Escape for pampering and R&R

This is a lovely spot 1 hour from Toronto. The restaurant review was the appeal and it didn't disappoint. Fantastic food and service. The pool and grounds are beautiful. The rooms are lovely but my ONLY disappointment was the shower had no power. We stayed in the Cloister building and I recommend them, but beware if you like a power... more

An oasis of tranquility

My wife and I recently returned from a one night stay at Langdon Hall as a birthday treat. What a treat!
Langdon Hall is a converted country estate on a 30 acre forested property that completely isolates it from its surroundings. The long winding laneway through the woods effectively builds anticipation after leaving the main road. The main inn is... more

High tea is highly recommended

I had high tea on A Sunday with my sister in law and it was good. The wait though to book a reservation for it is about three weeks though as it's popular. The food was excellent. The only thing is that the waitress never came to offer more water for the tea and the original hot water that came... more

Lunch and spa afternoon

Three colleagues joined me for lunch and an afternoon of 4 spa treatments. Lunch was beautifully presented and impeccably served under the shade of trees on the terrace. The spa itself is a little tired - something that will rectified shortly with the construction of a new building. The spa staff were excellent as were the treatments. A great place... more

Perfection

From the beautiful grounds to the amazing buildings - this was the perfect getaway!
Our room was luxurious with a real wood burning fireplace and feather beds and pillows to sink into. All the finishings are updated and classic and they really made you feel at home with real plants!
There is a garden where they grow their own food... more

An oasis in an otherwise busy world

This was our first stay at Langdon hall but it certainly will not be our last. We spent one night here to celebrate our August anniversary - we're hoping it will become an annual visit. Our experience surpassed any expectations! Our room was even nicer than shown in pictures, the grounds are lovely, our dining experience perfect from the "amuse... more

Peace and Tranquility just an hour from Toronto

From the moment you arrive on the fabulous property to the moment you leave you will be treated like royalty. It is located in the serene countryside with wonderful gardens, trails and amenities. The accommodations are serene and luxurious. The restaurants are terrific. The spa is great. The people are fantastic. We spent the days exploring Toronto and the local... more

Relaxing escape, worth the splurge

My husband I just returned from a relaxing weekend at Langdon Hall, my parents generously babysitting our two kids :) This was our second visit, our first was in Dec 2012. While Langdon Hall is a wonderful escape in the winter (cozy, comforting, wood burning fireplaces), it is more wonderful in the summer time. We lucked out with gorgeous weather... more

Perfect Getaway

The grounds and main house are so charming. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is amazing, with an impressive selection of wine and cocktails. Cloister room was very nice, clean and spacious. Pool area is very nice and relaxing. Spa was very nice with great service. Overall pricey but worth the splurge.

Where to begin..

First off the location of the outdoor dining area is beautiful. Set under a lovely old tree with the view of the gardens.For a 5 star property I found the restaurant service to be very poor. They could take some lessons from other fine establishments like Niagara winery region. It won't take much to take this place up a notch to be deserving of its ratings.The presentation of the food is very... more

An idyllic Christmas

Simply the perfect location for a Christmas getaway. The roaring fires in the Hall and the rooms act as the perfect counterbalance to the crisp snowscape outside. The cuisine is superb and the staff are attentive without being cloying.

Truly Fine Dining

What a wonderful way to mark our 27th wedding anniversary . We had the tasting menu with venison as we did not want the pigeon ( bad experience with pigeon when in Amsterdam). We recommend the wine pairings as it truly did enhance the meal. The menu was well balanced and we really did enjoy the lobster, scallop and venison. Dishes were arranged beautifully and we enjoyed the use of the local... more

Elegant Sunday Brunch

We visited Langdon Hall with my husband's parents for Sunday Brunch. We were celebrating my in-laws' anniversary and it was a lovely experience. The service was very professional and the food was elegant and tasty. Brunch and tip (no alcohol) for 4 people cost $350.

Luxurious spa experience

A friend and I booked full spa day packages for ourselves and a soon-to-be married friend for her bachelorette. We told her we'd be going to the spa, but kept the location a secret, right up until the time we were coming up the drive!
I had been to LH years ago for a private dinner party, but had never... more

Great long weekend stay

Great hotel with amazing grounds - access to bikes, walking trails, tennis, pool. Apparently in the winter, they turn the tennis courts into an ice rink. Food is incredible and they have epic BBQs so if they have one when you're, be sure to book - they sell out fast as they bring in star chefs from other restaurants. Service... more

Still Wonderful

We have been to Langdon Hall many times but this was our first time back since the new chef took over last fall. We were so happy with the food that I decided to do another review. We attended the first barbecue of the season. The barbecue series is always well done, but the food was particularly good this time.... more

A special treat

Beautiful stop on the way to Stratford theatre. If the weather permits...beautiful surroundings to dine outside.
Food is mostly grown in Ontario and very imaginatrly put together and presented artistically.

Wonderful weekend getaway

We just returned from a lovely weekend at Langdon Hall. We enjoyed a lovely, quiet and private room with its own terrace. It also had a fireplace, although we didn't need it given the beautiful summer weather. We did enjoy sitting by the pool, massages in the spa and a wonderful gourmet dinner. But the special treats were the wine... more

Fantastic!

Took my wife for her birthday; very romantic! Excellent staff, service was impeccable. Highly recommended!

Excellent stay

We had a wonderful stay at Langdon Hall this past weekend. It was our first year anniversary and we were given a hotel retreat package. We had swapped our spa credit for a gardening course. It was nice with a great lunch. They had all sorts of activities on the resort, like tennis, biking, hiking and swimming. The rooms were... more

Total bliss: A near-prefect post Birthday getaway

This is truly a one-of-a-kind, luxe Inn. A very special Ontario countryside gem. I had the pleasure of visiting this stunning / blissful inn for a post-birthday getaway.
Here are my highlights:
- Fabulous, peaceful location (just far enough away from the main Highway / city-centres of Cambridge, Waterloo etc.) But close enough to the nearby charming towns for anything... more

Great Hotel, but some things slipping

Have stayed here several times and enjoy the relaxing and understated elegance of the property. Comfortable and plush without being stuffy. That being said, I found several things that had slipped during my most recent viist; door knob that gets you to the main corridor of rooms came off in my hand; i immediately advised what happened in late afternoon,... more

Lovely Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I just returned from a lovely getaway at Langdon Hall. Although, we only live about 30 minutes away, it was our first time there and what a treat. We had dinner, an overnight stay and a spa day as our gift to each other for our anniversary. From the moment we drove up (spotted a family of... more

Mother's day weekend Country Retreat Special

We stayed at Langdon Hall overnight Mother’s day weekend. We arrived a little late for our dinner reservations but this did not seem to be an issue. We were warmly greeted at the door and Trevor helped us with our bags to our room.
What was noticeable upon entering was the wood burning fireplace. Its smelt lovely.
Our room was... more

Simply Excellent

I had the pleasure of staying at Langdon Hall this past weekend and if you're looking for a perfect romantic getway, then this is definitely the place for it.
We stayed in one of their "Stable Terrace" rooms and couldn't have been happier with it. From the back patio with its two rocking chairs to the comfortable bed to the... more

A Fantastic Retreat

Langdon hall was a wonderful weekend getaway from the city. It's only located an hour from Toronto, yet once you arrive you feel like you are in an entirely different place. The accommodations were comfortable and well kept, offering all the amenities that you would find in any luxury hotel. The staff were professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very friendly. We... more

Good hotel, overrated food

My wife and I recently stayed overnight at Langdon Hall for my birthday. We had the meal package. The room was pleasant with a log burning fireplace and an outdoor patio. We could only enjoy the patio for a short period because of the weather but on a sunny day it would be very enjoyable. The bathroom was nicely equipped... more

Best hotel in Canada

We got married at Langdon Hall, and it was amazing. Our room and our guests' rooms that we saw were all incredible, and it was an incredible venue to get married at, and an amazing place to stay (we stayed three nights in total). Cannot say enough amazing things about it. From top to bottom, everything about this place is... more

Excellent romantic getaway spot

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and it was everything we hoped it would be. The main house building is a gorgeous period stately mansion, which helped you feel like you were really leaving the city behind, and the room (we stayed in the main house) was cozy and comfortable. When we arrived, there was a tile with chocolate... more

Elegant, relaxing stay

On our way to Stratford, we really enjoyed or stay a couple nights at this charming country hotel. Wonderful staff took care of us. The gardens were lovely to stroll through. A relaxing break from Toronto. Recommend their spa, too.

Perfection

We stayed at Langdon Hall for a spa getaway weekend and had a perfect weekend. The property itself is historic, well-situated and grand. The property has everything you could want during a weekend stay - rooms to sit around in, a billiards room, a spa, an outdoor heated pool, a garden, etc. From the minute we walked through the front... more

Beautiful Historic Inn

Langdon Hall is a beautiful, stately old home transformed into a lovely inn. Our room was spacious and well-appointed. The in-room fireplace was lovely and since the winter has been so long, a nice touch. The food at breakfast and dinner was amazing. We enjoyed the complimentary wine tasting and cooking demonstration. They were both very well done. We also... more

Almost very good

We've stayed in Langdon Hall several times, and always enjoy it. A handsome and comfortable building in the country. Good and welcoming service. A sense of well-being. Martini in the bar listening to the pianist... The one doubt is the dining experience. It's a beautiful dining room. The service could be a little more enthusiastic but it is certainly acceptable.... more

A Historical Paradise that offers the Royal treatment

My husband surprised me with an overnight trip to Langdon Hall for my birthday and I wasnt disappointed! What a beautiful getaway with an abundance of charm. We stayed in one of the attic suites and I was seriously speechless when we entered. The food was spectacular, with fresh ingrediants from the gardens found on site. The entire compound is... more

Unexpectedly Good

Appears in the middle of the countryside as an impressive estate with large surrounding grounds. Service was worthy of 5 stars. Common areas include a bar, restaurant, billiards room, and meeting rooms, which were all in excellent condition and thoroughly modern but still with old-world charm. My room was quite spacious with a real fireplace and separate shower and bathroom.... more

Wonderfully relaxing, tantalizing cuisine

48 hours is enough time to completely unwind and feel rejuvenated. We started our retreat with the Family Day casual lunch where we enjoyed second helpings of the many tasty salads, the delicious home-made bread and other more hearty fare. A stroll along the snow covered trails, followed by a sleigh ride provided sufficient exercise to work up an appetite... more

Landgon Hall Home Away From Home

This is one of our favourite places in the Southern Ontario area. It truly is a retreat and little bit of an escape even though you are close to the city. We have been here several times and each time it is as enjoyable as the last. They have a new chef in the kitchen and that is a good... more

Love the place but not so much the dinner

After receiving a gift certificate for a night's stay, dinner and breakfast well over a year ago, we finally had a chance to go, and it was the week before Valentines so it was perfect. A great time to use the gift. I was very impressed with how short a drive it really was from Toronto and how beautiful the... more

We did return

As promised in the last review, we did go back.
We knew that there had been a change of chef and so we're looking forward to seeing if there had been a change of direction in the kitchen; thankfully there has!
Flavour has returned to compliment the excellently cooked, presented and served food. The menu has changed too; not dramatically... more

Amazing Experience as always

-What aspect of Langdon Hall did I enjoy the most?....
This is not my first visit, I love the whole package that you receive at Langdon - I was attending the Banks/ McGuin wedding and had a wonderful time- your staff is awesome, was only sad that I did not have enough time to use the spa which I have... more

Quiet, classy, comfy, caring

Imagine a get-away, 45 minutes from Toronto, where - as soon as you drive onto the property, it's as though you entered a completely different zone. A zone that makes you light hearted and peaceful….OK, so to specifics: we had a room in the Cloisters which was excellent - spacious, fireplace - seriously well appointed with clean lines. Understated and... more

Disappointing Tasting Menu - at almost $300 each

My party of eight stayed at Langdon Hall for one night shortly after Christmas 2013, and had the seven-course tasting menu with wine pairings ($220 + tax + tip each). Overall the experience was very disappointing. Not one dish stood out as memorable or exceptional. Several people in my party had visited Langdon Hall multiple times before, and told me... more

Expensive luncheon

We visited Langdon Hall on Christmas day for lunch. We were with family and friends from France. The service was courteous but rather slow. Champagne was ordered, but the bottle was not finished before red wine was brought to us at the table to go with our main dish. In fact the red wine was poured in our glasses after... more

Escape from TO

If you're looking to run away from the hip chic restos of TO with their plywood tables, cash only and no reso policies, this is the place for you. You'll find white linen on the tables, finely crafted food, excellent wine and attentive though sometimes inconsistent service. We spent a few days and enjoyed the spa, the many comfy lounges,... more

Langdon Hall was a very special treat

I went with my friend for a night for a very special treat. It meant that I had to take austerity measures for a while beforehand, but it was worth it. The special Sunday night rates are expensive but more affordable than fridays and saturdays.
The rooms are gorgeous-They even come with their own fireplaces! The whole hotel was done... more

Not like before

Our recent weekend was not as expected. We gave stayed here several times in the past and had a great time. On our most recent visit the food was disappointing . We found the food to be
Overpriced and not up to the previous standards. The breakfast buffet was not restocked. We arrived at 9am and half the buffet. Was... more

Wonderful weekend

My wife and I stayed on a Saturday night. The room (Dew Berry), the food and the Spa were wonderful. I also enjoyed hiking around the property. The only criticism was that the dinner took forever (2.5 hours!). The service was so slow. At least, when it arrived, it was fantastic and wondefully presented. I had a barley risotto and... more

An elegant and memorable experience

We love this hotel. We've stayed many times in the past with our little dachshund, Honey, in the special rooms they provide if you have a dog.
This time we stayed in the main building. Our room was fabulous, downstairs a couch and fireplace, very commodious and charming.
Above on the second level a gorgeous bed with fabulous linens, and... more

Food taste is good but dinner was cold

I and my husband went for his birthday dinner tonight ( November 2th 2013)
Beautiful place
Every one was very polite
I ordered Black cod, taste is amazing HOWEVER my dinner fish was COLD!!!!!!!
They brought it back to kitchen and heated up then it shrink !!!
I order tea after dinner
They brought sugar on small plate and spoon... more

Poor exercise facilities

My family had a fall stay at Langdon Hall and outdoor fall activities were to be the main focus of the stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the days when the weather was good but on the cool rainy days we were disappointed to find only a very small ill equipped exercise room. Every other detail of Langdon was amazing, great property,... more

Always outstanding

I have gone to Langdon Hall twice a year for the past decade. My favourite room is the ground floor of "The Stables" furthest away from the main building. It's looking a tad bit more tired these days, but is always superb.
In previous years, I would reserves the small meeting room in the middle of "The Stables" for my... more

I Spent $1000 for 24 hours and they could not even call me by my correct name

If you are looking for a quiet retreat you will enjoy it.
Facility was very pretty - but old... do not expect shinny and new - Inn or b&b like feeling
Food fancy - Great taste - but very small portions
Grounds - Very nice and well maintained
Clientele - Upper class
Very quiet - If you are looking for... more

Exceeded expectations

We wanted to celebrate something special. In our case an anniversary. I can think of no better place in Ontario to visit than Langdon Hall. Our stay was relaxing and o so filling! You will feel spoiled. The rooms are beautiful, luxurious, and spacious.
Dining here is a truly enjoyable culinary experience. Definitely the best we have had in seven... more

Excellent Stay

Top-notch facility, I can't believe I was still in Cambridge. The grounds are amazing.
I was in the Cloister king bed room (#40) and it was awesome...probably the best rooms I've ever stayed in...makes a Hilton look like a Motel 6.
We ate in Wilkes Bar for dinner and it was casual yet classy and the food was excellent (chicken... more

We had a wonderful overnight stay and two feasts of their amazing food!!! +++++++

Amazingly relaxing and dining is incredible and they use a lot of local and fresh product.

Highly recommended!

This was a fabulous place not only for a photo shoot but also for tea. Expect to tip well for the high end service you will receive. I also had the priveledge before my grandmother passed away from breast cancer to take her to high tea in the spring when the trilliums were just starting to pop out of the ground. Lovely place.

Because my son-in-law was doing the treating I did not want to embarass him with my complaint so I will do it here. My daughter likes a full bodied chardonnay and named a label that she enjoys but was not on the Langford Hall menu. The sommalier said he had an equivalent. The chardonnay he brought was of an entirely different type, Did he not know the wines in the Langford Hall cellar? Of... more

Our string duo, trio and string quartet looks forward to performing for weddings and corporate events at Langdon Hall. A great location!

One of the most unique and special get-away quiet locations in the area. Always good for the picky visitor and a nice quiet evening with good food and some ambiance - winter or summer.
