Langdon Hall Country House Hotel & Spa

We’ve been staying at Langdon Hall since 2003 — more than 20 visits now — and each time we return, we’re reminded why it continues to be such a special place. Over the years, it’s only grown more refined, more beautiful… and yes, more expensive. But the experience remains unmatched. Our one-night stay over the Easter weekend was, as always, a delight. The hotel was filled with the most stunning floral arrangements, a signature touch that instantly elevates every space. We were thrilled to see the refreshed decor in the solarium and Wilks Bar — tasteful, inviting, and in perfect keeping with Langdon’s timeless elegance. The pool table, now relocated to a better spot within the games room, also makes a lot more sense and fits the space much more comfortably. Dinner was exceptional, as it always is — every course beautifully executed and delivered with the seamless service Langdon Hall is known for. Breakfast the next morning was equally sumptuous. These meals are a true highlight of any stay here. This time we stayed in the Main House, which is ideal during the colder months. (In the summer, we like a Cloisters room with terrace.) Returning to our room after dinner and lighting a fire in the fireplace was the perfect end to the evening. The Easter eggs left at turndown were a charming and thoughtful seasonal touch that made us smile. Another lovely addition since our last visit is the new wine boutique — an impressive space featuring an incredible array of new releases and fine vintages. On a mild afternoon, we enjoyed our glasses by the pond and soaked up some sun— it was absolutely idyllic. Cocktails remain superb, crafted with great care and creativity. While the prices have definitely crept up (many now in the $30–$50 range), the quality and presentation reflect the attention to detail that defines everything at Langdon Hall. After all these years, Langdon Hall still feels like a treat — a place where every moment is considered and every visit is memorable. It’s no wonder we keep coming

My son and I were able to experience Langdon Hall’s Maple Harvest recently and it was wonderful! We had a delicious lunch in the Main Dining Room and met Jeremy, the head groundskeeper, after lunch. Jeremy walked us over to the maple sugaring station where we discovered that attempts to harvest sap from the black walnut trees on the property were successful this year. We had known this was a goal from our visit last year but the colder winter made the dream of collecting this sap real. With Renard, the ‘mad scientist’, we tasted maple and black walnut sap (they are different from each other in subtle but significant ways) and maple and black walnut syrup. The synergistic relationship between the kitchen and the grounds was on full display as we talked about how the black walnut syrup could be used (black walnuts candied in black walnut syrup - delicious!; black walnut syrup in whisky cocktails - please have some on board at Christmas!). Walking through the greenhouses was another experience that illuminated the connection between the grounds and the kitchen. It is no accident that food is so delicious at LH. The creativity of Jason B., his chefs and the groundskeepers takes dining to another level. Our last stop was with Cody who taught us how to make maple bouchons, using science to explain how bouchons are made. There were, of course, candied walnuts to try and a delicious cold-brewed black walnut coffee to fortify us before our return trip to the GTA. All in all, a not-to-be-missed experience. Kudos to LH for such a wonderful day!

Poor customer service experience at both the spa and reservations desk coupled with a lack of attention to detail. Since this was the first time visiting the hotel, we posed questions about the rooms, spa and the grounds and the entire team had very limited knowledge. Do not be fooled with Weekend Getaway Packages and be sure to ask about the fee details since there is very little transparency on pricing. Not what I expected and definitely not recommended.

Food and accommodations were superlative. Service by staff who love their jobs. Little missteps that were easily sorted. Thoughtful consideration for celiacs. Loved the valet and porter service. And the consideration for our dogs. They had an amazing time. It was an wonderful Christmas experience.

We had a nice visit. On the whole the room was nice, the restaurant was very good, the spa was awesome, the people are very hospitable. Be aware: the room we stayed in with a fireplace has a very smoky odor. It seems wherever there is a wood burning fireplace in the building you get this strong odor which is to be expected, the fireplaces are not the kind with sealed glass doors, if you are sensitive to this then choose a room without the fireplace. The dining is very good but caters to wine so don’t expect a lot of choice if you drink beer like me, they do have some cans and they do have Guinness yay! Their draft beer is ok if you like lager with fruity taste. We didn’t get a chance to see the trails. A bit pricey but a good spot to go for a getaway, and the spa is exceptional.
