Langdon Court Restaurant in South Hams

It appears that they do not pay their contractors. Be very, very careful if they buy any goods or services from you on credit.

CLOSED. DO NOT BOOK here on any website. Reportedly went into administration pre lock down, yet we were still able to book on Agoda on 24 July for a stay on 27 July. Turned up to an empty, locked up hotel - were quite displeased!

Amazing rooms and location. Very happy with the breakfast and service.

Now this place looks lovely and I'm sure the food is nice BUT....... DO NOT purchase any deals via sites such as wowcher for this place, They WILL NOT honour it! The most shameful behaviour I have ever seen from a venue turning away deals that they themselves have advertised! Tried to book for mothers day and the wowcher does not exclude any Sunday booking, yet the management have decided that they want to make more money and turn me away and make me come on another Sunday, hard when I'm only down for that weekend and live 300 miles away. Gave this place all the chance to change their stance on this and they wouldn't, DONT TOUCH

Both dinners were well cooked and tasty, one was served in the dining room whilst the following night was served in the bar. Good cheerful service with some "interesting" fellow guests dealt with very professionally.

I booked a family meal for 12 to celebrate my birthday. From the outset Gemma and the team did everything they could to make the arrangements easy. On the day we were looked after from the moment we stepped through the door. We had a delicious 3 course meal, chosen in advance from several options. Dietary swaps which weren’t on the original menu were provided fuss free for 2 guests with allergies. My desert came decorated with a birthday message written in chocolate – a lovely surprise! My family provided balloons for the table and a cake which they served with candles and sang happy birthday. The food and ambiance made for a perfect birthday celebration. So good that we booked to come back again for another family event!

We had a lovely time it was my husband's 80th birthday room was lovely very clean and food fantastic will vist again

I will elaborate in full if they do not settle my pre Christmas invoice! Proced with caution and if you are providing a service make sure they pay up front.

My wife and I stayed from January 5-9 2020 the worst hotel 4 star should read negative 4 star if you use AA star rating dont in fact I wouldnt use there hotel services period. We were the only guests during our stay the bedroom had so much moulds hazardous to your health, the toilet seat was falling off the telephone didnt work so when breakfast was brought to our room it was stone cold like it was made the night before as the phone didnt work I had to go downstairs in my PJ's to tell them to fix the problem, in an emergency who would you call the staff all go home at night. The extensive menu didnt exist.I have reported this hotel to Plymouth public health as the moulds in the bedroom is a real health concern, I have photos if requested. My suggestion is give this hotel a miss

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.

I had a meal with my wife and i for Christmas eve 2019 we booked over the phone and were sent a menu after much chasing, as to whether they would be serving non residents, eventually we were sent a menu and were asked to choose and pay in full, we thought this will be good, now being honest, the food was not bad, mussels in a thai broth very nice, beef wellington ok but lacked vegetables just a couple of boiled/roasted potatoes, and a stick of broccoli with a pot of gravy sweet was chocolate cake??? the service was poor waited at the bar for someone to serve, and waited , and waited, eventually shown to our table all evening there was just two other couples??? the waiter was i feel inexperienced, had to ask for a bowl to put the mussel shells in and we had to ask for bread rolls?? did not bother to ask for extra drinks as he was nowhere to be seen, there was no atmosphere whatsoever very poor the food was ok very well cooked but the place was flat as a pancake the only music was the radio on the background, they could have done so much better but it seemed no one cared?? shame a good venue with so much potential would i return, 1 ) for the food yes but a least add tea/ coffee to the price, 2)atmosphere BIG FAT ZERO so much potential wasted for a business

Made to feel extremely welcome by very efficient and friendly staff.

First class service with a smile 😊 Our amazing WI ( Down Thomas and Heybrook Bay ) Held our Xmas lunch here . Wonderful service, ambiance and excellent quality food and coffee !!! We all had a super time especially after the prosecco,,,,

My entire birthday dinner was ruined due to the failure of the staff not recording my initial reservation at all! And I only found this out when I rang the day before to change my reservation time! They also failed to inform me the restaurant I had booked in was actually going to be closed during lunch time on the day!!! So I show up on my birthday only flush it down the drain and to be seated by the bar. The A la carte menu I was looking forward to with my husband was ruined by having to sit next to the bar and choose our meal from the bar menu. Might as well have gone to Wetherspoons. It was only the food that did not disappoint.

Beautiful place steeped in history. Even tho the weather wasn't good you could still see the beauty in the place

A beautiful hotel with fantastic gardens for walking the dog 🐶. Staff very pleasant and attentive.

The food was very good, the room was of a reasonable standard but very draughty.

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.

Three day spent at the hotel, it was excellent . The food was also excellent. The staff very helpful. The room very cosy and clean. Will go back again

Beautiful setting for a wedding. Staff were fantastic.

Fantastic hotel, stayed here for business travel and was perfect for my local meetings.

Lovely hotel in beautiful setting. The decor is a little tired in places, but the staff were friendly. Didn't eat here so can't comment on the food.

Being run under administration so basic management and food

Picked this place as I used to work somewhere similar and I thought it would feel homely. The site seems nice enough and has a really nice bar, but for £67 the room I had simply wasn't good enough. It was a small room with some period features, an old fireplace and a bay window which were both covered in cobwebs and dirty. Had a  small double bed which had hairs in it, a battered wardrobe, no iron and the light switch annoying upside down, with off being the usual on position etc. Was kept up by the room next door's documentary on post-war european architecture, as the walls are so thin. Also by the 1970's drape/curtain thing that didn't block the light from outside. The biggest issue I had however was with the bathroom. It was small but poorly laid out, with the toilet in a small space between the shower and a wall. I have somewhat broad shoulders (44" chest) and couldn't get close enough to the toilet to pee standing up, so had to sit down and lean forwards. What's more the toilet roll holder is on the other side of the room, and I could barely use it as my legs were so close together and no room to reach around. The shower was very hot and powerful, 👍. But was grimey and the holder didn't keep the shower head in place, so when I wanted to give the shower a minute to warm up it shot up and soaked myself and the bathroom floor in cold water, 👎. The bathroom floor was also grim with cracked tiles and grout missing. Really dissapointed

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.

+ restauration, good chef Cadre sympa - très très... Bruyant, aucune isolation phonique, quasi nuit blanche Mauvaise literie en fonction des chambres

Great food but great noise... Rooms really noisy.

Great location and great service

מקום מדהים. הורדתי נקודה כי החדרים לא מתאימים למשפחות, למרות הפרסום - לא ניתן לישון על הספה הנפתחת. נאלצנו לקחת 2 חדרים .

Will you clarify deposits for weddings are held separately as the owners are bankrupt ?

Very friendly staff, got a smaller room with a bath tub only. Hotel staff swapped the room with a bigger room which had shower. Breakfast is super tasty

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

8/1 chance it could be you, love AJ

Concerned as this is being marketing as a timeshare fractional what will happen to our beautiful restaurant and wedding venue

Stunning house with beautiful views. Very friendly and helpful staff and delicious food.

A beautiful wedding location and we enjoyed attending the wedding there a lot. The rooms were really nicely decorated and felt luxurious.

Always love the relaxed atmosphere snd gorgeous surroundings.. such a beautiful hotel and stunning location... very friendly service and lush food.

The cakes were dry. No pinchers to take sugar. No crimpers to stop table cloth blowing on to cutlery etc.

Overpriced, rude staff, not friendly or welcoming.

Not overly imprest with the venue, staff were ok, rooms a little overpriced for a wedding venue that makes you buy the place. Breakfast was like being in a travelodge self service in a 4 star place, drinks way over priced. Main meal was I think lacking in body, starter and main, then a 20min wait for dessert. Hog roast was out front, but the apple sauce was through the main entrance, Passed disco and bar and before reception. Desserts and snack were out there also. I have been to many weddings, as guests and photographer, I would not be rushing back.

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

Went for Sunday afternoon Tea to celebrate a birthday and Fathers Day. To say we were disappointed with the tea is an understatment. The variety on offer was poor, the afternoon tea was luke warm and the crockery used to serve was chipped and cracked. After initially arriving it was about 10-15 minutes before anyone attended to us and with hindsight I now wish that we just got up and left before the staff attended to us. It spoilt what was supposed to be a nice afternoon.

Absolutely beautiful. Very friendly helpful staff

We waited an hour and 15 minutes for our first course. The amuse touch - lobster bisque was served to me after I said I was a vegetarian. We had to go into the kitchen to find where our main courses were and also hunt out a wine waiter to order more wine. My starter could have been put on a desert spoon - it was a rip off. Other food no more generous. We came home and had some supper left in the fridge from the night before. There were only nine people in the chilly restaurant so I can see no reason why the service was so awful. It was a birthday celebration - fortunately we are old friends and drinking on an empty stomach made us merry - but for £45 a head we felt very sore. That was without pudding or coffee.... we had to get to bed at some point.

Great hotel set in lovely countryside just south of Plymouth. Very welcoming attentive staff, incredible food with a wide vegetarian selection if you ask for the veggie menu. Lovely 500 year old building which claims among previous well known guests was King Henry VIII. Excellent coastal walks nearby. Highly recommend.

My partner and I stayed at this hotel as part of a groupon voucher from a Christmas present to see a concert in Plymouth pavilion, As a young couple it is easy to feel uncomfortable in such a high class establishment; however the staff were thoroughly professional, exceptionally friendly and always had a smile on their faces. Though the food is pricey, the breakfast *including the service* was entirely worth it. Extremely clean rooms with all amenities and for once, as my partner pointed out, finally a hotel that gives you a sufficient amount of milk and sugar with the room's complimentary tea! Despite the weather, the views were stunning and being able to come back late and watch the stars over the beautiful hillside was the cherry on the cake for this small getaway. Though this hotel was born to suit weddings and other ceremonies; a small nights getaway here was equally amazing. Getting in and out of Plymouth centre isn't a massive issue even if you're without a car as long as you have 10 quid per taxi and are happy to ask the reception to call a cab for you (signal is awful but it is the countryside so you can't have it all) and it's actually only 20 minutes away. Overall, a serene, peaceful, professional hotel with exceptional personnel. Would recommend to anyone; thanks again!

The hotel itself and the grounds are lovely and well kept. Staff were always really friendly and willing to help. We had breakfast included, there was a reasonable choice of usual breakfast options and cooked to a good standard. There were a couple of issues which have caused me to only give three stars. Firstly the mattress in our room was really uncomfortable, there were visible bumps and dents. It must have been older than the hotel. Secondly the shower never really got hot, just sat a tepid luke warm temperature, which was a big disappointment for me. Overall though it was a pleasant stay.

Beautiful enchanted place to get lost for a while

The food was very good, the staff very helpful and friendly, all working hard. Lovely location and a beautiful old building, although in need of a bit of an upgrade in some areas.

Beautiful old place. Very dog friendly.

Great service and an amazing hotel

Langdon Court is a seriously old Manor House but is delightfully warm and welcoming. My husband and I were upgraded to a splendidly large room with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills. The seven course tasting menu for the Burns supper was superb and was served in a romantically, candlelit dining room with a roaring fire in a large fireplace. It was very atmospheric and thoroughly enjoyable. The following morning we enjoyed a stroll around the grounds and visited Wembury Point and Beach just minutes away. Langdon Court provides the perfect stay for exploring this area of beauty, now under the auspices of The National Trust. I can highly recommend.

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 venue. Attended a wedding and it all went lovely and smoothly. Staff were really nice. Price of rooms is extremely expensive which feels a little sneaky. Our room had dead bugs in the corners of all window seals for the price we paid I was really disappointed. However, we reported this to reception and they were really apologetic and got the room cleaned again which solved it. Overall a really beautiful place and good service.

Enjoyed high tea here after a trek along the south west coastal path.

Wonderful party night, lovely setting with fabulous rooms

Over priced but a great location

A stunning historic house, lovely atmosphere, staff very friendly and helpful. Dog and children friendly, so it was truly a family experience for us! We had a good large room, with lovely views, well appointed bathroom! Dinner was really delicious too! Beautifully presented! Support this hotel so they can keep investing in the upkeep of the building which must be a huge challenge!We will return!

Staying in the hotel, we ate in the bar and restaurant on different nights and are now really sad we don’t live closer! The food was simply delicious. Perfect medium-rare steak, succulent burger and impressive high tea! Friendly and happy staff, with a lovely atmosphere too. As dog owners it made life easier that well behaved dogs are allowed on the terrace and in the bar area, so after a walk to Wembury Cove you have a place to pause and enjoy a cold drink and tasty meal.

Lovely hotel in a great surrounding.

My husband and I stayed at Langdon court recently with our greyhound. Such a lovely place and a bonus that dogs are allowed. Staff where friendly and helpful and food was spot On. Room was huge and really clean too. Will definitely go again such nice views and grounds.

This place is fantastic and full of history. I had my wedding reception here in 2002 and have been returning for meals ever since. The food is fantastic and is very reasonable. A lovely place to relax outside on a nice summer's day. You can stay over as well

Lovely setting, nice hotel and staff but gluten-free meal means just take away the breadcrumb covered potatoes. Not great in 2018.

We have been eating at the Langdon Court for many years whilst staying in Wembury and have always thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and food. So it seem very appropriate to book it for a celebratory family lunch, 15 of us. With beautiful weather they seated us outside. It was just perfect. The staff could not have been more considerate and accommodating. The food was up to its usual high standard and very well presented. Thank you James especially for taking great care of our noisy family.

Super schöne Location. Das Personal war freundlich, hilfsbereit und imner bereit einen Wunsch zu ermöglichen. Wir haben eine tolle Hochzeit erlebt, perfekt geplant von dem Brautpaar und Emma. Ich empfehle diesen ort sehe sehr gerne.

Great place - romance at its best! Love it

Went for Christmas lunch. When I arrived the barman was laying tables as well as working the bar and ultimately serving the food. Given how long it took one might assume he was cooking it too. The food was but the wait interminable.

Very nice venue .Njce rooms.Attractive setting.

Great place to go for a relaxing getaway

Just had the most amazing food, hats off to the chef, the staff are so welcoming, the place is so beautiful. Definitely be back, and recommend this place.

already submitted under the main hotel reviews, we love it here and the food is superlative, treat yourselves!

Beautiful location and exquisite rooms

Great for weddings, couldn't imagine a better service. Also great for lunch and dinner that is served most days. Highly recommended.

We have eaten here on a few occasions and have had a consistently warm and friendly reception from Will who has always made us feel especially welcome. The restaurant has the atmosphere of a country manor and is normally ideal for a quiet meal for two. There was a large wedding party present on our most recent visit so it might be worth checking for this, although they did still find us a quiet corner. My steak was perfectly cooked, tasty and a generous portion but i have particularly happy memories of their tasting menu. Check if you are going to order this. I suspect it probably wouldn't have been available on our last visit due to the large party. I am no wine expert but Will has been particularly helpful with our choice and showed a degree of flexibility over availability by the glass. If you are having the tasting menu then i recommend taking the wine flight too - or as in our case sharing it!

Lovely hotel. Good service and a really nice surrounding.

Attened Langdon court for a professional meeting, the grounds are lovely and the staff very friendly and professional woyld highly recommend.

Nice and quiet place to stay. Very cosy and welcoming

Attended a function here. The staff were very accommodating and the food served was excellent. A very well kept historic house to spend quality time

Cracking place - feels like a home from home. Staff are spot on. This was my second visit and will definitely stay again.

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.

Lovely evening wedding reception, great disco, drinks very pricy, £10 for a coke and archers and lemonade

Lovely place well looked after and great venue for an event!

A fine English country manor set within a splendid Devon location with pretty much unspoilt views across hills and open grasslands, which sadly was let down by a poor restaurant experience coupled.

Went here for a wedding excellent

A group of us thought we would treat ourselves to the High Tea as advertised on the website, it was so disappointing nothing like what was advertised. Contacted the hotel by email and by post expressing our dissatisfaction but only reply was to my email which stated it had 'been forwarded to management'. We will not be going to the Langdon Court again which is a shame as it is in such a wonderful location. Expected better treatment and food from what is advertised as a fine dining hotel.

We had our wedding here last Friday. From the moment we started liaising with the staff we were in good hands. The grounds, the house, the rooms and general ambience were just what we were looking for. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The food was first rate. Emma, Amie,

We attended a wedding here over the weekend, lovely grounds and gardens with a historic and grand feel to the place. Great food and great service. I would love a wedding here!

We enjoyed every bit of our stay, staff and food was excellent and we could not fault anything during our stay and will be returning

Nice atmosphere and brilliant food and staff/service

I booked my wedding here, as the location was gorgeous. I had to cancel not long after booking due to being made redundant. There was not an ounce of common decency in giving me a refund. They took £1000 of my money and rebooked the date days later. I saved long and hard to pay that deposit and if the date hadn't been rebooked I might have understood, but as it was rebooked you were still making money. I visited again for a friends wedding, and was disgusted that they paid £15 a head for chips in a cone. Total rip off.

Great staff. Lovely building. Quite far from amenities (which was why we picked it, but could be an issue unless you have your own transport). No fridge in room, not too much of a problem, but seems unusual these days. Good shower, clean room, comfy bed. Very expensive bar and restaurant.

Wonderful menu - excellent wine list and friendly service. What more could I ask for!! We had a delicious meal in the restaurant.

Loverly grounds and staff with amazing rooms and views.

We went here for a wedding in May and it was lovely. The location is stunning and the interior of the hotel is done to a very high standard. The staff were friendly and the food was very tasty.

Excelente comida, excelente servicio y un personal amable. ¿Qué más se puede pedir? Volveremos.

Stunning wedding venue. Wonderful location. But no mobile signal for miles around!

Beautiful setting with friendly staff and very nice rooms. Restaurant was very good except the wine list was not up to the quality of the rest of the stay.

A beautiful period hotel in stunning surroundings, ruined by the modern interiors.

Cenamos aquí cuando una noche antes de comenzar nuestra última etapa de la SWCP. La comida y el servicio eran de primera calidad, especialmente toda mi solla. Sí, el restaurante es muy tranquilo, pero a veces no es una mala cosa!

Food is good but portions can be small. Price for Sunday roast is reasonable at £12.95 for 2 courses or £15.95 for 3. Also depending on time of the year, rooms can be cold even with a fire going.
