Langton House, Dorset, England

A former school (ex-pupils include author Ian Fleming), Langton House was, apparently, something of a harsh, unforgiving academy – all cold showers and 10-mile cross-country runs. Not anymore! Today the main house is comprised of 21 modern yet characterful apartments, plus a host of communal facilities. The majority of the apartments are single storey and many of them enjoy good views south. Eight of the apartments are pet-friendly and one has also been adapted for wheelchair access. Most of them have open-plan interiors and some have additional details such as dormer windows which add to the charm and display the undulating landscape beyond the walls.

The apartments range from one bedroom to three bedrooms and the largest can sleep six guests. The two and three-bedroom apartments are comfortable and practical for family holidays while the one-bedroom apartments are better suited to couples or smaller family groups. Elegant furnishings keep things modern, with kitchens and open-plan living areas forming part of a practical living space while little details and a careful homely touch maintain the original charm of this Purbeck stone building.

Facilities/equipment

All bedrooms sleep two people in either a double or separate beds, but some of the one and two-bedroom apartments also come equipped with a Sofa bed or Z-bed in order to accommodate extras. All apartments are fully furnished and have a kitchen equipped with everything you could need.
