I really like this style of hotel. It is one of the best Boutique Hotels that I have stayed at, in recent times. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

It is a welcome break from the corporate style hotels that are the norm. these days.

When coupled with the history of this place, it is an honour to be able to stay here.

I would recommend it to anyone that wants to be pampered and treated like royalty, then this an absolute must.

I found that it provided me with a well needed break from the express life that we all seem to live these days.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

I was lured in by the offer of the four poster bed and the Jacuzzi in the room I guess also the royal links that were mentioned gave you some idea of history and the quotes on the hotels webpage of reviews they have had really do give you the impression that the hotel is really quite grand and luxurious. This I felt was really not the case.

I booked the hotel as a romatnic nigght away for my girlefriends birthday thinking wow she'll love this, what a dissapointment it was!

Upon arrival I must say we were greeted by the friendly reception staff and room issued over at the Langtry Lodge which is across the road, no problem I thought. We were issued with the Ascot room (again all sounds very regal). The Lodge is a seperate building that lacks any character or atmosphere as experienced in the main hotel. The Ascot room did have a smart flatscreen TV, mini bar, tea/coffee making facilities but for £115 for one night I would have at least expected some fruit or drinking water in the room! The room itself had the four poster bed which actually turned out to be 2 beds on top of each other with some wood badly screwed into the bottom - Alarm bells started to ring at this point. There was what looked like a very large red wine stain all over the drab carpet and the bed linen has seen better days. Moving into the bathroom the Jacuzzi as advertised was no more than a spa bath, not really what I had in mind. the Cheap shower head had no pressure at all and water trickled out. Overall coniditon was really used and in direneed of updating.

Breakfast - Food was good, served quickly and hot. No sweetners - must be the only hotel in the world not to have canderal or access to Tesco. Got told that we couldn't sit next to the window as it would mean having to lay another table so we ended up next to the kitchen door with everyone coming in and out.

On checking out I informed reception that I was dissapointed with the dirty room and items missing from the mini bar and all that came was a shrug of the shoulders.

I will not be returning and will adivse that you have been warned!

My work took me last week to a conference in Bournemouth, I searched out Yahoo for a place to stay and was given a few choices. I read a review on a portal about the Langtry Manor and decided to take the chance and book four nights via their website.

My arrival at the Langtry Manor was a surprise as I had expected all pomp and circumstance. Instead I was greeted personally by the staff in a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

I had one of the more smaller rooms that came complete with a Jacuzzi and that I can only describe as a luxury bed. Though I only ate breakfast at the hotel and one dinner I can say the food and service was first rate - look out for their fillet steak with a bottle of Bordeaux followed by a passion fruit creme caramel...

My only complaint with the Langtry would be that there is no night porter service, but was told eventually it is only a phone call away if I needed it.

The Langtry Manor suited me fine, they had WiFi allowing me to work from my room with my laptop, and it was a few minutes walk to the beach which really made an otherwise dull work trip a pleasure.

Let me preface this by saying that I normally stay at The Marriott but where I arrived without a reservation and because of a large Conference in town it was 100% full along with most others in the Centre.

I asked a friend to call around and was eventually offered a Double at a Single rate of £99 B&B at The Langtry. I took a chance because I had heard good things.

I arrived about 6 pm and completed the reservation and was handed my key and ONLY then told that I was NOT in the main building but in the Lodge which was about 100 yards away. Not really far but there was later a torrential rain storm just before I went to eat. No umbrellas !! In addition I was given 2 keys, one for the front door another for my room.....it felt somewhat insecure as anyone could have the front door key kept from a previous stay.

The double bed was very small, smaller than a Queen size and the bedding was strange as there was no top sheet (certainly no duvet) but a blanket and a bedspread.

I dined at the hotel and the food was typical hotel fayre.....expensive £32 for 2 courses.

For me the worst part was at Breakfast.....when I asked for Sweeteners I was told that they did not have but "Chef would make a note of this" As a diabetic I do not use sugar and I cannot think of any other hotel I have stayed at where an alternative was not avaiable.

I mentioned this at the front desk and the Male Clerk shrugged and said "We have heard this before". I know its only a small thing but for a Hotel that boasts of its Cuisine I would have expected them to have had Sweeteners for my coffee.

Would I return.....definitely NOT.
