About Langdon Court

Nothing captures the soothing beauty of Devon like Langdon Court. Our gardens invite lazy days, our manor house celebrates the art of hospitality whilst on our doorstep there is an abundance to explore. The endless countryside, a spectacular coastline, ancient market towns filled with character and a vibrant culinary scene are all within easy reach.

A COUNTRYSIDE ESCAPE

There is nothing quite like having a country house hotel to yourself, it’s about enjoying life’s luxuries without the crowds. Days are designed around you whilst Langdon’s relaxed welcoming vibe sets the perfect tone. You can chill out in the gardens, head to the nearby beach for a spot of rock pooling in our vintage Mini Moke or take a walk through some of the most stunning countryside paths you will ever experience. We can arrange horse riding, antiquing, clay pigeon shooting and so much more.

Inside the house enjoy our film room with adjoining snack room for popcorn and treats on tap, a cosseting library, the light filled Palm Court and spacious Morning and Drawing Rooms.

OUR CORNER OF DEVON

Whether staying for one night or much longer, we are perfectly positioned to discover South Devon. There are sandy beaches for surfing, paddle-boarding and windsurfing or perhaps you prefer to sail further along this coastline, known as the English Riviera, or go deep-sea fishing nearby at Salcombe. On land, there is the famed Dartmoor National Park plus gorgeous gardens such as  Overbeck’s Garden at Sharpitor. You’ll also find houses rich in history including Agatha Christie’s holiday home Greenway and the landmark Burgh Island.

Salcombe is a must visit, this iconic seaside town is picturesque with much to discover. Like so much of Devon this is foodie heaven with its traditional seafood shacks (crab being top of the menu) endless flavours of ice cream at Salcombe Dairy and for the gin lover a truly exceptional distillery. Visitors can take the old-fashioned ferry from Salcombe to Kingsbridge, this culinary haven is also one of the great antiquing market towns, along with Ashburton, in the area. If you don’t want to go far to experience a taste of Devon then The Mussel Inn is just minutes away in the South Hams village of Down Thomas. A traditional feel mixes with a gastro-pub menu that is a local staple.

FOR THE GOLFER

There are wonderfully unique courses such as the coastal Thurlestone Golf Club with its mix of links and cliff-top terrain affording breath-taking views of majestic rocky seascapes. St Mellion Golf Club is an impressive Cornish golf course which incorporates the incredible landscapes with Cornish hospitality.

A FUTURE LEGACY

Whether in the original coat of arms or within the grounds, the pear has been a symbol of Langdon Court for centuries. Owners Donna and Robert’s introduction of a legacy orchard is a regenerative replanting project that pays tribute to the pear tree.

For every exclusive stay, wedding or bespoke event, a commemorative pear tree is planted around the estate, including the endangered Plymouth Pear Tree along with a host of varieties chosen for their wildlife support and culinary inspiration.
