The Langford Inn

We booked for 4 nights in the Blagdon suite during a coldish February week Here's the cons: The suite, while having a very comfortable bed and cosy mezzanine lounge, in our opinion the room needs more lighting, as only two small skylight windows. Also urgently requires a draught excluder to cover the half inch gap under the main entrance door - the room was cold enough at night, even with the heater on, to require our coats on top of the very thin and synthetic duvet; also requires a new bed throw to replace the existing one which had a large hole in it. And personally, I'd remove all the plastic plants - unnecessary. Also attention needs to be given to the outdoor areas, which although winter, still require the overflowing ashtrays to be regularly emptied - not a good look. Now the excellent pros: very comfortably furnished pub, with outstanding staff and exceptional food (best fish and chips we've ever tasted!) - our huge thanks to chefs Charlie and James, and bar/waiting staff Charlotte, Jess, Olivia, Jack and Ollie and housekeeper Claire. Made our stay memorable! With the few easy tweaks as above definitely a five!

My husband and I stayed one night in the Sandford room, which was spacious, warm and quiet. We dined in the restaurant and the food was beautifully presented and very tasty. The bed was extremely comfortable and we both had a good night's sleep. We wished we had stayed longer, but we'll be back!

My wife and I stayed for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed it! It was relaxed, comfortable and everything was at a very high standard. Warm welcome upon arrival, our room was large, clean and with good amenities, the bathroom was new as was the rest of the room and it was “just the job!” I’m always slightly wary of the menu when staying three nights in the same place but any reservations were totally unfounded. The menu, the quality of produce and the way it was cooked, presented and served was absolutely superb. Every dish was of the highest quality, starters, meat, fish and puddings were all without fault and sincere thanks to Carl, Will and the whole team in the kitchen. You really are very, very good. On a wider note of recognition the others in the team we had encounters with were all professional and friendly; at the risk of forgetting someone, (for which I apologise), Lauren and Charlotte who run the show are exemplars for the hospitality industry and Charlotte, if you want it, go for promotion. You would be brilliant! Jess, Jack, Elisah all deserve mention and individually and collectively they added huge value to our stay. Not forgetting Claire and Sophie who freshened our room. Thank you. Jonathon Lawson take note, from a customer perspective you have a dream team here, doing a great job and serving terrific food

The Langford Suite was spacious and very well presented. It could be improved by having a side or coffee table by the two chairs in room to put drinks on when sitting in chairs also a reading lamp above sofa bed would be useful. All the staff were very pleasant but Jack and Lauren were exceptional with their hospitality skills. Jack is a huge asset to Langford Inn if only front of house staff were all like him…

A lovely pub with friendly helpful staff. The room was delightful, well decorated, clean and modern. We had a lovely welcome and treats for our dogs. Great quality tea and coffee and fresh milk, biscuits would have been nice. The bed was comfy and the room quiet. We had a meal in the pub which was fantastic and a delicious breakfast. A great weekend away.

We stop off regularly at this Butcombe property on our way from Yorkshire to Cornwall. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the food is excellent. Parking seems easy and secure. The staff are very friendly and accomodating - all in all, highly recommended. Don't forget to joint the Butcombe loyalty club for great rates and offers.
