<p>The best thing about the whole-house takeover &#8211; apart from living like a Lord of Lady of the manor for the day &#8211; has to be the fact you don&#8217;t have to go home when the party&#8217;s over. Just a short stagger to your room or suite, and you can sink into plump pillows and luxury linens.</p>



<p>There are 22 rooms and suites at Langshott which come in different shapes and sizes from grand and traditional suites to a quaint and cosy doubles. Bedrooms are spread across the main Tudor manor house, the Moat Mews and the garden and each one is individually styled with luxury at its core. Think ornate four-poster beds with grand velvet curtains, freestanding bathtubs, private terraces and decks, and lovely luxe touches like fluffy robes and slippers plus TempleSpa toiletries. There&#8217;s a nod to the rolling Surrey hills with beautiful bold botanic prints</p>



<p>In keeping with history of this Tudor manor, rooms are named after King Henry VIII and his wives, ors famous castles like Leeds.</p>
