I cannot thank our hosts enough for ensuring our stay at The Langbury was as enjoyable as possible. I defy anyone to find anything that is not provided in this accommodation. The fixtures and fittings are very good quality with lots of little touches that others wouldnt even think of. If you want a relaxing break I would highly recommend The LangbuRead morery. Thanks to Paula and Nigel for a fantastic break, will see you again in the near future. Tony & Jane. Hide
