Langley Castle Hotel

Langley Castle Hotel

8/10 Good
"We were very disappointed that our room was not actually in the castle - but 100yds away in an outbuilding. Infact only 9 of the rooms are actually in the castle. This was not clear at booking. The room was reasonably clean- but we had no Tv remote and the bathroom was looking pretty tired- needed redecorating. Evening meal was very nice and a tour of the castle itself was amazing."
