would stay again.

Before you book check how comfortable the bed is!!
We were met with a smile. Hotel was lovely. Our room was ok but the bathroom was so tiny. If you were above average size you would struggle. Left the next day stating bed was so hard we both kept waking up in the night and ended up with bad backs. We stayed in the Jeanne Marie Room 14. Our stay was spoilt because of this. Told them to get a new bed!! Not a pleasant experience unfortunately.

Charming Hotel with History
Our stay was very good. Receptionist was very welcoming and helped us with our bags as the hotel does not have a lift. In the morning we went for Breakfast at sister hotel across the road. Lovely hotel also and freshly cooked breakfast. Young man helped us with our bags when it was time to leave. We would love to return sometime.

Excellent, thank you!!!
What a wonderful stay! We booked this for our first anniversary and it was beautiful. Patricia and Steve I think it was? Both hosted us and they were just lovely. 5*!! Only complaint is that it was so soooo hot in there. No idea why, but we couldn’t sleep under the duvet at night and with the windows open it was noisy from the cars outside. Other than this it was fab!

The hotel is in a great location just a few minutes walk from the Overcliff and on a quiet road. I was inspired by the story behind the building, which is that it was given as a gift to King Edward VII to his mistress, Lillie Langtry. The decor is in keeping with the age and style of the property but I felt that some of the furnishings and the carpets, in particular, could benefit from being changed. I stayed in the Oscar Wilde double room, which has a pleasant outlook over the garden. The bed was comfortable and I had everything I needed for a one night stay but due to the inevitable lack of sound proofing in such an old building, I could hear the TV blaring in the room next to mine and the entirety of my neighbours conversation, which late at night was not welcomed!

Our room is very basic . Small room with a small double bed( I guess it is a 4 ft 6 bed. They managed to squeeze in a tiny shower in the room, which is good , but you can hardly turn around in it and the shower wasn’t the best to say the least Having said that, everything you need was there. For one night stay it was ok, but I would prefer to stay elsewhere if wish to stay a few nights or more Our room is very basic . Small room with a small double bed( I guess it is a 4 ft 6 bed.

Uncomfortable Stay
We were disappointed that we had an attic room & up 3 flights of stairs & it was small. Found it claustrophobic. (Extremely uncomfortable, though weather at that the time was extreme). Fan supplied, but no fridge for access to cold water. Shower useless, as attic room; could not stand up to shower & am 70 years old. WC area cramped. Gentleman on reception was excellent. (Zalt - apologies if spelt wrongly). We thank him for his help & courtesy. Breakfast at the sister hotel (Derby Manor Hotel) was excellent, as were the staff. Left keys on reception desk on leaving, as no-one in attendance.

Very welcoming staff a d nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in the Jersey Lily room which was very charming and roomy. It was very clean and had a bath with a rain shower. Breakfast next door at their sister hotel the Derby Manor was delicious. I cannot recommend the Langtry Manor enough

Magnificent but a bit grubby
I find it hard to review Langtry Manor .I was in the King's Suite. The room is, simply, amazing. I was blown away when I first went in. It was great to have such a huge room. I loved having a seating area in front of the TV and so much room to move around in. As time passed I noticed more issues with the room. The curtains do not cover the windows. So early morning light wakes you up. Most importantly, there is a strange smell in the room. I eventually worked out that it was a real need for a full and deep clean The room really needs a really in depth clean and redecoration. The size is great; the separate seating area for the TV is great and they almost made up for the slight grubbiness of the room.

I liked the decor and peace and quiet. I didnt like that there was no assistance from staff with luggage - the stairs are narrow and my room was on the 2nd floor - luckily I was there only 2 nights so I didnt have much luggage or it would have been a struggle. Overall, a lovely small property that was clean and offered very good amenities. I’d stay there again.
