Charmantes Manor
Pros:

Es ist ein Manor aus dem vorletzten Jahrhundert. Alles ist sehr verwinkelt. Ich nehme an kein Zimmer ist gleich wie das andere.
Das Frühstück wird im Schwesterhotel serviert. Sehr gut.
Dieses Zimmer hat eine im Zimmer stehende Badewanne. Lustig.

Cons:

Das WLAN ist im Zimmer Lillie sehr schwach, manchmal gar nicht.
Schade!

Pros:

Character

Cons:

Had to wait for a breakfast table, told to go away. Lots of tables not cleared away. No glass for juice had to get one from the bar, not hot as the only member of staff in room was busy trying to keep up saying everyone had arrived at once and took awhile collecting from the kitchen

It was adequate, no wow factor.
Pros:

The hotel was interesting and quirky in a quiet location with good parking. The a staff were pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was adequate but not good having to go to sister hotel for it. Liked the tea and coffee making arrangements and plenty of bottled water available. The room was clean and large bed comfortable with nice bedding.

Cons:

Hotel run down and becoming grubby, carpets and bedroom furniture etc worn and tatty. Attention to detail very poor for example chest of drawer handles missing and bulbs in bedside table and ceiling lights missing. It doesn’t take a lot to check these things so very sloppy in this respect.
Not ideal having to go out, when wet for breakfast.

Room for improvement - a lot of room
Pros:

This is a beautiful old historic building. The rooms are spacious, immaculate and in keeping with the feel of the building. The location is a lovely residential area of Bournemouth, and the grounds are green and tranquil. There is (almost - I'll come to that) everything you need - except people. Nice breakfast (but see below).

Cons:

This is the first time I have ever visited an hotel where there is not a single member of staff in attendance. No one to greet, offer advice, give information, offer assistance. Absolutely deserted. Guests are directed to the Derby 'sister hotel' across the road, but that was similarly devoid of all human contact. There is no restaurant, no bar, no breakfast room (back to the Derby, and thankfully it wasn't raining, where, a single member of staff performed heroics dealing with dozens of bemused customers). The pleasant location has its downside, in that there are no restaurants or pubs anywhere near. A single printed sheet in the room named some food outlets, but there was no info or map to say where they were or how to get there.
To the owners of the Langtry and the Derby - this isn't on. Guests have paid good money and expect a basic standard hotel experience. I suppose it was basic.

A mixed bag.
Pros:

The bedroom was a good size with a comfortable large bed.

Cons:

The bathroom was absolutely tiny. The bath was very deep so I would not be able to get out of it. There were no grab baths for the shower so I could use the shower either as I could easily fall.
