A Sleepover At The Langley Hotel

the-langley-external.png

Discover a slick country retreat, set in fifty acres of beautifully manicured grounds, designed by landscape gardener Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, of Blenheim Palace fame. Situated a mere 40 minute drive from London, The Langley provides the perfect dose of R&R for those wanting to escape the city without venturing too far.

Driving along the A40 on the outskirts of Slough, you wouldn’t expect that turning left along a tree-fringed driveway you will arrive at The Langley, an 18th century Palladian-style mansion house-turned-hotel. Pulling up, the first impression is instantly luxe, with supercars parked around a large circular fountain and sweeping double staircases leading up to a honey-hued country pile.
